The beginning of last week, Mitch and I both had to work Monday and Tuesday, then we were off for the week! Wednesday, I had to make a trip to Tulsa that morning to get some stuff done and later that night we celebrated Mitch's dads birthday/thanksgiving with his family.
I also officially finished up decorating our house. Well at least with all the decor I have. I am alway looking for more.. you can never have enough Christmas decorations!
My mantel
I got new stocking holders this year and I really like them!
This is a horrible picture, but we got an Arkansas tree and it really looks a lot better in person. Now I just have to do my OSU one!
Last weekend when we went to Tulsa, we helped my mom decorate her house and she got all new stuff for her mantel this year and I am in love with it. I think I may have to do this next year! Hobby Lobby always has great Christmas sales after Christmas, so I am going to have to go stock up!
It has a lodge feel and I love that! My dream house is to live in a lodge/log cabin one day! I just love the feel of it and how homey it is! I actually found this idea on pinterest and it turned out pretty good in my parents house!
On Wednesday night, we started to cook our stuff for thanksgiving.
We were suppose to bring mashed potatoes (which I will have to give you the recipe, they were amazing), broccoli-rice casserole, rolls, and salad. Mitch also wanted to make a pecan pie, we had never made one before so we were a little nervous, but it turned out so good!
I found this recipe off pinterest as well. It didn't turn out very pretty, but it sure tasted good!
All day Thursday, we went to my aunts house here in Bentonville and I never get to see the family that comes in but once a year on thanksgiving, so I always look forward to seeing them.
Mitch was scheduled to work thanksgiving day, but a girl wanted to switch with him, so he got the day off! I was so excited. He also went in Friday morning, but got sent home right when he got there! We were so happy! So we spent all day back at my aunts house before everyone had to leave. We also watched the game, which was so sad! I was really hoping for a win!
Saturday Mitch actually had to work, and since we had been so busy the past few days I was exhausted. Bella and I stayed in all day and watched movies. It was a much needed lazy day! That night when Mitch got home, we had his dad come over and take some Christmas pics of us to hopefully go on our Christmas card. I haven't seen them yet, but I am hoping Bella did okay. She was a mess last night. Here is a preview of her before we stared the pics.
She is the sweetest dog!
We even managed to get her bows in her hair for a few of the pics! I hope they turned out good!
After our pics, Mitch took me out to Dinner. He surprised me and took me to Copelands! It was so good!!
Today, he is working and I am once again having a lazy day. It is freezing outside, so we will most likely stay in and watch more movies. Last day to relax before work tomorrow :(
Have a great Sunday!
