Reindeer Invasion

Today Sean and I went for lunch with my cousin Iris, her husband Jack, and their adorable puppy MJ. Sean had recommended an Indian restaurant, Flavors, right outside Collierville. We all had a really good time and a good lunch while catching up. We only get to see each other every few years as we live in different states. Of course I took some adorable shots of Iris, Jack, and MJ, but I promised Jack they wouldn't be on blip. Afterwards Sean and I drove around Collierville for a bit. I got to see the Campus Sean works at now and some massively huge houses nearby. HUGE! 6000+ sqft and even more if you include outside spaces were some of the smaller homes on that street. Some of them were over 12000+ sqft in just livable interior space. Amazingly beautiful homes, each with their own beautiful courtyard areas, and each with their very own Million to 2 Million dollar price tags. Oh what the kittens could do with that much space... that would be very, very, VERY dangerous! We then went to check out a tea shop I'd found online in that area, Low Arts Tea Haven. Very cute shop with very tasty teas. After sampling several teas, we purchased some of each, then went for a walk around the area. They had decorated the whole area with large reindeer in various positions lounging around on benches, an occasional roof, and a few just standing around outside shops enjoying the day. It's so nice to see an area go all out with decorations. So few places do that around here anymore.
