With a great help of kids, we painted our dinning room and installed a brand new wallpaper by Ellie Cashman. I had been obsessing over
this dark floral design wallpaper for two years now. I finally pulled the trigger and went for it. I’m very happy with how it turned out!

I got to together with my my ex-coworkers for holiday lunch today. Miss these girls so much! XO

Guess who came to our house

Lake Mohawk Weihnachtsmarkt

Church decorations. Done. 🙂

For the last few weeks, my friend and I have been busy planning and decorating for our church, getting ready for the Advent season.

We made 6 big wreaths with help of lovely ladies who volunteered to help.

We strung lights to the wreaths and hang them from the ceiling.

I got to hang them using a riser from the top of the ceiling. It was wild, fun and scary to be so high up there. What an experience.

It is also our family tradition to get our Christmas tree day after thanksgiving day. 

We had holiday music in the background and spent all afternoon decorating for the holidays~ Love this time of the year!

We are happy to host thanksgiving dinner for both of our parents this year.

It is a family affair, we all cook together for the thanksgiving dinner. This has become our family tradition. 🙂
