O Christmas Tree!

Don't you just love Christmas decorations! I got into the decorating mood one afternoon when I got in from work. This is what we ended up with...

TAG!!!!!

Three posts in a week has got to be a record for me! A friend from back home, Brittany, tagged me. (At least I assumed it was me, you may have meant another Jill :).) Anywho, I am supposed to go to my FOURTH picture folder and post the FOURTH picture and tell you FOUR things about it. So here goes...

1) This is me and the hubby waiting for Thanksgiving lunch at my Grandma's this year.
2) We were getting restless because it was taking so long to start the feasting.
3) Seth says that his goofiness has rubbed off on me even more since we got married. :)
4) I was very thankful that my wonderful husband gave up his family Thanksgiving so we could go to Henderson!

Okay...so many of my blog buddies have already done this...so, I'm gonna have to cheat and just tag two: Julie and Lori! Have fun!!

Turkey for Everyone!!

Well, Seth and I made the trip to Henderson again this year for Thanksgiving. It was so nice be able to visit with all the family in one place! Usually when we visit, we spend the whole time driving from house to house visiting everyone. We had PLENTY to eat, as you can see!

And this was just our FIRST of three meals! Both of my grandma's cooked while we were in Henderson, then we also got leftovers from Seth's grandma back in Huntsville! We're gonna have to go on a diet to make up for the past week!!

We also got to meet the newest member of our family, Luke Barrett Wilson! FINALLY! He is an absolute sweetie! He was so good Thanksgiving, even with everyone passing him around every ten minutes! Here are a few pictures of Luke!

Eli is ONE!!!

Seth's nephew, Eli "Chuck" Norris, turned one a couple weeks ago. He has reached the stage where he has such a personality! So he was hilarious at his party. (The sugar rush from the icing may have also had something to do with his hyperactive-ness that night!)

Seth helped him open his gifts. I think Seth had just as much fun with the toys as Eli did!

Uncle Seth ALSO gave Eli a sneak taste of cupcake before he got a whole one to devour on his own. Here are a few pictures.

Proof....

You know it's fall when:

1) You get to put up cute fall decorations.

2) Your pretty green backyard is blanketed by TONS of

leaves....primarily because you never rake. :)

3) Your bathroom looks like a disaster zone.

Yes, that's right! It's home renovation time again! Fall is our designated time for doing work on the house, since Seth coaches ball in the spring. So Saturday, Seth, with the help of his dad and brothers, completely ripped out one of our bathrooms. Goodbye pink tile and carpet!! (Yes, the people before us had carpet in the bathroom!) Stay posted for before and after pictures!

7 Things...

So I’ve seen this on a bunch of different blogs and thought that it would be fun to do….especially since I’m sick of the reports I’m working on. This will provide a much needed break! :) Enjoy!

*Learn to decorate really pretty cakes*
*Take Seth to New York (We didn’t get to go this summer like we planned…I don’t think Seth thought about the fact that by proposing he was giving up his chance to see the old Yankees Stadium for a wedding. I’ll definitely have to make that one up to him!)*

It's A Boy!!!!

My aunt Brandi (the next to youngest of my mom's siblings) and her hubbie Mark welcomed their first baby into the world at 1:15 this morning!! Luke Barrett...okay, I am not too sure of the spelling of the name but if this is wrong I'll let you know. Anywho this is huge for our family since we haven't had a baby around in almost seventeen years! This is the only picture I have of him so far, and it came via cell phone so it's not great quality. But I can tell he is precious! Mommy, Daddy and Luke are all doing well! I'll post more pictures as soon as I get them!!
