New Furniture and Holiday Decor...also I may need 12 steps

New Furniture:
As promised here are pics of our new furniture. We love and have managed to keep the dogs off of it for the most part. The cool thing is that the love seat reclines and it fits David and I perfectly so we can sit together and snuggle. :)

I really like the chair. It is modern, but in a good way. I love the pattern and the pillows that came with the couch match it perfectly.

Couch and Love Seat Perfect for Snuggling

New Chair Modern, but not too modern :)

Holiday Decor:
Here are some pics of my mantel, tree, and yard decorations. David is going to put lights up on the house, but it rained today so no luck. These are Iphone pics so forgive the blurriness.

I may need 12 Steps:

Today's project was to sort through all of Emily's old clothes. I had been storing them in old diaper boxes and wanted to sort through them to be organized for either a new baby in the future or a massive garage sale :)

I was amazed at the sheer volume of clothes. I looked at all her clothes and it seems like yesterday she was wearing those tiny 0-3mos outfits. I ran across some of my favorites and it was nice to see how much she has changed in the last two years. I found that if we have another little girl, I will not need a stitch of clothing. I may have to look at a 12 step program for the shopping. :)

PS: I don't know how to get pics in the right order, sorry :)

Eight boxes of clothes later...and two boxes of shoes

See the need for 12 steps :)...12-18mos on left, 24mos on right

0-3mos on left, 6-9mos on right...I went a little crazy there

I made a very nice fish dish for dinner. I took some shrimp, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, butter, corn and some random spices and sauteed. Then I put that over some Tilapia and brown rice. It was really good, except the shrimp got overdone. I have some rice left over for lunch. YUMMY.

I tried to walk today but got rained out :(

I also read my advent devotional, but it was too deep for me. I will try again tomorrow.

Till next time.
