Merry Day After Christmas!

We survived our first Christmas in our own house. Now on to the fun part...the cleaning :) Unfortunately me and my dish washer are not very good friends...and one day when I have some money it is going to be fired and I will get one that actually works :) 

It was a great time in our house we let Ty open up one present on Christmas Eve. We started a new tradition of giving each other pajamas on Christmas eve. So We wrapped up Ty's Jammie's and a toy so it wasn't to much of a disappointment. So this year I was able to find a very fun set of matching Jammie's for Matt and Ty.

Matt's say Wii and Ty's say Mini Wii...and Ty has not taken them off since Christmas Eve :) 

They thought they were pretty cool. 

Ty had a great Christmas, I think he got all he wanted and much much more. Thank you to everyone who sent him gifts...I think I am going to be stuck in the house for the next several days...He is going to want to stay home and just play with his stuff. 

It's the most wonderful time of the year

I'm so sorry it has been so long. The good news is my mom is still talking to me even though I have been such a slacker with my blog. We have been very busy! As I am sure most of you know we just found out that number 2 is on the way! Yes you heard right, I am about 8 weeks. We are going in on Monday for an ultrasound to see exactly how far. So besides me being able to fall asleep anywhere and not interested in ANY food. We have been busy little bees decorating our house for the Holidays. In Nov. my mom stopped by to help me find some chairs for my dinning room. We ended up buying some at a second hand store and refinishing them...Sounded like a good idea at the time. But lucky for us they turned out BEAUTIFUL! So I am all set for any Holiday gatherings in style. It was a project that would make Grandma Kay very proud! It's the kind of thing she would do.

For Christmas we put lights on the outside of the house and put up our tree. Ty is loving all the decorations. He loves pulling up to the house when it is all lit up. This weekend we welcomed our first snow fall. Ty thought it was pretty cool. We woke up to it coming down and with in a matter of hours there was enough for a good snow man. So Ty and Matt took advantage of it.Here are some pictures from the excitement that has been happening around our house. Hope this finds everyone doing well and enjoying the most wonderful time of the year...

Yes I had to match my wrapping paper to my living room decor :) I couldn't help myself...

The DINNING ROOM CHAIR PROJECT:

Chairs Before:

Chairs after: (this is what the two end chairs look like)

The others just have a very beautiful black fabric... We still have some decorating to do in that room but it would not be very much fun if it was just done. It's more fun to look for stuff and decorate as you go. :)
