Christmas Time and a little extra :)

I know it has been a while since I have blogged. One of my new year's resolutions is to blog more. Look back after the new year to see what all of my new year's resolutions are! Anyways I have been very busy putting my house in order before the holidays. I moved in on November 30 and have almost lived there a month! I love love love my new house! My new couch and chair arrive tomorrow and am looking forward to decorating the living room and kitchen.  I have had many visitors come to see me at my new house! Here is a picture of the Christmas lights Derek put up (little does he know next year we will have clear lights on the house :) ) and my tree.

Back to the topic at hand... Christmas Time. Derek and I went to Oklahoma the weekend before Christmas. He was finally brave enough to go to Oklahoma and be around my family for 48 hours. Here are just a few pictures from Oklahoma. This is a house close to my dad's. Each year they decorate like crazy. I had take D by the house because i love it.

Meet Sadie, the newest addition to my family. My dad and Diane came up to Columbia two weeks ago to get her from Jefferson City. She is only 7 weeks only in this picture and is a Great Pyrenees and the next time I see her she will be so big!

Nannie decided to do a white christmas tree this year with purple and silver decorations.

We came home late Sunday night to spend Christmas Eve with Derek's family. It was a wonderful holiday. We ate breakfast and had mimosa's before seeing an afternoon movie. Then enjoyed dinner, wine, games and presents. The only downfall was that Jeff (Derek's father) was called into work for a short period of time.

On Christmas day D had to work :(. I spent the day lounging, watching movies and playing with my AWESOME  ipad mini D bought me. That night we ate crab legs and opened presents.

Below are a few of the other gifts D got me and one from my nannie (the flower dish brush).

And here is one of my favorite gifts from my dear friend Cortney. She got me a new house ornament for my tree. I am so glad she thought of this, because I did not! I love it because it has some sparkle and is red and green to match the rest of my decorations.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas! and have a happy New Year!
