The beginning of December started out with New furniture for my living room!! I had started to think that after owning our first furniture set for 9 years and only spending like 200 dollars on it. It was time for some new stuff. But looking at what it would cost there was NO WAY the hubs was going to go for it. He can be a frugal man....So I tried to put the bug in his ear, and got the reaction that I expected. So when we went black friday shopping he shocked me when he asked if I wanted to check out this furniture sale at furniture row. SOLD! My man CAN NOT turn down a good deal. They threw in a free 51 inch TV!! SOLD! So the first week of december I worked a loooonnnngg shift at work and came home to NEW furniture!! YIPPPEEE. I of course had to get my christmas decorations up to show case it! :)
Third week of December, bring on the Christmas PARTIES!!!!!! My first one was my work christmas party always a good time with some pretty crazy ladies!! We hosted our small groups christmas party. Complete with ugly christmas sweaters, fun games, good food and great friends what a blast it was!! And then the next night I had 23!!! yes 23!!! teenagers in my home for the youth group christmas party. With the typical crazy white elephant gift exchange! you would not believe what teenagers fight over as a gift. The popular ones this year was a spiderman shirt and zebra slippers?? Good times I tell you and then I ended it with another christmas party with my cheerleaders. Thankfully I did not have to plan that one.
Next was Luke and I's 9 year anniversary!! 9 YEARS people!! I can't believe it. Where did the time go. A dear friend of mine offered to watch Ashton ALL day for us with one stipulation, we had to spend the ENTIRE day together so no running errands etc. So we dropped Ashton off and then Luke drove me to my favorite flower shop. There he a beautiful arrangement waiting for me!! We then went christmas shopping for Ashton. Luke bought me a dress and earrings to wear on Christmas. We then grabbed lunch at the brick house. Did some decor shopping picked out our future dinning room table and decided to take advantage of our nice quite house and picked up dinner and rented a movie!! It was so relaxing and such an awesome day!
CHRISTMAS!!
We had all of my family over after the christmas eve service and opened gifts with my nephews and nieces. Ate WAY TOO much food and enjoyed a Christmas Story. The next morning we let Ashton open his christmas stocking and then we bundled up and headed over to my parents house to open up more gifts and enjoy a good ham dinner. It was such a relaxing day!
