Homemade Christmas Banner.

I wanted a banner to hold in my Christmas card and I didn't want to pay the $20 to buy on on Etsy.com

I got the template from Martha Stewart and tweaked it a bit in photoshop.

Ribbon bought at Michael's.  

total cost for this banner=$1.00

I got IT!

I am going to be an intern at Anthropologie.

I can't believe it! 

I am so excited to be apart of this Design Team!

 all term long....

Our FIRST Thanksgiving.

 Chocolate Milk Cousins

LOVE THE FACES.  Priceless.

 THE TEAM.

 Mom's cinnamon rolls post turkey bowl.

 J crew sweaters are the best.

 Little but of Wii dancing. Classic. Big Hit.

 I said, ANDREW look mean AND this is the face he gives me.  

Someone obviously hasn't watch ANTM.

 WE can DRINK!  ....cider.

 Hit up Black Friday FOR THE FIRST TIME. Every year we joke that we will go and never do. So this year we but our words into actions and sat through the hour long check out line. I guess it was worth it when I got all the seasons Gossip Girl for only $12 and Modern Family and Glee for $8. Got a $300 camera for $150. AND  as for the TV ummm that was the husband's purchase clearly.

 Homeboy switched over to the APPLE side, best decision he has ever made;)

 Took THREE men to get it on the stand

 Our TV before (I thought it was a pretty good size, apparently NOT)

 Black Friday = 60 inches of Bliss

Don't worry we went back to the field to burn of the pounds gained at the Thanksgiving meal...

Played football, soccer, and ultimate. 

Games galore!  

OH AND ANOTHER THING THAT HAPPENED OVER THE HOLIDAY: 

 I went from THIS to...

THIS! 

I am red head CAN'T believe it. 

After all thinking I finally DID it...

and I am happy about it. 

No matter how bad my mom freaked.

Hey Neighbors!

First needed some OPH breakfast!

HUGE leaves on the ground

We took a walk around our neighborhood today.

I think the houses are ADORABLE. 

Every corner and block has charming homes, every time we would see another house I would tell Andrew, THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE, then we would keep walking and I would change that statement to NO, THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE. 

Basically I died and wanted to live in them all because they are all so different and unique.

I think I may just want to live in this neighborhood forever.
