december

I can't believe it's December already! This year has flown by. Lot's of things to look forward to this month. Let's go.

-The birth of my nephew! I can officially say he's due this month. I can't wait to meet the little guy!

-The office I work at closes the last week and a half of December. It's awesome.
  
-Burnett/Scott family Christmas! The Burnett clan gets together the weekend before Christmas and it's always a fun time with lots of laughs and good food. Then it's followed by Christmas on my family's side and there's more food involved :)

-ABC Family and Hallmark Christmas movies. Gotta love 'em!

-The whole Christmas season. I love Christmas and getting together for celebrations, but I seriously just love the true reason we celebrate it! I mean, come on-the Savior was born. Pretty awesome.
 
-There's another reason I love December. It's my anniversary month! This month Dan and I celebrate our 2nd anniversary. SO blessed!

Happy December!

decking the halls

I'm a big believer that you can't start anything Christmas related until after you've stuffed yourself with that Thanksgiving turkey. So the other night-after I stuffed myself (again) with some leftovers-Dan and I (meaning Dan) set up the Christmas tree!

We decided to go with a fake Christmas tree this year. Now, I do love the smell of a real Christmas tree and going to pick it out, BUT, after remembering what an absolute pain it was so set up a real one last year, we went to Target and picked one out. And a candle.

I decided to go with some simple, yet festive decorations for this year. Much less messy than garland :)

Love these silver tree trunks from Target.

A little spray paint turns things into a festive piece!

One of my favorite things this year is this glittery reindeer! The tutorial can be found here. My very talented mother actually free handed the reindeer. I'd say it turned out pretty great!

Fa la la la la!

gobble, gobble

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Praise Him from whom all blessings flow. God is so good.

baby shower

Ok. I've dropped the ball on blogging. Oops. I'll try and get better about that...

...on another note-this post is about the celebrating we did last weekend for Baby Scott! Some of Gena's friends and myself threw her a baby shower and it was a success! Here are some highlights of the evening.

The delicious spread!

 

 

Soon to be aunt & uncle!

Mommy to be.

Fun gifts!

I'm so excited to meet my nephew! Next month can't come fast enough!

fun fall.

So I realize that I have not blogged in a few days. Then I couldn't really think of what I would blog about. Then I thought I'd write about the fun things ahead for this lovely fall season!

...in no particular order....

1) The fall weather has finally arrived in Augusta, and I am so loving these cooler days.

2) A fun wedding coming up for college friends! So excited for them and their adventure they're about to start.

3) I do love when the fall comes around and 'my tv shows' start back up. It's my guilty pleasure to come home and catch the new Once Upon A Time (why oh why did Snow and Charming get torn apart again?!) & Revenge (come on Jack!) on Sunday night. Two entirely different realms of drama, but whatevs. And don't get me started on Modern Family. I love that show. I feel like Claire and I are two peas in a pod.

4) Throwing my brother and his wife, Gena, a baby shower! Along with Gena's friends, we've put our heads together to plan a fun time and look forward to celebrating them at a baby shower in November. I can't wait have a nephew!

5) Burnett family Thanksgiving. A few days before Thanksgiving we're headed to Mama and Papa B's to eat some yummy food.  I'm in charge of homemade pumpkin bread!

6) Scott family Thanksgiving. Heading to my parents house on Thanksgiving for even more food and more pumpkin bread :)

7) Ummm. Breaking Dawn Part 2 comes out in a few weeks. Yes I'm 26. And yes, I'm excited. :)

8) One of my best friend's, Katy, has a new blog Single, Party of One. I love when she posts something new because it's pretty amazing. Check it out!

9) Crockpot meals.

10) Candy corn...I've already finished one bag....

hello fall

Oh, how I love the fall. There's just something about the leaves changing, the cooler weather, the smells, the pumpkins, the boots, the scarves! And of course the decorations! I personally like to decorate for the fall as a whole and not just Halloween/Thanksgiving separately. Why? Because then I can leave up my fall decorations for October AND November. Then they'll get put away for Christmas, but that's a whole other department of fun :)

I tend to get overwhelmed when I walk into craft stores so I needed an idea to go off of.  I searched Pinterest (duh) and found some ideas I liked and kind of put them together to form a main idea.  And it's not fall without a cinnamon broom!

Also, massive pumpkin at the market.

Happy Fall!

what a wonderful day

So I haven't blogged in days (or weeks). Oops.

But today was a great day! It's my birthday! And I'm so very blessed with people that made it awesome. I enjoyed every message, phone call, card, text, and cake :) My hubby got me some fun boots, and I received other fun goodies from my awesome family, friends, and coworkers.

So thank you people. I'm so thankful for all of you! I can't wait to see what 26 has in store!
