Christmas Season 2014 So Far...

Sorry, I have fallen so far behind in blogging, y'all. I hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas season so far. I know ours has already kept us busy, but that is just part of its charm, right?

As promised, here are some more Christmas pictures from our home, and a little of what we have been up to around here!

This our living room...

Yes, the stockings have already been filled. As my mother noted, we truly work off of an honor system in this house.

In the kitchen, I went for a 50s theme. A little white tinsel garland and some red and blue balls matched my new Hobby Lobby décor with my already red kitchen.

Last Sunday, we decided on a whim to make our annual Natchitoches Christmas Lights trip! I grew up with this road trip (more than once a year when I was younger, actually). To share this with Justin is amazing.

Yesterday, after a short visit with my family and some fun with Christmas pictures, we made our annual trip to Marshall, Texas for Christmas lights. It was a little too crowded to get ALL of the pictures we wanted, but we did get a few and Justin got to see the skating rink.(Note: The latter is NOT a common site down here in the south.)

Oh, and before I forget, we managed to finish our Christmas pictures a few weeks ago! I love sending Christmas cards. I grew up watching my mother, filled with pride, plan and make our Christmas cards every year. She never forgot anyone, never gave up even as time went on and we received fewer and fewer. Now I not only watch her, but I get to enjoy making and sending our own.

Sweet husband was very patient this year, dressing in his uncomfortable dress shoes and running back and forth from the camera across the room. Still, this was his reaction when I finally said we were through. Have to love him!

Anyway, this is just a short update of our Christmas season thus far. What have you and your loved ones been up to? Baked any Christmas goodies yet?
