Merry Christmas 2013

I wanted to take this time to say a big thank you ALL once again this year for reading my blog, following along with my house adventures, and overall support of me and this blog. I seriously couldn’t do what I do without all of you out there reading and being interested in my family and what we do.  I’m still so grateful for all the blessings that have come my way and this year has been a special one.

Mom and Dad Christmas 2013

(my parents at home in front of the little tree that my mom still puts up and decorates)

We will be celebrating as a family and as always, our mom and dad are a big part of that.  I want to savor every Christmas that we have left with these wonderful parents of ours.   I’m making cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning (Pioneer Woman’s recipe) and we will gather in my sister and brother-in-law’s big greatroom.  We will laugh, open presents, eat too much and be thankful for our blessings.

I so much enjoy writing this blog and sharing with all of you out there, so I just want to wish each and every one of you a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends.  My family mean the world to me and my friends are so special to me too. I’ve been extra blessed in life with all of them.

May the peace of Christmas be with you all this year as together we look forward to another New Year, just around the corner.  I can’t wait for 2014 and all that it holds.  This year has been so wonderful for me and I can’t wait for another one to begin.  Life is a big adventure and I love every bit of it!

I’ve got lots to share with you soon on my trip to Lake Tahoe and the HGTV Dream Home.  I’ll get all of that up really soon, so stay tuned.  It was an amazing trip!  And Friday, I’ll be sharing Mary Kay Andrews Christmas house in Avondale Estates, so you will not want to miss that!

Merry Christmas my friends! Enjoy the beauty of this day.
