Merry Christmas!!

I hope everyone has had a very Merry Christmas! We sure did! It was nice to have the whole family here and enjoy each others company. This post will have a lot of pictures... I hope you don't mind.

On the 23rd, we went to Williamsburg. Just the girls. It was fun to do a little shopping (mainly window shopping) and have some girl time.

Christmas Eve, everyone came over our house for dinner.

Ronnie's large (sneaky) gift to me....

Christmas morning at my parents!

A little football.

Christmas dinner...yum!

And can you believe it snowed on Christmas! Crazy. I don't think it ever snowed on Christmas here before!!

Merry Christmas!

Hangin' with the Fam

Cory and Chelsea are here visiting for Christmas. Tonight we're just relaxing at my parent's house. Cory and my dad are playing Wii during half time for the Boise State/Utah game....

It's nice to have the whole Paxton family together again! 

Have a Merry Christmas!

A Little Time to Post about Holiday Decor

Today I went to work and then it snowed. Then I drove 10mph all the way home at noon. I shouldn't complain because now I can get some things done around the house!

Our Winter Wonderland

(I won't say I'm sad that it's already starting to melt.)

Our Christmas Tree

The wreath I made...

Making this wreath is super easy.

You need: Wire, wire cutters, ornaments of your choice and a plain wreath. If you can find plastic ornaments that you like this may save you from future disasters. I used glass. I also used different sized ornaments and some shiny and some matte.

Take ornaments and wire them to the wreath in no particular pattern (at least that's the way I did it). Tada...Enjoy.

See easy.

Price: under $20! (Way better than $80!!)

Snowflakes

I like the fake, sparkly snowflakes on my tree....

but I'm not really up for the real ones! 

I'm sure it will be melted by morning...(and why I chose to take a picture of my recycle bin of all things, I don't know..)

Happy Weekend!

Disasters of the Week

First it was my hand towel...I just got it from Pottery Barn about a month ago.

Remember our Guest Bathroom....
Well that hand towel now has a huge bleached out spot. How it happened, I have no idea! We don't really use that bathroom!!! Ugh. I called Pottery Barn and they are sold out until September 2011...figures....

Next, I saw this wreath that I loved but at the price of $89 was a bit much for me. SO...my mom and I made one ourselves and frankly it was beautiful! :) I had to hang it on our glass door with a command hook. I followed the directions for the hook and waited an hour to hang my less than 3 pound wreath. About 3 minutes after I hung it...We hear something that doesn't sound good. We open the front door to find my beautiful wreath fallen and and half the balls were broken...I almost shed a tear! Well I'm definitely fixing this one. (I'll show you after!)

But the good thing is I only broke one ornament while decorating the tree....
