Family Time

Saturday night we went to my sister & brother-in-law(to-be's) for dinner.

She made a chicken topped with goat cheese & sun-dried tomatoes, with a side of pesto pasta.

my sissy's all growed up hehe

Our host/hostess gift~mums~


I brought the salad

He just can't take a smiling pic!

.so photogenic.
















Loungin after eating too much yummy food, while the boyz played Madden 2012.


Sunday brought Joe to his first day of hunting.  Nope, he did not get one yet! We had lunch with his parents out at their land...
I was a tad chilly. Nice faces.


We then headed over to his grandma's house where Aunt Phyllis was orchestrating apron-making...

Inspired by my annual Holiday Cookie Party, she wanted to make a cute/fun apron for the holidays.


So many options: lace, flower, pocket?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas--can't wait to wear it! oxo

The master! Grams sewing! <3

It was a great weekend, Fall is in full effect and my favorite {Christmas} is right around the corner.  
What are you family traditions?  How early do you start to prepare for the big C?

  4. My husband and I always go out and see 2 movies on Christmas Day. It gives us a chance to catch up on the Oscar movies.

    I would totally wear a Mrs. Claus apron.
