It's begining to look alot like Christmas!

I started decorating for Christmas as soon as we got back from our trip. I love looking at the Christmas tree all lit up at night. Things are coming along nicely.

We don't really have room for the tree in our living room in the new house, so the only real place to put it is in the front room ( because its empty, I am still not sure what to do with this room).

The girls also did a little ugly Christmas sweater cookie decorating too:)

It's the most wonderful time of the year...and with that being said, I am ready for school to start back:)

Happy Sunday!

More from Tennessee

WARNING picture overload... If you don't like looking at peoples vacation photos just hope off this blog now:)

As I was saying yesterday we spent the week with my family in Tennessee. The weather was so nice and I finally got my fall fix!

I mean look how gorgeous this is... I took it with my iPhone. There is just something about the fall leaves that make me happy.

We went to one of our favorite little places for breakfast, The Pancake pantry.

During breakfast David looked at me and said "Our kids just aren't made for cold weather, they look like a hot mess" HA! between putting on and taking off the coats, gloves and toboggans we all looked  a little crazy.


After breakfast we took the girls to an arcade and then we went up to Ober Gatlinburg.

They rode the Alpine slide which they really enjoyed.

And had lots of fun just hanging out at the Cabin with everyone.

I have SO much to be thankful for. I hope each and every one of you had a great thanksgiving and were able to spend it with those you love.

Thanksgiving 2016

We loaded up the minivan and headed to Gatlinburg, Tn last Sunday right after church. But the night before we left this one lost a tooth!

We stopped in Atlanta and spent the night at the Anderson Bed and Breakfast :) We Loved being able to stay with our friends, Mike & Sherrie. They are hands down the BEST hosts I know! We were up till after midnight talking and catching up so I completely forgot to take any pictures.


We made it to Tennessee on Monday at noon. My parents rented a cabin for all of us to stay the week in.

It was so fun all 12 of us staying all together..under the same roof..in close quarters..with 5 kids:))

My girls absolutely love it when they can spend time with their cousins.

They had fun riding go carts:

Morgan & Cason

They did the Zorb Ball....They went down a thousand foot hill in a hamster ball..And loved it!

And So may other fun times making memories.

More pictures up tomorrow.  We drove home today so it's been a long day, I must do laundry now:(

Halloween 2016

A 50's diner waitress and Mulan:)

This year for the first time ever, we stayed home and didn't go to a church's trunk or treat. We let the girls walk around our neighborhood with some friends. They had a great time and Morgan and her friend stayed at our house and passed out candy. Worked out perfect!

The LOOT!

Now we will all be on a sugar high till the weekend:)
