On Friday before Thanksgiving, our friends, Mark and Shevawn, hosted a "Wii are Thankful" party. It was so much fun to have couple's tournaments on the Wii, we ended up playing for 5 hours. Craziness, but the winner of the night, took the Wii for Thanksgiving week. Sadly that wasn't us, but congrats are in order to the Libby's. Hopefully there will be pictures of the event soon.
The next few days were spent shopping... Zach and I have marked off almost everyone on our list. It's a good feeling to have that done. Now I just have to get Zach's presents and I think he's still working on me as well. ;-)
Wednesday, Zach had to work from 10am-7pm. We were hoping that he would have the early shift, but it ended up being smack in the middle of the day, so we decided to leave for Memphis on Wednesday night when he got home from work. The car was packed by the time he got home and we headed out the door and were on our way by 7:30pm. It made for a long drive, but we arrived in Marion, AR at 2:45am at the same time that his brothers drove up. All four of us piled into the house with all of our dogs and crashed. The weekend was spent with lots of food, family and 7 dogs. (Mind you 3 of those dogs were puppies that were only 4 days old.) It was a good Thanksgiving spent with Zach's family and we were glad to be able to make the trip. We also got to see Zach's best friend, Curtis, who is newly engaged to his wonderful girlfriend, Jessica. What a blessing they are to each other. Very exciting! Too bad there are no pictures to show for the weekend. Saturday morning, after a full two days spent with Zach's family, we got up at the crack of dawn and were out on the road by 6:30am. Zach again had to be at work at 2pm. We made it home by 1:15pm and were exhausted. We were just thankful to be home safe and sound. God provided for us along every point in the trip and made it a wonderful time.
I'll leave you with the pictures of our Christmas decorations around the house for the first time...
Zach and I will celebrate 2 years in about 3 weeks. Time flies when you're having fun!
Our tree fits so much better in the house, than in the apartment. I love it!
My favorite star lights from IKEA... if I could I would buy every star that I could get my hands on.
I've never had a banister to decorate. It's kinda cool!
Penguins from Target... one of my favorite places! Hope that everyone else had a great time decorating. It's going to be a great holiday season!

Your house looks great!
It does look really good. I wish I was in my own house so I can decorate it. Maybe just maybe we will be in it before Christmas, but I don't know yet. I'm glad your Thanksgiving was good. I think the only time I know for sure that I will be in Lewisville is the 21-22. We are having a big Nichols Christmas on the 22nd. I don't know if I will be there longer or not yet.
