We started off the morning making deviled eggs, it was both our first time so it was pretty funny--then we went to my granny and pawpaws with my mom's side of the family for lunch. we went home for a bit to spend some time with the pups and then went to joeys parents for dinner, it was scrum as always! i tried not to eat TOO much...gotta make sure i can fit into my wedding dress in February!
*Peyton at the in-laws, passsed out!*
Sunday we went and got a bunch of christmas stuff!! we didnt really have a whole lot since its our first married christmas, my mom DID give us our stockings and tree skirt at my first wedding shower- love them!
i went and got the puppies their stockings at walmart, Potter of course has the Braves one, and I got Delilah the UGA one--when i got home added a girly touch for our baby girl but puttin some 'pearls' on it! ;)
and i LOVE our tree skirt!! my mom even had 'the rickels' put on it! :)
decorating the tree was a ton of fun! we just got lights and different colored bulbs, but this weekend my mom is gonna give me a bunch of family ornaments so im excited :)
we also put some lights around the back deck, and a wreath on the front door!
joey found a Braves santa hat while we were shopping for christmas stuff...so of course he HAD to get it! my husband IS the ultimate braves fan!
so so much fun! im hoping after this christmas, when all the decor goes on sale i can get more for next year. i absolutley LOVE christmas! the past couple years ive been a bit of a scrooge...either joey wasnt here or he was about to leave. but he's home! and not goin anywhere!! so im back in my usual christmas spirit! ive already changed my ringtone (you know i still bust out the old NSYNC Christmas CD...its a classic, and totally made 'The Christmas Song'--sung by JT of course-- my ringtone!) and every night i look and see whats playing on ABCs 25 days of christmas! i just absolutley love this time of year!
We also have our advent wreath out and are doing our prayers every night :)
Sunday we're going to my moms to decorate her house/tree and eat some pizza, which will be a ton of fun :) im excited! AND i already ordered and mailed out our christmas cards...and todays what? Dec 2? yup... told you i love christmas!
We still have to get started on Christmas shopping, and our company party is coming up too! I got to plan it which was a TON of fun! we're having it in one of the ballrooms at Villa Christina! so excited!
Joey sold his car last night, sad times! he was bummed out the rest of the night! he loves his new truck but...that integra was his first love!! luckily he sold it to someone we know so he'll still be able to see 'her' lol.
Joey saying goodbye :(
and his new truck:
we're both loving our new cars, its nicer to be in something bigger!
I also started trying to learn to crochet...keyword TRY! lol, i really like it...im just frustrated bc i havent MADE anything yet! I can do the chain stitch and the single crochet..and kinda the double crochet. i THOUGHT id be able to make a scarf..or hat..and started trying and ended up making this little baby hat...more like barbie hat lol.
i did this thanksgiving night, and havent touched it since-i was gettin too frustrated! but i think when i get home tonight ill pick it back up again and try :) i got 2 books and have watched a few videos on youtube so im hoping the more i familiarize myself with it the better/quicker ill learn!
other than thanksgiving and all the fun upcoming christmas stuff its life as usual for us! just work, church, RCIA,...thats about it!
i LOVE my little family :)
