{Family Pics}

I'm loving that I can finally share mine and Coral's family pics.

Yes, she is wearing a tutu.

I love how they turned out.

{Christmas Cards}

Everyone that I sent cards to should have received them by now so I can finally share which one I picked.

I always use Shutterfly...this year my cards kind of broke the bank.

I looked through every card they offered and then when I went to compare the ones I liked, they all just so happened to be Erin Condren cards...which are a little more pricey than some of the other cards offered, but I just couldn't find any other card that I loved.

I LOVED all of the Erin Condren designs.

Go figure!

{12 Dates of Christmas}

I loved this movie...

My sister and I watched it Monday night.

So cute!

{New Girl}

Most of my shows are done until after Christmas, but I loved that New Girl was new last night.

I'm pretty sure that this is my absolute favorite show right now.

I love it!

{Tacky Christmas}

I'm loving the tacky Christmas sweaters that I found at the thrift store yesterday.

They should be perfect for my Tacky Christmas party on Friday.

Don't worry, I will blog about the party next week.

Should be a blast!

{Spreading the Love}

I'm loving our Christmas card door.

I hung them all up last night.

Sorry for the blurriness, is that a word?

Moving on...
Linking up with Michelle at The Vintage Apple.

2 more days until Friday...

and 4 more school days until Christmas vacation!

Gotta Love that!

Miscellany Monday

Write random and link up.

This weekend I did 4 things...none of which was go to the beach.

More on that later.

{Princess Party}

Addison turned 3 this weekend.

She wasn't feeling so good, but she made such a pretty princess!

I only got one pic of us and she was blinking, but she is too stinkin' cute!

 {Christmas Decor/Crafts}My sister and I had a weekend full of crafting.Christmas tree for the front door.

I bought these cute little case fillers and put them on my desk in my bedroom.

I spray painted some pine cones red and green for this vase on the mantel above the fireplace.

I love how they turned out, but it is really hard to see in the picture.

I LOVE THIS.We painted wooden letters, made these ornaments, and hung them from the ceiling between the kitchen and the living room.FYI.  Great idea if you want to make ornaments with glitter.Buy the clear ornmanents.Pour Pledge Wood Floor Finish (nothing else works that I know of)  into the ornament and swirl it over the entire inside.Pour out excess.Pour glitter in (whatever color you desire).Cover hole and shake it all around.Pour out excessThe finished product is a very glittery ornament that won't lose the glitter over time.(Because the glitter is inside)

Candy Cane wreath...still in the works.

We spent the majority of the day yesterday making these...

Our tree skirts.  I love them!!

And last, but def not least, we now have lights outside.  Thanks to my brother-in-law.

{Coral}

I dropped Coral off at the vet on Friday to be spayed.  They had to keep her overnight.

I almost cried when I dropped her off.

I was soooo excited to pick her up on Saturday.

Riding in the car...

The vet said to try to keep her calm, but that def hasn't happened.

She hasn't slowed down at all.

{Christmas Cards}

I went to the dam in my town to get family portraits made.  By family portraits, I mean pics of me and Coral for my Christmas card.  I designed my card last night and hopefully will order them once I get the rest of my addresses entered.  I like to do it the lazy way and have them sent straight to their recepient.

I saw this great idea of sending Christmas cards to blog friends.  If any of you would like to receive my Christmas card, leave your info in a comment or email it to me.

I would love to send you one.

Moving on to link up #2 with Neely and Amber!

Today's topic is Christmas treat/dessert.

Peanut butter cake is my favorite dessert ever.

But because I am typing this post at 11 PM, I am not going to post the recipe.

If you are interested, email me and I will give it to you.

 Also, I love Rice Krispy Treats anytime!!

Happy Monday lovelies!

Wednesday Loves X3

It's Wednesday which means 3 link ups...OMG!

As usual, I'm linking up with Jamie for WILW.

{VS Fashion Show}

The fashion show was last night and as expected, it was nothing less than amazing!

I look forward to the airing of the fashion show every year and count down the days until it arrives.

I wonder how many times I will watch it in the next month.

I'm not really going to keep count because I'm sure it will be embarrassing.

{Christmas}

I'm loving that we have started learning all about Christmas at school.

I never get sick of Christmas or anything pertaining to the holidays.

Along with teaching about Christmas, we have also started teaching Christmas songs.

Since we no longer have naps in kindergarten, we have started getting together in the hall for music on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  This is such a special time to teach the children traditional holiday songs.

It's so much fun!

 {Beach}I'm loving that I have 1 more day of school and then I am beach bound for the weekend!I am so pumped to spend some time relaxing with friends...hopefully enjoying some nice weather.

{Pinterest}I love it!Link up with THE VINTAGE APPLE

Speechless

So pretty!

 I want this for Coral.

{Fabulous Holiday Blog Challenge}

Today's topic is holiday decorations/decor.
Link up with Neely and Amber!

I love my Christmas tree...I know I have already shared it on here, but there a few new additions.

The VS hat on top, the candy canes, a few of the bigger ball ornaments, and a very special ornament that I got in an ornament blog exchange.

 This is my sister's Christmas tree in the LR.

I know it's a little blurry.

 And this, my friends, is going to be my tree skirt once I get a chance to make it.

Hopefully before Christmas!

HA!

This is my inspiration so I hope I can pull it off.

These are my stocking holders, but I don't have mine and Coral's stockings yet.

Yes, I am buying her a stocking to fill with goodies!

 I hope you all have a lovely day!
