We've been busy around here but of course who isn't! Here are pics from SOME of the things we've been up to. :o)
We are doing Mac's 12th bday party at Waco Wonderland. She invited some friends and the girls are going to ice skate and watch Elf. I'm really excited!!! I think this might be the easiest party I've planned...ever. I'm buying the cupcakes(haven't done that since she was 3) then I'm making hotdogs, popcorn and putting it all in a bag. When we got sit down for the movie I will just pass out the bags and they can eat and watch the movie. The invite is a coffee cup with hot chocolate inside and a chocolate covered peppermint spoon.
Easiest and super yummy pecan pie!!! Pioneer Woman is my all time favorite, I want to be her when I grow up!!!
The kids table.
Mille and Mac made the "I'm thankful for" utensil holders.
Some of the food I made, my kitchen was full!! I made homemade dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes in hollowed out oranges with marshmallow topping and pecan brown sugar(pioneer woman again, first time to make it and everybody LOVED it!!)topping, homemade cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, pumpkin cheesecake and pecan pie x's 2! Oh and 32 rolls!!! I was a busy chef Tuesday and Wednesday but it was so worth it. Craig said it was the best Thanksgiving he's had in 39 years. He said the food was the best he's ever had and that is HUGE b/c I used his MiMi's recipes and my gosh they are good!!!
Adult table, Mille made all of the name tags for us.
My birch stick I got in Canton. I think I'm going to hang christmas cards from it now.
Formal Living Room
Dessert and bar
My dad and sister loved this, I didn't like the wine I used but it was gorgeous!!! Pinterest recipe
Our Elf has arrived! Here he is having a sack race with Mille's toys. Silly Twingle
Balloon characters from Gaylord Texan. We went and saw Nutcracker ICE. We waited in line for an hour for these balloons. I plan on taking pics of them everyday, I figured when you wait for that long you need to give them love.

Our advent calendar and my cute silver deer, I love him!!! Advent calendar says hot chocolate and pancakes tonight(wish I would have changed that)
All of our Christmas books in my old dish rack.
The pet's stockings. We still have Gracie's up, we are going to buy cat toys for Fuzzy Friends.
I LOVE Nutcrackers.
I have no idea what happened to one of my nutcrackers, he lost his shine!!
Tree, the girls helped me this year with everything!!!! It was awesome. They hung all of their ornaments which is about 20 for Mille and 28 for Mac(we give them 2 a year so they'll have a great start when they have their own tree!)
My topper!
Now I need to go cook pancakes!!! Craig and I aren't doing pancakes we are going to have a wine tasting! Yummy, Merlot tonight.
