Thanksgiving- Part 2

After I did the last post, I found this picture, so here is everyone who was at our house for Thanksgiving minus me (taking the picture)

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It was very fun to be able to have it at our new house. I had a lot of fun planning the food and decorating the table. Josh helped me a lot, and here is what it looked like:

And here is a picture with all the food!


Josh did a really good job cooking the turkey:


I was not very good about taking pictures this year, but my parents, grandparents, and sister and brother-in-law plus 4 more dogs all enjoyed time at our house!

Nursery!!

We finally picked up our baby furniture and were able to start putting the nursery together. The dresser came assembled which was great.

The crib had to be assembled but was not difficult. (Luckily we saved money by picking it up) Samson decided to help and got caught in jail ;)

We don't have a mattress yet, but we put some of the baby bedding in the crib so our family could see it when they are here for Thanksgiving.



We still need to put things on the walls, and but we are happy with the furniture and can't wait to meet our little man.

I am now 24 weeks along. My little boy has moving around like crazy the last few days. His kicks have been stronger, and I can sometimes see movement on the outside when he kicks. It is fun for Josh since he can feel him a lot more now.

Redecorating the bedroom

Josh and I have been looking at bedding ever since we registered for our wedding. We are both very picky and weren't sure when we would find something we both liked. This weekend at TJ Maxx we found a bedspread we really liked. After we got it home and put it on the bed, we really loved it! We started trying to get the rest of the room put together as well. I think we have been watching too much HGTV :). We went through all our house looking for things to decorate and put up on the walls. We found a couple of frames to put up that matched the new bedding. I had two purple lamps from before we got married. They had purple beads hanging off of the shades which Josh didn't like, so we just cut off all the beads so they weren't so "girly". Now we just need a couple more things the complete the room. We are just so happy to have a start on decorating our bedroom. Here are some pictures:



My friend Randi is also having a little boy soon. She is 7 weeks ahead of me. We took a picture of our bellies when we got together this weekend. It has been fun to be pregnant at the same time.

New Table

This is our new kitchen table! We needed more seating for family at Thanksgiving, and since there is not enough space for a big table we got another small table that we put next to our old one for plenty of seating. I really love the wood with white look. Our living/dining/kitchen large room is now pretty much complete, except for anything on the walls in the kitchen.

Today I went to Hobby Lobby to get some Christmas stuff!! I had been watching for the ornaments to be on sale, and this week they are. I also got a few decorative things. I love Christmas and getting ready for the holidays! Yesterday I worked on planning for Thanksgiving since all of my family will be coming here. I'm working most days between now and Thanksgiving. And we are going out of town every weekend until then as well! It'll be a little crazy but that is ok.

I will take a new belly picture soon! I'm enjoying feeling him move more and more, just waiting to see him actually kick.
