Happy Birthday

He is my best friend.
He is my soul mate.
He is kind, funny, handsome and generous.
He is all this and so much more.
He is everything to me.

Today is his birthday. With each passing year, each birthday, I am reminded how blessed I am to have him at the center of my life.

Happy Birthday, Baby!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Welcome, Christmas!!

We finally got some pics of the Christmas decorations! Brian took all these and I think he did a fantastic job!

Here's our living room tree:

Here's the opening between our living room and dining room/area of the kitchen:



Here's the mantel:



And our bedroom tree:



We had so much fun decorating and now the fun is trying to keep the cats out of everything! So far, so good, but tonight, Sleepy pretended to be a present under the living room tree. She also picked out a couple ornaments from said tree to keep her company. :D

We still have to get some pics of the outside stuff. Hopefully tomorrow if it doesn't rain!
