Kelley Christmas































We had a great time celebrating Christmas up in Pilot Mountain with my family!

We drove up Friday night... late Friday night... to visit my Mom at work at the Hospital.  We surprised her! :) ...we ended up staying there and visiting with her until about 3:30 am (I haven't seen 3:30 am in a looong time!) Then we decided Steak & Shake was the right thing to do on the way home before hitting hay until noon the next day!

We spent the rest of the weekend in Pilot Mountain and had a great time together!
We did all our normal Christmas traditions: Christmas eve dinner, Christmas eve presents, Christmas morning stockings & presents for the kids, Christmas morning breakfast casserole, a huge Christmas day meal, Christmas family pictures in front of the mountain (of course), and then to end all the craziness... Jill's birthday celebration!

and to top it all off... we even went shopping ALL day the day after Christmas!  Exchanging stuff and spending the rest of our Christmas money... it was an eventful weekend! (I am so proud of my husband for making it through a whole day of shopping... thank goodness my dad was there to look at "manly stuff" with him)

I love spending time with family and am so thankful for the amazing family that I have!

Christmas, Christmas!


December is here and Christmas is getting closer and closer by the day!

I hope everyone is enjoying shopping, decorating, getting together with friends & family, 
but most importantly... remembering that Jesus is the reason for the season!

William and I are loving how cozy our decorated apartment feels... it definitely feels more like
 home with all the christmas ornaments, smells, lights, candles, christmas music and stockings!

'tis the season


This year William and I are celebrating our first Christmas together as a married couple 
so...
I am in EXTRA Christmas spirit!! 

I am super super excited and I even made homemade Christmas ornaments for our tree!

Our "Rustic" Christmas tree came together quite nicely
and I'd say that it isn't too shabby for us "first timers"
