Well, I'm echoing Cara... just not feeling in the mood to blog about school related items! I am totally not in teacher mode right now, but will quickly jump back on the boat in the next few days! Lucky me to have this whole week off with my husband! We have been busy decorating and getting ready for Thanksgiving. Since we don't host Thanksgiving at our house, we normally put all our Christmas decor up pretty early! Here are a few shots of my holiday home:
Kitchen Table:
Sofa Table... Joseph is missing his stick :(
Dining Room Table... Christmas Tree theme :)
This is a total work in progress... the thought was to have different names of Jesus in our entryway. So, the Mr. went to Lowes and had them cut wood into different sizes. I used paint, scrapbook paper, and paint pens to start my project. I still have A LOT of work to do on this... need to retouch and fix some of them completely. But, here's a start to that project
The mantle- we don't have children, but we do have 2 very spoiled pups!
Our new Christmas Tree that I am in LOVE with! We bought this at Hobby Lobby after the Christmas season last year on sale!!! SCORE!
The advent calendar that I made. On the backs there are verses to read each day of December:
Hope you are all enjoying your time with your family! I'll be back soon with some school stuff! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
