Catch up...

So here is what we've been doing lately. The weekend after our friends came in, my Mom came to stay. Trips to Atlanta mean even more to my mom now that Jason is here too. We had pretty relaxing weekend, decorating for Chirstmas, shopping at Garden Ridge and going to a Thrashers Hockey game. Thanks for coming to stay with us mom and for cooking and cleaning while you were here too ;)


At the Thrashers game

I love this sequence of pictures. We got everything done and I asked Josh if he would put the star on the tree so this is him doing just that.

Then here I am fixing it...hehehe...look at his face :). It's got to be perfect right??

And here we are glad to have the house decorated.

We didn't actually put these up that weekend. Josh wanted to surprise me when I got home on Sunday from Thanksgiving but he ended with a stomach virus so while Josh was laid up in bed his dad hung these for us. Thank you Bob, that was so sweet of you and it looks very festive. Sorry the picture isn't better.

Here is the tree. I wish you could see all of the color on it because I just don't think this picture does it justice but we love it! I think I want to get a bigger one next year :)

The kitchen is decorated with all of my blue snowman stuff to match the Christmas china Karen got me years ago. One day I will have a dining room to put all of that in but until then...

Here is Josh's man tree. It has Georgia Bulldog ornaments and other sports stuff.

I finally have some place to string garland. Yay!

And I finally have a mantle, even better Yay!

Moving on to the next weekend which was Thanksgiving. Jason and I went to Knoxville while Josh stayed in Atlanta to hang out with his family. We got home on Wednesday night and stayed pretty busy from there on out. We went to my Grandparents on Thursday and had the delicious tradional feast. Later that night we helped my mom put up her decorations since she was such a big help to us. Friday Mom and I did our traditional "black Friday" shopping. I haven't been shopping in Knoxville in years!! Friday afternoon we had lunch and Dad and Robin's and I got to see my Granny that I don't get to see often. We had a great time catching up and laughing at old stories. Friday night I went to Erin's to see all of Hayley's wedding progress and just to hang out with the girls (this is where I start getting tired since Mom and I got up at 3:45am to shop). Saturday was a pretty lazy day. We were going to go to the game but the weather was gross so we opted not to. It was so sad to watch Fulmer that night. I don't care what people say, I'm going to miss him :(. Overall it was a great time at home and I think I gained 10 pounds. Here are some pics.

I got almost all of my shopping done in one morning. THANK YOU BELK! The only person I didn't get was Mom and that's because she was with me. It was a very successful day!

My sweet Granny. We also celebrated her birthday at Dad's on Friday.

Jason and I with Robin. I look like I just ate a whole turkey in this picture.

Well that's about it for now. I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving. I know I have so much to be thankful for right now!!
