Learning

Wow! This has not been an easy post. It's supposed to be fun. You know, pictures of holiday decorations in the new house, but it has been anything but. I have started this post at least four times and each time I have to start all over. Not sure why I am having so many computer issues. So, "Better Late Than Never" is what I should have titled this post. But, I am also learning new ways to make this work. I am determined! Here are some pictures of the decorations in the house.

The first is just a picture of our table before our "Fakesgiving" dinner party. It was a fun night with food and friends. I was especially excited about decorating the table.

Don't tell Bryan, but the railings at our new house were a huge sell for me. He hates it that I was looking for houses based on good Christmas decorating. It is so fun to come home to all the lights INSIDE the house.

This is the tree in our kitchen. It's kinda hard to see in the picture but it has apples and pears on it as well as gingerbread cookies and cookie cutters. It's the perfect size for the corner of the kitchen.

The tree in the family room is a bit too small for this big room. It is really miniture looking in here so we are hoping to get a good deal on a WAY bigger tree after Christmas.

And last but not least is the Mizzou tree. This is in the front room of the house and you can see it from the street. It has all of our black and gold ornaments and it keeps Claire company while she's in her kennel.

We had a great trip to Kansas City for Thanksgiving and enjoying spending time with family. We were really busy but truly enjoyed our trip. It was quite different and I even asked my parents if I had come home to the right house. For one, my WHOLE family did the Parkville Turkey Trot early on Thanksgiving morning. Then, we had family pictures taken for the first time in my life (other than the wedding). The last part that really threw me for a loop was that the car was in the garage. That NEVER happens.
