Oh what fun

This week we got our tree all decorated!! This year I wanted to do a theme, so I choose gold, white and crème. I love the way it turned out! Daniels parents gave us their fake tree cause they got a new one, so we will put that one downstairs in the play room. It will be the more traditional tree.

Speaking of which……. we got our carpet down. Such a transformation since we moved in.

I can’t what to get our furniture down here. But Daniel threw his back out digging up 4 bushes and a Japanese maple. So may be this weekend.

Lilly and I cuddled Saturday she had a running nose. I am ready for winter!! This weather is not my cup of tea. I wish it would make its mind up.

We also went over to the Horaks for Sam’s Birthday Lilly loved her hanging ornaments.

At church on Sunday we were late so Lilly and I hung outside. She’s able to wipe her own nose now and throw things in the trash. So sweet!!!

First tree in Boone

So we decided that this year we were going start a new tradition. The day after Thanksgiving we headed out to Boone (instead of black Friday shopping) The Johnson and us rented a little cabin and stayed for one night. This one day/night consisted of some light shopping around,burnt pizza, fighting a wind storm to get a bonfire lit, smores, chasing after two toddlers and finding the perfect tree. There aren't a whole lot of pictures of the Johnson's cause I think some might be used for the Holidays. So I will update later!
So much fun!

These are some pics from Thanksgiving Day!!

A Two day feast in every way

Our Thanksgiving started Wednesday we did some grocery shopping and then ate some chick fi la la. Lilly has moved on to the strips.

Then I cooked my first turkey and corn bread stuffing. We had Katie and Justin join us for dinner. Did I mention I made cherry pie and steamed artichokes.

We stop by my parents on that thankful morning to have some mimosas and then we were off to eat at the Krause's.

We ended the day at my parents house for an oyster roast. It was Casey's first time and I think she kind of liked it!

It was a perfect day and we couldn't be more blessed.
