Our house & Christmas

Before I show you pics of our house...this is how we found Precious the other day...she found her way inside one of my fleece shirts and was sleeping!!

Anywho...Wesley and I have lived in our first house for over a year and I don't think I've ever showed pictures!!!! We do love our house..it's old...built in 1918 or something crazy like that. It has lots of character..all hardwood floors, glass french doors and built in bookshelves. We love our house.

A few of our favorite places are the screened in porch (above) and relaxing on the hammock and enjoying the fire pit on a cold night!

Here are some pictures of the inside of the house. First is our bedroom.....the cat followed me as I was taking pictures so she might be in a lot of these...

This is our sunroom....lots of windows....we spend a lot of time in this room! Coffee in the mornings while checking email and just relaxing with friends. Love it! This is our kitchen...nice and spacious!

This is the used to be 'dark blue' room that after a year we got to repaint! now it's Seaside Villa paint and very crisp and clean feeling! I love the way the sun comes in this room!

This is the door that leads upstairs...there are 2 huge bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs. We don't use them unless guests are here...one is for storage. But it's really cute..complete with a reading nook. Didn't take pics of it though....use your imagination:)

Here are some pictures of the livingroom that I just took so they are a bit Christmasy!

Our Christmas tree! We just love the way it sparkles!

Wes loves the(mostly his) office...it's a big room with lots of windows...it's his favorite room.

We just repainted the guest bathroom and love the results. It's painted a charcoal dark grey and everything else is bright white! It looks so beautiful! By the way, Precious likes to try to eat our fake plants...she liked this one temporarily planted in the bathroom. . . . So I dared Wes to try our cats food..just one piece and if he ate it and swollowed it without any drink then I would give him $10. I didn't think he would do it...but he did....turned out he wanted something on Itunes for $10 so the dare was worth it! What a man I'm married to!!!!!!

We celebrated our Christmas together on Sunday and Wes got me Mikimoto pearl earrings...I was so excited....I surprised Wes by putting an IPod connection into his 4Runner. We had a blast...and Precious liked her presents too...catnip filled candy canes:) Merry Christmas everyone!!! In one day we are off on a road trip to Missouri, Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina! Here we come!

Thanksgiving in Waco

Well this was our first year to celebrate Thanksgiving at our home in Waco! It was fun learning how to cook homemade stuffing and mashed potatoes and sweet potatoe casserole (thanks to my mother in law!) We were so blessed to have our cousins, Andrea and Kellie to come stay with us and celebrate Thanksgiving together! We had a blast...late nights playing cards and The Office Trivia game! Not to mention eating Indian and taking them on a tour of the Wiley Lights Tour (we hang Xmas lights for the Holiday...more to blog on that once I get pictures!) Anywho..here are some pics from our fun time of going to a Christmas Tree Farm (even though we got our tree at HEB)...

Dewberry Farm

We spent our last day in the Woodlands at Dewberry Farm, west of Katy, Texas! This place was a sight to see. They had a huge corn maze, pick your own pumpkins, and more than I could imagine for the kids! Beth has always wanted to go to a pick your own pumpkin patch so this was very exciting! Here's a few pics from our day! We got a beautiful pumpkin and had a great time racing to see who get get through the corn maze first! There is a birds eye view of the corn maze below! It was a lot of fun!!
