Christmas Trees

I think this is the first year that I've actually been proud of my Christmas tree! Last Christmas I asked my mom for new ornaments - much needed new ornaments, mind you. You can imagine my excitement after waiting an entire year when I finally got to use them! The first pic is with Miss Marley. She follows me step for step and was so "involved" in the entire process that I just had to get her to pose with the tree. Little sidenote about Marley: I was not thrilled when Matt decided to get her in October of last year. I've never been around big dogs and she was already BIG at nine months when we adopted her. It's taken over a year (I know that's awful, but it's true) for me to finally feel like she's part of our family. She's getting out of her puppy stage and is finally adjusting to us, as we are to her. I guess it helps that she is spoiled rotten and now likes to lounge around the house waaaay more than she used to!

The next pic is a tad different b/c I wanted to add a little something coming out of the top. I think I still want other things on top, but overall I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I also included my mother-in-law's two trees - I thought she did a great job. Once my mom gets hers put up, I'll have to post it, too. She's so creative and has such great taste, but hasn't put it up yet b/c she's getting new hardwoods! WooHoo!

Thanksgiving weekend

I have been doing such a poor job of updating this blog. I need to do better, but can't make any promises! We had such a great Thanksgiving holiday. Every year, we drive to El Dorado for lunch with my mom's family. I wish I would have gotten a picture! After a short visit, we head back down south for dinner with Matt's family. I enjoy family time so much!

The Friday after Thanksgiving was the big play-off game between Cabot and Springdale Har-Ber. We dressed the part and had such a great time, but unfortunately, Cabot lost in the last SECONDS of the game! Boo! At least we got a couple of cute pictures!

Hayden always manages to get sideline pictures with Mascots!

Watson family

Saturday night we went over to Brad and Tina's to watch the Hogs play LSU. What a great game, too bad we lost! UGH! Let me just say that I feel so fortunate to have such great friends. We always have the absolute best time! I've told myself, the next time we get together, I'm getting a picture of ALL of US! Group photo!


These pictures are just too cute not to post. The thing that got me started (obsessed) with reading other people's blogs were pictures of their cute kiddos. I can't wait to be able to upload a picture of my baby - one of these days. But until then, here's some adorable pics of Hayden, along with our friend's precious kids.

Who can resist sleeping kids???

Future love connection? Like in TEN years!

My dad with Baylee-isn't she precious and his dog Gracie. He's so good with kids! Can't wait to give him a grandbaby one of these days!
