Drew drew and I actually got done getting everything in place early. I took lots of pictures of the Christmas brunch and crafts, but fail on getting any pics of the guests.  BOOOO!!!  But I think we all had fun!  Especially the Mom's who actually got to sit and chat for a few, because we were sneaky and did it when the big kids were in school!

Xmas shots of the boys

We miss our buddies something Fierce!!!

I love Instagram... but wanna know what, or who I love even more?!  Our buddies who recently moved to SC. Well, by recently I mean a year and a half ago. Where has the time gone!  At least we still get frequent visits from them, here are a few instagrams from our last one!!!!

Say Cheeeeeese!!!!

Before and After

Ok, so Paul and I have been together for 11 years now...so I think it's time we start redoing some rooms. We started off with a bunch of furniture we had in college. Then we slowly bought a few things on a MAJOR budget. My guest room was always random free furniture, bedding from 1999, etc. We are still on a budget, but I was sick of looking at that drab ole room. So a trip to Ikea and I think it looks a little spruced up, no?  Paul helped me make the headboard. So hopefully I will slowly make my way around the house and spruce up the rest. Do you like how the first picture is super messy and extra drab...and the other pics, the room is clean? That's to help exgaggerate the before and after difference!

getting my craft on...

Seeing Santa 2012

The love train!

 

Ok, so Drew looks terrified.... but it's better then last years!!! And even better, we got to spend the morning with the Nevilles!

 

Corn Maze with Meema

I didn't get any great pics of the Corn Maze outting, but fun was had by all!!!  At our last visit to Meema's house, we ventured over to Elkton, Fl for a corn maze which also had a bounce house, hay ride, farm animals, corn popper (a huge trampoline) a sand box filled with corn, and huge slides. The hit of the day for Drew was Miss Piggy the giant pumpkin eating pig, and the huge super fast slides.  Evan loved the hay ride!

Carving Day at St. Lukes

Last week was Daddy's Day at school, they had a Halloween parade, carved pumpkins and had a party. I had to work, booooo, but Paul took a few pics!
