Master Bedroom Complete!

All the painting is DONE! YEAH!!!

Without my moms help I don't think I would have ever gotten it done, I am so glad to be able to enjoy my break. Next time I get bored and think of taking on a task as big as this I will just be bored!

I do love the new color, the whole house has a different feel to it. The only rooms we didn't paint were the office because we painted it last year and the guest bedroom because I don't want to have to paint it twice, someday we will have a little Lewallen to sleep in there.

Hallway is complete!

The before of the hallway, I didn't do these before when I did the other hallway because these have 9 foot ceilings and I just wasn't ready to tackle them yet!

The after of the hallway!

Living Room is Complete!

While my mom was here I had her help me paint above the fireplace because I just couldn't reach it. I told her that's all I wanted her to do but I guess I get my hard headedness from her because she got on a roll and we finished painting the whole house!

Here is the before of the living room.

This is the after. I love the whole feel of the room now, not so sure about where I put the recliner but it does make the room feel MUCH bigger!

Christmas Day

This year we spent our first Christmas in our own home. We have been married over 5 years and never woke up on Christmas morning at our own house. It was fun! We woke up to a White Christmas! Out of 24 years for me and 28 years for William we had neither had a White Christmas!

We all woke up around 7:15 and I put our Caramel Soaked French Toast in the oven to cook while we opened presents.

First were the animals stockings. Jack got a Peanut Butter lollipop and a bag of cookies!

Rylee got a mouse with catnip and 3 balls with catnip...needless to say she LOVES them!

William had already gotten his big present which was an iPhone. Santa left him an App Store card in his stocking so he can buy apps/music or whatever.

William got me a bag to store my Bare Minerals make up that I bought with my other Christmas money, it's awesome! I had my make up in plastic storage bags before, I really like it and all my make up fits!

I also got some perfume from William. This set came from Sephora, I love how they do their gift sets at Christmas. There are 6 samples in the box, you try them decide on which one you like and take your certificate in and get you large bottle of free perfume. The sample size bottles last for a while too! I love it!

My mom got William a Disney Pixar's Wall-E on Blu Ray for Christmas.

I got a set of Christmas serving bowls from one of my grandmothers.

and a lamp from the other!

This is what we got my mom, she loved it!

Cooking Christmas dinner!

This is how Jack spent most of his day, following me around the kitchen hoping I would drop some food for him.

I think Rylee was tired from playing with her catnip toys!

Our spread for Chritmas dinner: Ham, Homemade mashed potatoes, shells & cheese, Corn Casserole, Green Bean Casserole, Sausage dressing that a friend gave me, brown n serve rolls, cranberry sauce, Cherry Cheesecake and Cherry Black Forest Pie. We ate off this food for atleast 4 good meals.

William and I getting ready to chow down!

Even Jack got a Christmas dinner, he doesn't usually get human food but he couldn't be deprived on the special occasion.

After lunch we headed over to the Malco to see Avatar in 3D, I really didn't have any interest in it but I am glad I went because it was a really good movie!

Christmas Eve

My middle brother Joseph and his girlfriend in front of my mom's tree, this was my old tree. Growing up we just had a small tree that was about a foot tall and just sat on the table so this was a nice change at my mom's house.

Me on Christmas Eve before heading out to go shopping with my mommy!

Me and my little boy!

It's so pretty!:) After a day full of Shopping we came home and got ready to head to church for the Christmas Eve service, it was so BEAUTIFUL!

Kitchen Complete!

I am finally done with the kitchen! YEAH! I am taking a break from painting until after Christmas and maybe even until after New Year's depends on how I am feeling. Here are the before and after pictures, ENJOY!
