Phew!

I sure did enjoy Thanksgiving week
but I am so glad it's over.
Am I the only one who stresses out over the Holidays???

My Turkey didn't finish cooking on time so we sliced it up and threw it on the grill.
It was soooo yummy but also a wrench in the Stuff Your Face schedule.

The appetizers.....ohh the appetizers....
They were my favorite food item of the day!
I highly recommend the Caprese Skewers and Cranberry Salsa.
In fact, I'm def putting those on the Christmas menu.

I spent most of the week working on Stacey's crib bedding
Almost done and cutting it close!
More pictures soon.


Vanessa's bumper pad tutorial is awesome!
I've made a whole LOTTA bumpers in my time
but I am really enjoying this particular pattern!

And when I wasn't sewing I was putting out my Christmas 
and hanging out with my crew.


Why is it so hard to get a great picture of your Christmas Tree?


Different angle perhaps? No?


This year we have a new tree, skinnier and taller!
And it's flocked, yay!
I have always wanted a flocked tree.
I'm pretty sure my hubs doesn't love it, but he's not sayin'

Once we got all of the ornaments on the kids decided
that it was overwhelmingly RED!
They, then, informed me that we needed Turquoise.
So we headed out among the Black Friday mess and found some turquoise.

Other than that, we spent the weekend in watching all 
of the episodes of Once Upon a Time as a family.

I hope you all had a great weekend too!
