The Perfect Tree

While we spent our first Christmas in Texas last year, this was our first Christmas season. Last year we bought a Christmas tree a few days before Christmas in front of Kroger and never took the tree out of the plastic pot it came in! We just leaned it up against the wall, decorated it and called it good!
This year we wanted to get a nice tree, with an actually tree stand with an angel on top and a tree skirt. Although I hated taking our thankful tree down this was the perfect trade off. The beginning of December and the excitement of the season is just the absolute best. 


Because it's more humid here the tree stays really fresh. It looked great all the way up until Christmas. We got the kids their own ornament box to store all their ornaments and they really look forward to seeing their ornaments again and putting them up on the tree. So many memories packed on that tree and the sparkle from the lights just adds something special all season long.

Happy New Year!

 We thought we’d bring some new energy to 2021 by completely tearing our house apart and getting our carpets cleaned. The cleaners were scheduled for December 30th, so we pulled everything out of bedrooms and gave the walls and baseboards a good scrub. In order to allow the carpets time to dry we didn’t want to walk on them so we used Elliott’s points and got a hotel up in the Woodlands. We stayed at the Marriott along the waterway and it was beautiful. There ended up being a storm that night which was unfortunate because we weren’t able to walk down the waterway and enjoy the whole scene up there. We ordered Shake Shack from Uber Eats and watched Hook all snuggled up in our beds. It was a perfect evening.  Once we returned home we got to work putting bedrooms back together then later that night celebrated the new year! It’s become tradition for us to do taste tests with the kids blindfolded. We did different flavored oreo’s and ice drinks. We ordered Buffalo Wild Wings and wa...

Good Morning

Our kids don't sleep in. If they make it past 6:30 it's an extremely rare occasion. The problem with this is that Pete and I are not exactly morning folk. We make goals that say we will be in bed before 10pm, but after a week or so we are back to staying up way to late. Having Netflix is not helping either. We love watching documentaries and could watch them all night long. Every morning looks a little something like this. Our kids full of energy and ready to conquer the day, while Pete and I are wanting to kill ourselves.
