I love this Christmas Tree.  I got it from Target last year, and all the plates came from New River Pottery.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Lights

Tonight us and the Meeks decided we wanted to ride around and look at Christmas lights.  This used to be something my family did every Christmas Eve.  I love riding around this time of year to see how everyone decorates their houses...tonight didn't disappoint me.

Here is a house in Grimesland.

The house had a circular drive-way.  Brad kept telling me to pull in the drive-way and ride around the house.  I got so tickled because I didn't know if he was being serious.  I kept saying, we can not drive in their yard...sure enough we did.  We got behind a car in the drive-way that wanted everyone to get out of the car to look at the lights...I began to get over stimulated and it got very HOT in the car.

Bryan got so hot, he had to remove his shirt...so silly!

After riding around town for a while, we had a man down!

Hope you all have had a great Friday night.  We sure did!!

Busy Few Days

My busy weekend started early Friday morning.  Friday and Saturday morning, mom and I had a Yard Sale.  We did pretty well.  This picture was first thing Friday, and we didn't have this much when we finished on Saturday.  We weren't able to sell everything, so what we had left, we donated to the Salvation Army.

After the Yard Sale it was time to come home to get ready for our 9th Annual Christmas Party.  Elizabeth and I have hosted a Christmas Party since we were in college.  We love to get all of our friends together during the holidays.  Here are quite a few pictures from the party!

 Saturday Brad and I had a wedding to go to.  It was a beautiful wedding, especially since they had a winter theme, and after the wedding ceremony, it started snowing.  After the wedding, we went home and were lazy.

Hope you all had a great weekend!!
