.: scrappy gift + new pillows :.

So many fun FUN things we have been doing lately! So much so, that I have a hard time sitting myself down to type. At the moment I'm sitting here in a hotel with not much else to do (read that RELAXING!!) So I wanted to share these fun things with you...

We disagreed, but I think it worked out anyway...

Do you have this too? Eric and I don't always feel the same about what to put up on the walls in our home. The result: many bare walls. When we remodeled the bathrooms last August, I knew that taking the things off the walls was going to present a problem-- getting them or something new put back on!

Someone got a camera for Christmas... Just thought you might enjoy a look through her lens...

{Last But Not Least}

Really, he was my first...I just hadn't featured his sweet face here yet. His two sisters enjoy being in front of the camera a little more than he does, at this point.

::The 124th Rose Parade::

When we drove home from our Christmas family time, we had 6 hours to think about how we would spend the remaining week of our vacation...I could see the wheels turning in Eric's mind as he drove. At one point he asked whether or not I thought it would be crazy to try to get to the Rose Parade in Pasadena...

Colors and Patterns of the late 1800s

We were treated to a personal tour of an old Mansion today...

:. Catching the Holiday Spirit .:

I'm still trying to figure out where September and October went and suddenly the calendar tells me it's DECEMBER!! I guess I've been around these past few months but it seems they've just flown by. 
In trying to be a little more in the groove of Christmas, we've been a little crafty around here lately...
