Christmas Time is Here.....

I was so excited to take out all my Christmas Decorations and get them up this weekend.

I actually upgraded my tree from a 3 ft to a 7 ft this year too!!

Wednesday night we poured our eggnog and took the new tree out of the box only to find I had bought the only non-Prelit tree at Lowe's. Sad! But we loaded up and got our lights and came back and got it all decorated!!

Congratulations!!

On Friday my sister got engaged! I am so excited for her and Ryan!

We were all at one of her friends house and got to really suprise her. She had been calling everyone and was dissapointed no one was answering her phone calls to tell them the news-little did she know we were all waititing for her and Ryan to show up!!

Newleywed Tip of the Week...

Always have your spare car keys handy.

Yes, yesterday I not only locked my keys in the car-I locked my whole purse!
The officer at work tried to get in with a "slim jim", but it didn't work.
When David got home he had to look in all the "possible" places I thought the
keys were. Thankfully he found them and came to my rescue before anyone saw my purse
in the front seat and decided to break in!

So Cute!

Another Holiday House Find-

Check out the website! They had the cutest frames!

Back when I had lots of leisure time (before having a full time, demanding job) I actually

used to be very crafty! I really want to get into some crafts again-or at least when Christmas

season is over. I really want to learn to make cute frames like these! I know, mine won't

look anything as cute-but I have been inspired!

Highlight

After a long week at work I went to Holiday House(put on my the Junior League of Little Rock) on Friday night after work. I LOVED IT, it was the highlight of my week!!! It was the first time I had ever been and it will be a must from now on!
They have vendors set up booths in the State House Convention Center and they were selling some very cool unique things. I came out with a lot of fun Holiday peices!

My favorite booth was THE PEWTER CO. from Ruston, LA. It was full of great silver platters and other pieces.

Now I am looking forward to setting up Christmas Decorations!!!

New Years Resolutions

This past January as our resolution we decided to give up something or doing something different each month instead of one thing for the whole year. We have made it to November
so I thought I would let you know what we have done so far.

January- Wing Stop
February- Bethany gave up shopping(except groceries) and David gave up Sushi
March- Buying Wine
April- Eating out (unless it was once a week and had to be under $50)
May- Eat at our Kitchen Table (not in front of TV)
June- Ice Cream
July- Bethany gave up using her Dillard's card,
August- Bethany can not eat anything from the vending machine at work and
David is brushing his teeth EVERY night
September- Digiorno Pizza
October- Shells and Cheese
November- Do Tai Bo(We bought a Billy Blakes DVD)
December-? Any ideas?? We are open to input!

After each month of giving up something, for the most part we realized after the time was

over it helped to cut the craving or bad habit out. Of course this does not apply to the

shopping or drinking wine!

Haloween

I am not a big haloween person, which is surprising because I REALLY like candy!

But, this year I got a little more sprited than usual and got Racal a Haloweencostume. You can tell in the picture how excited he was to be wearing it!
