Christmas Decor

The Christmas decor has been up for the past few days and I am loving it. Pretty much all I want to do in life is sit in my comfy green chair, knit, drink apple cider,  and stare at my Christmas tree. Glorious. Can you guess my favorite part about the first photo below? You have to really look at the photo. Thanks to my parents for this beautiful nativity, we adore it!! Thanks to my aunt for folding us so many incredible ornaments! Thanks to the hubs for breaking down and getting a real Christmas tree, even though it may have not been the best allocation of our resources :) Who doesn't adore the smell of Christmas tree? Alright friends, happy Christmas season!

Thanksgiving

This year, as we were not able to make it home, we decided to host thanksgiving at our house. As Kris and I were discussing whether or not we wanted to host, I said no way because I had absolutely no idea how to make a turkey. Kris agreed to make the turkey, and the pie, so I agreed to make mashed potatoes and make the house cute, we're a good team. Kris cooking his first turkey was a big deal, as you can see in the photos below. Let me tell you, no offense to all the previous cooks in my life, but this was by far the best turkey I've ever had. Kris brined it for 2 days and then stuffed it full of veggies, a-mazing! All in all it was a wonderful day full of delicious food and good friends. In other wonderful news, I'm done with school for the quarter so hopefully you will be hearing a lot more from me. I will post photos of all our Christmas decor soon... I love it!!!
