Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Hope everyone has a wonderful day today and enjoys the rest of the holidays!

By the way, these Christmas cards were free :) I was so excited! I blogged about it here and Shutterfly delivered!

Christmas Decor and My First DIY wreath!

This year was the first year that Colt and I went and picked out and bought our own Christmas tree. We had used my tiny one from college and my parent's old tree the past few years. We looked at a few and ended up getting a big one that we liked from Home Depot. We didn't even wait until after Thanksgiving to put it up. It was up the day that we got it. I thought it might be a little big when we first put it up in our house but now I love it!

I also got the idea that I would make my own Christmas wreath this year, and I think that it turned out great! I was very happy with it. I did scratch our kitchen table when I was making it though, and that I wasn't happy about. I didn't think about the wire on the back scratching up the table and it did. Luckily, it isn't too noticeable. Colt gave me a hard time though. He was like, "so how much money did you end up saving by making your own wreath?" Evidently, it wasn't too much after messing up the table, but it was bound to get messed up one day right?

Thanksgiving Festivities

I'm more than a little behind on my blogging! We're in Utah right now on vacation, but I figured while I had a minute I would try to catch up a little. For Thanksgiving this year, we did what we have the last couple of years. We went to see my family for lunch, and then we went to Colt's mom's and caught the end of their Thanksgiving that night. A few days before we also went to Gerald's parent's  house for their annual Tamale Party. Unfortunately, I didn't get hardly any pics of anything over Thanksgiving. It was great to spend time with family and friends and enjoy the holiday though. We have a lot to be thankful for and are really blessed!

Here are a few random pics that I did get over Thanksgiving.
