Christmas time!!

My favorite time of the year came to an end yesterday. After work on Christmas Eve, Tyrel and I headed to Corvallis to stay the night at my parents house. We did some Christmas crafts, did some baking and hung out with my adorable little nephew. The next day we woke up early to open present, like we do every year. Santa still shows up at our house, so it's an exciting time.

Pretty happy with all we got and so thankful for everyone who is part of my family. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

I blinked during the nice photo so we had to use his one... lol

Thank you for all the gifts!

Wordless Wednesday: Merry Christmas Eve!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Well my house is officially all decked in Christmas stuff. After recovering from a nasty stomach bug it was nice to get things done this weekend. I'm happy the say the tree is all decorated and the Christmas lights are up! At our new place we had a place to set up Christmas lights outside which I was really excited for, but there is no place to plug them in. Needless to say I was super bummed out. But for now I'm happy with the set up we have now :) begining 

First year using a fake tree

Later that evening and the following day I spent my time watching Bailee's basketball tournament. Unfortunately her team lost all her games, but at least Bailee had fun right? :)

Some Thanksgiving pictures

Thanksgiving #2 and #3 were held yesterday. One in Sweet Home, with Tyrel and his family and the other in Corvallis with my family. Good times were had all around and lots of food was eaten. We brought home so many leftovers we will be fed for a week.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know I did

I almost forgot to mention we did some black Friday shopping this year. We are now happy owners of a ps4!

Making the ps4 made it home safely ;)

Cleaning the new place and a family gathering

This past weekend didn't involve moving anything, or cleaning the old place. Instead it was a weekend where I got to sleep in that didn't involve waking up to an alarm clock. On Saturday I worked on the dinning room. It's not done yet, but it's a start. I'm happy to say that I can at least see the floor now. It's nice being able to walk through the dining room without tripping over stuff

Before...

 

And after!

On Sunday I will admit we did have to wake up early so we could make our way south for a Thanksgiving dinner. Spent some time with Opa and Tyrel's aunt and uncle. We took Oma's ashes to the cemetery and said our final goodbyes.

Afterwards we feasted on delicious food! Such a good weekend. Now I'm just looking forward to the short week and 4 day weekend
