Christmas Five on Friday

It's Christmas time, and what better time to get back into blogging than when we're all super busy and stressed? Ha! But seriously, I miss blogging, but it has definitely been one of those things that I have had to let go in trade for getting things done.

So in the spirit of holiday cheer, I wanted to join the link up again to share some of my five favorite things I've been loving lately.

Happy holidays from my family to yours!!!

1. This awesome bourbon barrel artwork made in the shape of Kentucky!!!


I think we're going to stain it soon to be a bit darker so that it doesn't blend in so much with the brick. FYI, this is the basement of the new abode!

2. Unseasonably warm Decembers! I detest cold weather and everything that comes with it, so the high's in the 60's over the past few weeks has been much appreciated! Keep it up Mother Nature!!! (And yes, that was a week ago, but it's still warmish, so it counts!)




3. Foosball table for the basement! We can't wait to give this to Silas this weekend as an early Christmas/please don't hate the new house/we know it's hard to move present/bribe. Drew already kicked my ass, so I'm going to need to brush up on my foosball skills. 


Yes, he beat me 10-1. Also, please disregard the out of place lamps, pillow, etc, in all the house pictures. We've owned the house since October, but we are far from done unpacking. 

4. This little warm nugget of a pup. Riley has been gone for close to 6 months now, and some days are flat out sucky because his rotten blonde self isn't there to greet me at the door. But Maggie makes for an awesome companion and it doesn't hurt that she radiates heat and keeps me warm. And man, does she loves some blankets!


She is literally curled up in a basket of blankets. Ruff life! (See what I did there, ruff, as in rough! I'm very punny.)

5. Finally finding some reasonably priced chairs for the dining room. I won't mention what a pain they were to put together, but man am I glad we can host Christmas this year and have places for people to eat!!!


I have not however, finished decorating the dining room. It's kind of last on the to do list, except we will have about 20 people there on the 26th, so I better get moving on it!!!

Here's the link up info, make sure to stop by and visit the hostess' blogs!
