Fiesta Celebration for my SIS!

Today was a special day. My Daddy asked me & Avery to lunch & we just had the perfect day! We picked up Ave from school & headed out. Him & Avery had fun together trying to win a ball; all to make her happy, hehe!

{Don't you just love her green mouth from the fruit roll up}



Seriously one of my bestest friends in the world!


Ave wanted in on the pic too!


Mom stopped by after work to visit so I had to snap a picture of them.  I love my parents SO much!


This week I finished my breakfast room tree!  It turned out so pretty! Last year I did purple but Chad hated it so I added green & silver!

I have finished most of the decor through my house but will do another post on that after Thanksgiving!  I love this little look in my Kitchen!


So we have 4 days until my nephew arrives!  I can hardly stand it!  Im on cloud 9 as I count down each day.  Im already a basket case & can't sleep most nights dreaming about how perfect he is going to be.  I have waited for this day for YEARS!  My brother & his wife have been married for 9 years.  God truly blessed them this year with what they have been waiting for their entire lives!  I am extremely close to my brother & his wife.  She is the girl that taught me to drive, to do my make-up, helped me with boys, was there when Chad proposed, etc.. they are 2 very special people in my life so this birth is VERY special to me! =)

So tonight we had a "last" girls "fiesta" dinner for her before Hudson arrives.  We enjoyed Mexican galore! 


It's hard to believe she is 9 months pregnant! She looks FABULOUS & has only gained a "few" pounds. 


Tiff invited alot of her close friends & family!



I love her so much.  She is one of my bestest friends in the world!


And guess what?  Little secret....

Her sister is pregnant too!!!!  15 weeks & everything is going great!!!!  

{More posts on this to come}. . .


Im so lucky to have great family; especially girls that love being together & get along so perfectly!


Blessed, blessed & more blessed! I have been saying things I am thankful for the month of Novemeber & today I am so thankful for true REAL people in my lives that make a difference everyday.  These girls love Christ, love their familes, love each other & know how to make the most important things in life really count.  I couldn't ask for a better group of family members!  THANKFUL...!

OH Christmas Tree

Last Thursday I enjoyed a nice girls night with my sister in laws, our daughters, & my Mom & Mother in- law.  We had a nice soup & salad at my sister in law's new place!  The girls ran wild while we all enjoyed catching up & enjoying each other's company! 

Avery was so fun before we left trying to help me clean!  She looks like a big girl!

{These pics are on my phone}

My 2 sister in law's!


Avery has been a stinker getting into everything around our house!  I cleaned up a lot of messes last week!



She has been loving going to school & feeling like a big girl lately.  She sings so many new songs.  Her newest favorite is, "Deep & Wide"!  Melts my heart!


Friday night I put up our Christmas tree!  It is my favorite thing out of the year to do.  I have SO much more to do that I can't see straight it almost makes my head hurt- HAHA!  But here are some fun things I have started, I have a all next week to finish & will post pictures!




My dining room isn't complete.  I still have candles to put out on the table & a few other cuties to add to the place settings.


I love my little lantern as you enter my master bedroom.  I had to glamour it up too!


Besides doing a little decorating we made it to the HOG game on Saturday for the last home game.  It was cold so we just had a quick tailgate & enjoyed the game!

Sunday we enjoyed going out with Avery & taking a few fall pictures. The day was beautiful so we just had so much fun playing in the leaves!














This is the last week until my baby nephew is born! We are so excited!!!!

Family Christmas Tree Decorating!

I have been busy the past few days helping family get their Christmas goodies up.  Since my sister in law is due to have her baby boy in just 2 weeks, we wanted to make sure that her Christmas was up before Thanksgiving & his arrival so that she can just relax & enjoy being with him!

So over this past weekend her Mom & Dad were in town, her sister came over, along with her best friend & my Momma & we all enjoyed eating breakfast & having coffee with peppermint creamer!   Oh, & of course enjoyed our Christmas tunes!!! 

This was one of Tiffany's tree's that I did in her dining room.  It's her peacock tree!


We did her main tree in the living room area all in red & green.  There are so many fun goodies hanging out of this tree.  One of my favorites is the ribbon we put throughout the tree of green & red polka dot swirls!



{Keep in mind these pictures aren't very clear because they are off my cell phone}

On to my Mom's tree!  She also does green & red!  We had a fun time putting her tree up yesterday & working on the mantle as well. We are finishing the mantle this evening.  Her tree is just always so beautiful, I love the shape of it!


We added a stripe ribbon throughout her tree & I am using the same ribbon on my tree this year!


Besides being in the Christmas spirit with family, I have been busy working on a few projects for my baby nephew's arrival!  How cute are these shirts that Avery will be wearing on the day of his birth?  I can't wait to dress Hudson up too for pictures that day, they will be sweet cousins! =)

I went with with the Houndstooth print, red & turquoise because it completely goes with baby Hudson's nursery!  It's ALMOST complete so I will post pictures next week.  It's totally a "Pinterest" nursery I can  hardly stand it!

My awesome friend Brenda that is super talented made these & came up with the actual design/layout! I can't wait to do a post on her!!  She is so talented!

Video of Avery/Toy Event/GNO!

Friday night was a fun Toy Event at our local square.  We love anything at our square in town.  It's always so festive & there is always so many fun things to do with family & friends.  Avery enjoyed walking around, seeing spongebob, listening to music, riding a pony & playing games!


This is our cousin Jarod who works for a toy supplier.  He had fun with Ave playing!






She is really into "princesses" these days... and loved this booth!


Saturday was the HOG game!  Several of us girls always tailgate together but decided to skip this game & instead enjoy a night out to dinner & on the town!  We laughed until our bellies hurt all night long!!!






Can't beat a nacho stand!



And finally, Avery was in the car yesterday cracking us up! My Mom & I had just been doing a little shopping & I am assuming after the millions of suckers & everything else we gave her to keep her happy during the shopping trip, is what fired her up to be so hyper!  This video just makes me roll in the floor laughing! 

{Wow my voice sounds hilarious, way deeper than usual- I hate being recorded} HA!

ENJOY!


Im ready for a fun week!  My nephew will be here in 2 weeks!  I have some adorabe outfits being made for his big day!!!
