Oh Christmas Tree!

We put up the tree yesterday! Yay!! 

What do you guys think?? 

I'm excited for Christmas  to get here we are doing secret Santa with my family and also David's family. First year my family does this so we shall see how it turns out! We don't have any plans for New Years we use to always go to church but I think this year we are going to stay home and enjoy family time. Pop fire crackers, eat, play games.... 

After Xmas and NY we start to get into shape for my brothers wedding! I'm super excited for him and his wife to be. She has really made him into a better person. 2014 is going to be a busy year I can just feel it. Have a blessed day loves!

Her Room

We finally finished Layla's room this weekend after almost 4 months. My mother-in-law bought us the crib from Burlington Coat Factory and my sister-in-law bought us the bedding from Wal Mart. We got the letters from Hobby Lobby. I still have a couple more things I want to do. Hang up some pictures, change the curtains, get a rocking chair or any kind of cool chair. Complete room pictures coming soon :)
