Getting ready for Christmas

So we are finally starting to get our Christmas decorations up. It's been so nice to have everything out since this is our first Christmas in our own place. Last year at Christmas we were still at the in-laws house.

This our first tree of many! Brandon and I decorated it on Sunday. We put lights out on our balcony too put I don't have a good picture of that. Brandon LOVES doing the Christmas decorations maybe even a little more than I do. It just makes our place feel cozy and homey with all the Christmas stuff up. We LOVE Christmas time!
P.S. This is my 100th post! Yeah!

Thanksgiving Weekend

I had a WONDERFUL weekend with my family in town. Mostly we just spent quality time together. On Saturday (their last day here) we drove up to Sevierville and went to the "Christmas Place." It is seriously the biggest Christmas store EVER and it totally got us in the Christmas spirit! So much so, that everyone agreed to be in the picture above!

This is just part of the Christmas Village they had on display! Have I mentioned how much I love Christmas!




Me and my boys! I miss them already!



Me and my Dad with a beautiful view behind us. My dad just LOVED Tennessee! He loved how beautiful it is here. Maybe my family will move here someday *fingers crossed*




Dad & I next to the "Friendship Bell" in Oak Ridge.


Overall, we had a blast and I would have been happy if we just sat at home the whole time. I am just glad I got to see my family and they got to see our home and where we live. I hope I will be able to go home soon and see everyone that wasn't able to make it here.

So I am ready for more visitors anytime! Any takers?!

Fun on the Wii

Here are some videos of us playing the Wii. Boxing is was so fun but, man was it a workout! My arms were hurting afterward but maybe that just means I am out of shape! Yeah, that's probably it!
