Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve with my parents at their house.

We had a nice visit with them and enjoyed tamales and yummy treats.

We left and headed back to Waco to open our traditional Christmas Eve pj's and have blue crab nachos!  We love crab on Christmas Eve.

We got all snuggly in our pj's and attempted a picture.  It's always so fun to try to manage a shot of us all looking.  Our pj's are on our bodies, but might not be in the picture.  So fun though!

Merry Merry!

Go Panthers!

We supported our Midway Panthers and went to the State football game in Arlington.

15-0!!!  What a wonderful year of football it has been!

We knew the kids would have a fun time and so did we.  I just love staring at that huge TV!

We didn't win the game, but it was a wonderful season and I'm so thankful to be a part of a great school district.  We love our schools! 

Woohoo for Christmas break!

The kiddos are so thrilled for break!  No school until 2018!

They decided to try on their ski gear again since we will be skiing after Christmas!

decorating for Christmas

It is so fun decorating a new house at Christmas time.

We have a front room that attaches to the kitchen.  It could be a formal dining room or even an office if it had doors.  We wanted a music area and knew that this room would be the perfect spot for the Christmas tree.  Someday we will remove the light fixture and then it will look less dining-ish in that area.

I'm loving our little Santa on the door.  When the wind blows his beard blows and he sways.  I just love his little face.

This time of year is just so wonderfully sweet.  I'm thankful each and every day for the blessings in my life.  Merry Christmas decorating y'all!

My favorite holiday

 

I just love Thanksgiving.

 

Lily does too.  

he pups are waiting for Gary to drop something while carving the turkey.  

Look at her tongue sticking out.

 

I'm super thankful for our new home this year. We are loving it and we are happy to have invited family to join us in our turkey day feast!

 

Look at the adorable bottles my momma made me for decor.  I'm going to keep them around all year long, I just love them!

 

I love food!

I'm so excited we are sitting on our deck. Gary and his awesome buddies build us a deck and we are loving it.  We plan to finish staining it in a few months, but for now it is a wonderful addition to our backyard.  The pups are loving laying on it and sunbathing.  

We are blessed and so thankful! 

Thanksgiving Break starts NOW!

 

WooHoo, bring on the Turkey!
