After our wonderful Thanksgiving at the Binns' house we stole their daughter, Sean's cousin, my cousin-in-law, Miss Julianne, and had a grand ol' time!
PS - be prepared for a lot of pictures. Pictures just make posts more exciting in my opinion.....
First off we started by decorating the house for Christmas!
And of course taking much needed hot chocolate breaks!
Yes, that is real mistletoe. I picked it off of a mistletoe tree in Texas back in.....2007?
I packaged it up and sent it to my sweet Husband who was on a mission at the time :)
No, that wasn't a distraction for him, it was just .... motivation?
The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
Ok - Julianne is not a child, nor is she dreaming......but it works, right?
The next day we woke up and made some biscuits and gravy [for those of you not from the south this is the greatest breakfast in the world. I'll share the recipe sometime soon] for breakfast because Julianne had never had it before! They turned out delicious and she seemed to like it quite a bit! [I do have pictures of this but I refuse to post them because my morning look in my bathrobe is not my most glamorous look - too bad].
Then Julianne went to DI to grab some materials for some crafties for the rest of the day!! I can't exactly say because some of them were Christmas presents! Anyways..... we had such a great time!
Isn't she awesome?
You're just educating everyone on biscuits and gravy this year :)
