Birthday Seasons ?!?!?

Hey there Rosebuds I've recently made a deduction of sorts and I don't know if I'm alone on this observation or not but I have noticed that we have "Birthday Seasons" meaning that with our family it seems that "Birthday Season" is kind of split in two parts. Before I get ahead of myself let me explain my hypothesis LOL!!

Our first "season" starts off in October with my sis-in-law, Amy's bday , followed by my Hubby's bday in November and our niece, Tiffany's bday also in November. After that we have my sister Kristy's bday in December followed by none other than the "MacDaddy" Jesus himself celebrating a bday in December too!! Next is my Mom, Bonnie's bday and my bro-in-law, Len's bday in January!! Phew!! One "Birthday Season" finished with a short break in February.



Our second "season" kicks off in March with my brother, Dan's bday, followed in April by our two nephew's Noah and Lenny, which both celebrate their bdays in April, June brings us my sister, Kim's bday, and our lovebug son, Connor's bday!! Then we have yours truly's (Moi) bday in July along with our older lovebug, our daughter, Brittany's bday!!! Now that's just "immediate" family, this list in no way reflects all of our family bdays!! So you see what I mean by "Birthday Seasons"? How about your family? Do you have "Birthday Seasons" too? Let me know!! TTYL Rosebuds xoxoxoxo... <3 br="">

We cruised to the Bahamas on a Haunted Horror Cruise, it was wicked fun!! The entire bottom floor (where guests usually aren't allowed) was tramsformed into a HUGE walk through haunted house.. It was AMAZING!! No pics allowed in there but the entire ship was themed including the delicious delicacies!! Sooo fun!!!

We also took our first trip to "The Big Easy" .... We loved New Orleans!! We did everything from French Quarter to the Bayou & everything in between!!! Beignets, gumbo, jambalaya, etc!!! What's not to love????

If you watch American Horror Story Coven this should look familiar.

Home of Vampire Author Anne Rice

All Saints Day Parade to the cemetery.

We also visited the infamous LaLaurie Mansion!!

Happy Fall Y'all

Fall is here and I must confess, I adore it!!! It's truly "Redhead" season!!! We were born for these colors!

 I've been slacking on my blog posts lately and I apologize. I'm not making excuses (that's my story anyway, lol!) but we have been super busy with our Halloween and Fall pursuits lately & I just haven't gotten to the blog... So, I'm sorry, and without further adieu our latest adventures!!

We started our Halloween celebration with our annual trip to Mickeys Not so Scary!!

 

Our decorated suite at Port Orleans

(ok, my honey & I might have cut out sometime alone on our weekend getaway for the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot) but the rest of the getaway was all Trick or Treating, Fireworks, parades, and of course no Halloween kickoff is complete without .. Universals HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS!! It was awesome especially the Michael Myers "Halloween" house!!

A few days later we hopped a flight to LA to continue the party west coast style!!

Shopping natch!!

Our view of Hollywood from Hilton Universal.

We checked in after lunching & shopping in Burbank. Took a little rest, and took on 

Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood!! It was AMAZING!!! Next we were headed to the Madonna Inn (WOW!!) but first a Beverly Hills Sprinkles stop!!

Then we headed to Little Tokyo for beauty shopping!!! (heaven!! Pure bliss!) 

so then we finally headed up the coast to San Luis Obispo, but on the way we just had to have dinner at a true Ca landmark Pea Soup Andersens

Such yummy fun!!

So when we finally got to Madonna Inn we were very very happy to check into the "old mill room" (think its a small world complete with water wheel) it was magical!!

For any of my "pink" friends OMG!! This place is bathed in pink!!! And the pink champagne cake was DIVINE!!

See told ya!! Pink heaven!! :0)

Then finally onto Disneyland!! We checked into Disneys Grand Californian and took on Disneyland and California Adventure... We had a blast!! 

Mickeys Halloween Party with a West coast swing!!

Which witch is witch?

Doing what we do best... Just being  "Goofy" Hope you're having a Happy Fall Too Y'all!! TTYL ❤️
