5 on Friday!

Well if you are a regular reader than you know our big news already but   ~ONE~    We bought a house on Monday!  

    ~TWO~ So yesterday was Thanksgiving.  We celebrated with my family in the house I grew up in.  My parents are retiring and moving to Florida in the spring so it was our last Thanksgiving at home.  They built the house before I was born and so it was home for 29 years (even though I haven't actually lived there in 11 years).  Maybe for my 30th Thanksgiving we can host in our new house.  That means I have to figure out how to make a turkey.   I made mac n' cheese, sweet potato casserole, & pecan pie - recipes to come!

 

 

~THREE~
I decorated the new house for Christmas even though we don't live there yet.

  Just the basics so far but there will be more to come.
  ~FOUR~
Eric's mom got us an early Christmas present - furniture for our great room.  We got a couch, oversized chair, and ottoman.  It's being delivered on Tuesday.Currently our couch is so uncomfortable that only Layla Jane will lay on it, needless to say this will be a big improvement.

~FIVE~
We got to spend the night before Thanksgiving with friends visiting from out of town and had a really fun night. Better yet we have even more out of town friends coming on Saturday.
