Merry Christmas Part one

Hey there! Sorry it has been awhile...my last post was about New Moon (and I am still loving that movie). Anyways, we have been having a wonderful holiday season. I figured I would make this a two poster because there is alot to talk about and I don't have time to do it all today. First, I thought I would post some pictures of our house with the Christmas decorations.

Here are the cute things my mom made for our front doors. They were selling these at Mistletoe for $120 each and we made them for ALOT cheaper than that! Love them!

Our fabulous Christmas tree! 11 feet of pure joy!!! haha. I had to talk Josie into this purchase, but I figure we will use it for many years to come.

Another view of our tree with the dining room table.

The mantle. Our stocking are from Pottery Barn (and notice that Guss and Riley have mini stockings).

I also ordered a couple more for little future bambinos (and that means babies...but not anytime soon!)

The side board by the front door. Also known as the table that holds "the book," aka our wedding album

And that ends the Christmas decorations portion of the post.

Next up, I had a Christmas party/cookout for my friends from work. Yeh for physical therapists! I am so glad they were able to come all the way to Canton. Most of them live in Jackson and they like to joke that Canton is so far away....So Josie was the grill master for hamburgers and hotdogs and we snacked on some yummy appetizers.

Lastly, acouple of weeks ago, me and my favorite Phi Mu ladies headed to Vicksburg for our annual Christmas Party at Lindsey's house. We had so much fun!!! We played dirty santa and then went to a local bar to dance the night away...like old school Cheers style (if you don't know what Cheers was in Starkville, you missed a great time). Thanks Linds for hosting our party this year. It was so much fun! And thanks to my wonderful Phi Mu friends who are so fabulous! I am so glad to have found this group of women and so lucky to have these best friends. (and we missed the great girls that couldn't make it this year)

We were shaking our tail feather...haha!

And in honor of the girls that couldn't make it this year, this is our annual party picture from last year at my old house.

Up next is a youtube link. I posted awhile back about the Ole Miss Rave they had at the library in Oxford? Remember? Anyone? I guess that's a no. Anyways, well that wonderful school in Starkville had a rave in Mitchell Memorial. Man I wish they would have done that when we were there.

Longest post in history. Sorry about that. But don't worry, there will more than likely be another one tomorrow bc we are going to a tacky Christmas party tonight and I'm sure there will be some eventful pictures. Have a great saturday!
