Happy Holidays

Do you feel like this Christmas has been a whirlwind? I do! As soon as I finished Christmas shopping it was traveling time and then Santa came and now its time to ring in a new year. 

I wanted to share some highlights from our Holiday...(warning: picture overload)

Our Christmas Cards

Here are some bits from our house...

 I was so excited to score this wrapping paper from TJ Maxx

 I bought fresh garland at Home Depot this year to display my christmas cards 

 More christmas cards and a cute nativity scene my friend gave me

 Our new ornaments from this years travels..

 New Orleans

 and Key West

 and now we will add Blue Booties to the tree for baby Boy Hill!

Of course I have to share one of Reese and Santa...doesnt she look so sweet

A couple shots from our time with family

 Wade got a framed picture of Uncle Hubert in the christmas swap...hilarious!

 Aren't they cute?

We had a wonderful break with family and friends. Sorry for all the photos! 

Hope your Christmas was wonderful! 

Christmas at the Gardens

This past weekend Wesley's family came to visit. We went to the Botanical Gardens for the light show. Once the rain stopped it was a perfect night to walk through the gardens. 

 These things were pretty cool; they lit up to music.

Wade & Kate...almost wedding time!

 Whitney & Joe

This would be really fun for kids, they had a fire pit for making smores. Yumm! 

After our little tour we had a wonderful dinner at Einsteins, followed by brunch Sunday morning at Treehouse. A weekend filled with family and food! 

On another note today marks 17 weeks preggo! I can't believe it! I am still feeling better and starting to eat a little meat. Weird, what you decide you can't bear to eat during pregnancy. I will find out what we are having soon. Im so ready! 

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

It's no surprise that I LOVE neutral spaces. 

I thought I would share some of my favorite neutral Christmas looks this year.

Even without the red, it still looks like christmas..I love the garland around the doors

Even though there is so much fabulousness going on in this kitchen,
the simplicity of the garland is just enough.

Just a touch of green peeking out here

Oh christmas tree, Oh christmas tree...

I hope one day to give everyone their own little galvanized bucket of gifts. 

These DIY ornaments would be a great addition

 

again, nothing gets me like fresh garland

Burlap stockings look just as beautiful

I love this setting. Antiqued Mirror, lights, mercury glass...

and of course here is how you would wrap your presents if your house looked like this

Aren't these photos just beautiful? ahhh...just dreaming!

I'm Baaaack!

No I have not been living under a rock or gone into hiding. I know these past two months I have not been keeping up with my blog but I promise I have a good excuse...

We are having a BABY!

Wesley and I are so excited to welcome another member to our family. I am almost 16 weeks, for all my non-preggo friends that means 4 months. I would love to tell you I am glowing and its been a breeze, but not so much the case with this gal. I have been sick as a dog! I spent all most of October in my bed. Everything seemed to make it worse, even looking at the computer...hence why I haven't been blogging. I tried everything... ginger ale, ginger hard candy, Rx medicine, wristbands for seasickness. Nothing was helping! 

We told my family when we went to charlotte to visit my sister. I made T-shirts for Brecken & Jack that said I'm Gonna Be A Cousin! They were all thrilled! 

Then I told my friends at dinner with a box of cupcakes. They were shocked! 

Wesley told all of his friends at the Auburn vs. Georgia tailgate with a cookie cake. We had it done by Publix, and to say it was a disaster is an understatement. All we could do was laugh at that point and hope everyone got the point. Can you believe someone professional gave this to us?

Told you...DISASTER! Our friends are so excited to meet Baby Hill. 

The nausea is getting better and better everyday now and I could not be happier! I hope it is gone forever soon!

Hopefully now I can get back to blogging and keeping you updated on our pregnancy process!
