Hello Friday!

I am happy to have made it to my favorite work day of the week.  We get to wear jeans and don't have to come back the next day.  What could be better! 

Tonight I will be going to the Carolina Christmas light show at Charlotte Motor Speedway.  We were very smart and paid the extra money for the fast pass.  We didn't really want to wait in a long line. 


Tomorrow I am finishing up my Christmas shopping with a very dear friend.  I am pretty sure we will have a great time shopping for others and maybe a little for ourselves as well. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

SeaWorld

We spent the day after Thanksgiving at SeaWorld,  It was a great time.  Here is quite a few pictures from the day.

This was a great day!  I am very glad we all got to experience it together.  I can't wait to do it again.

Weekend Recap / Christmas Tree Hunt

This past weekend we headed up to the mountains of North Carolina to find out Christmas tree.  We ended up going to the Snowy Mountain Christmas Tree Farm. As you can tell from the picture below it started snowing once we got up there!!  It made for a fun tree hunt. 











Did we want a mini tree??




Me and Belinda searching for just the right tree in the SNOW!

This is the ONE!!  



The tree up and decorated in the house.  I know it is a little crooked but I think it adds character.  I also decorated the rest of the house as the pictures below show.  I still have more to do but this is a start.

Side tables.
 
 
TV Stand
 
The Outside
 
Snow Puppy Mat bought in VA.
Wreath for the door from Patrick's Mom.
 
 

That is all that has been done for now.  I am now off to study for finals.  I am so ready for this last week of school this year to be done!  I will be back later in the week pictures from my Thanksgiving trip to Florida.  Hope everyone had a great weekend.
