Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We were both off from work for at least 4 days (I still have monday off :) .... On Thanksgiving we had a wonderful grits casserole breakfast and biscuits to start the day. We were able to relax at home/watching the parade and being thankful for the many gifts and blessings we have received this year. We have wonderful friends and family and are blessed with a healthy little girl who is still cooking away. We went to our neighbors house for Thanksgiving dinner. It was awesome as usual...... and I was requested to bring red velvet cupcakes so made it very easy for me!!! We had a wonderful time and ate way too much!!!!

This weekend instead of shopping out in the craziness we opted to hang out at home and decorate the house. We watched the Iron Bowl and the Michigan game...... and ate leftovers. We have our tiny fake tree up (this one I got last year when I was by myself...) we have dedicated this one as our baby tree. It has fun baby ornaments on it and is tiny enough to make it cute just for her. Next weekend we will get our real tree. Jason worked hard and put up outside lights (my favorite). The outside lights are the big bulb colored lights.... they look kind of white in the picture.

We also took the time to go out just us... we figured the time is drawing near that we won't be going out as a twosome very often so we should take advantage of it. Only 19 days until her due date... we are very excited!!!

Done and Ready

The nursery is completely finished. Jason put up the decal we ordered for above her crib and it turned out great (apparently they are a pain to put up). So we are very happy that her room is finished!!!! We also installed her car seat in the vehicle and our "to go" bag is in the car. Now we can finish doing all the little things around the house. It is before thanksgiving.. and yes I am putting up Christmas decorations already!!! I just don't want to have anything done and be too tired to do it if she comes any earlier. Jason is doing great and putting up frames etc.. and helping with all the little/big things around the house. He is waiting until after thanksgiving to put outside lights up on our house. This will be my first Christmas off of work in many many years... and I am looking forward to it!!! Our weather has finally turned cool so the windows are open. I of course have a heater box inside so when its in the 40s at night our window is open and I have a fan on (crazy!!! probably) and my poor husband is covered over his head with blankets. We are very excited and very ready to meet our little girl!!!! 33 days left til her due date...

video

We have had a great weekend!!! Jason put up two tiny shelves, I finished washing some clothes and sheets for the nursery. We watched lots of football and only went to the baby store once for some mattress pads on sale.
The only thing we have left for her room is the wall applique above her crib. That should be here this week and then we are done. We love her room and it's nice to just sit in the rocker and look around.
We go to the doctor for our check up tomorrow and I'm sure all will be good!!!! 40 days left!!!
Hope you enjoyed the video of her room.
