Christmastime

Well it's been forever since I have updated our blog..from the busyness of moving in and getting settled to the craziness of the holidays, it has been quite a few months! phew! Here are a few pictures from the holidays! :)



TL did a lovely job of putting up Christmas lights... a little more Griswold-esque than I had in mind, but very festive none-the-less :)







Picking out our Christmas tree!



TL's parents helped us get our tree! That's us with TL's mom, Susan, and stepdad, Roger :)






It has brightened our living room for the last month...










Goldie tragically doesn't really care about Christmas decorating...










One of my favorite things to put out each year... jolly Mr. & Mrs. Clause






Christmas decor on our green cupboard in the kitchen...



Arrangement my dad did for us... very creative!



Our new antique piano..it's my dream piano :) We bought it from a family who lives in an beautiful historic home in north Knoxville...after some work and tuning, its the perfect piano for us!



Below is the large brick wall in our den off the kitchen that was transformed last week...so this is before:





And this is after!!! :) It totally changed the feel of the room and makes the hugest difference! We are so thrilled!!





Our new coffee table made from old wood...a Christmas gift from my parents!










My favorite kitchen sink in the world :)













Hayley and I made a gingerbread house on Christmas Eve.. a tradition I am loving













Ta da!


A few pictures from Christmas morning at my parents house:



Stockings! And Callie, our reeeally old calico kitty :) She's not really that old..16probably..but its a joke in our family



Everybody was excited about TL's Keurig coffee maker!



Emma was very interested in everything Buddy opened :)

I got a garden sign for my daisies that will someday bloom in our yard :)
