Can I tell you how mad I am at myself! Real Mad!!! I totally didn't take any pictures from Thanksgiving......BLAST! Mom, Dad, and Andrew came down and we had a great time. Lots and lots of New Mexican food and most of our tummies paid a price:) Things we did: Tamales from El Modelo, great Thanksgiving meal, Hunger Games 3 with front row seats (oh not so lucky), fishing at Cochiti, Black Friday shopping, setting up Christmas, lots of movies, and plenty of games. So very happy that those 3 were able to come down. And as always..... just sob as they leave. Good thing Christmas is around the corner:)
A BIG HUGE THANKS to mom for helping to set up our Christmas and for the many trips to Wal-Mart:)
Our little tree downstairs in the family room. Per Ty's request we will be hanging fishing lures on it. We also put some basketball ornaments on it.
Last year at Hobby Lobby I found this garland and scored big on it. I got it in anticipation that we would get our house. SO glad we have it. Anywho so the garland is on the rail between the kitchen and family room.
Our little nativity set. Now just imagine the candles glowing. Got those beauties from Costco like 2.5 years ago, flameless and run on batteries, score!
Our stockings along with more candles. They are so pretty when they glow at night.
Much to my fathers dismass we have only white lights on our tree.....sorry dad. Along with those white lights are silver ornaments and these red berry things that I also got on clearance from Hobby Lobby.
Love me some Christmas
Also in way of news, we had our support beam replaced on the front porch. We knew this needed to be done sooner than later. So glad we did! You can see how rotten the poor thing is. Glad we did it too before the roof came down.
Some guys came and put up a huge metal beam in it's place. The beam had a brown primer on it and we liked the color, so we went to our local Home Depot and got the same color to pain on it so it wouldn't rust. Ty did a super job with his mad painting skills. YAY one more project done on our house..... now how many more?:)
PS- we are so happy that we invested in this ladder.... that is all.

Good job on the painting Ty. Looks like Laura helped out tons.
Oh man! White lights or not, I loved your tree! The red berries help it look more traditional than it would without....you have now given me anxiety on our support beam for our deck....more anxiety that is. Thanks a lot. :) three weeks baby! See ya soon!
Your home just looks so festive - good job!
So fun! It sounds like you had a fun visit. Can't quite imagine tamales for Thanksgiving, but I'm sure it was awesome! Did you just buy a house then?
Hey ya Jenna. Ya we moved into our home in March.... just the lovely house maintenance list keeps going on and on and on:) The Tamales we had just for a New Mexican treat. We had the turkey and the usual stuff for Thanksgiving. They do however have Tamales for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day as tradition down here. So so so good!
Yes mom I helped lots with the painting....can you see me up there that high....HECK NO! Sweet cheeks did a great job:)
I was anticipating belly pics!!! Baby update! Baby update!
LOVE your house and your tree. I love how everything is so clean.
Your house is gorgeous and I love the decorations! I've been thinking about you and little baby! I hope all is going well and that you had a great Christmas!! :) :)
