New Year, New Room, No Cost Makeover!!

We are blessed to have such a huge living room that I can change up alot... after living in our home for 3 yrs it has been tricky to really find a good way to arrange it. One night Henry was pulling an all nighter so Steve and I rearranged the living room, added bookshelves we already had in storage, moved the TV (AGAIN), and my sweet honey was so patient with my little decorating ideas... I love to make changes (must be the Gemini in me). Lacy come over the next day and helped me really finish the final touches, she has great decorating ideas and we love it!!! It feels like something you would see in a catalog, Did I mention we love it!! It's not Pottery Barn or Southern Living but it feels like a warm cozy living room to us. It was fun doing a living room makeover for FREE!!!

CHRISTmas in the White House...

This christmas has been so special. Words just can't express our gratitude to those that have served our family in such loving and caring way. Our family has been blessed in ways we never imagined. The Lord is so mindful of our family and used others as his hands. We had tears of joy, it is such a peaceful feeling when other do for you and you know they are an answer to a prayer. Our hearts are full, we truly are so greatful.

Christmas Eve we had Alicia's dad, his wife and her daughter Amber over for some christmas cheer, dinner and read the nativity story. Hunter had fun opening some gifts and giving the "reindeer" some food - oh we can't forget the cookies and milk for santa! Then off to bed waiting for santa to come.

Christmas day was blissful for Hunter, he got some fun items that he wanted. He was a happy little boy. It is always so fun to see his excitment in his eyes.
Later on that day we had Christmas dinner with the Towers family, joining in on the fun was The Valentine Family and Mr. Kesling. Dinner was fabulous, the company was great, chatting, laughing, a cozy bondfire and "death by Chocolate" dessert! Thanks Adam and Lauren for hosting the best christmas dinner. It was the perfect christmas!
