Christmas in our Bungalow - My Faves + Weekend

It was a great weekend.  We had a little Christmas Party action, a lot of relaxing, and a day of Christmas baking with my little bro.  Well to be honest he slept on the sofa until it was time to roll out the dough.  I'm prefectly ok with that, it's so nice having him home from college.

I meant to post these over the weekend but just didn't get around to it, my apologize.  These are few of my favorites...most of which my mama did.

Christmas in our Bungalow - The Village

The Mr.'s parents have been giving him pieces of the Department 56 - The Original Snow Village for years now.  He has quite the collection.  This is the first year in the bungalow we have display all of the pieces on the guestroom built in's.

a pretty arrangement my Mama did 

Christmas in our Bungalow – Phase 1

So I’m going to break this up a bit so I don’t overwhelm you all photos (my mom doesn't like too many pics in one post).

Phase 1 – basic pics brought to you by my mama’s friend

Phase 2 – the village, the Mr.’s favorite

Phase 3 – the tree, a few close ups and the deats

I know the anticipating is just killing you all but I promise for real to have everything in the blogosphere by the end of the week.

Tuesday Randoms

The tour was a success thanks to my mama and her friend who spend a ton of time decorating last week.   I can’t take all of the credit.  I was off work yesterday and the Mr. and I finished up the Christmas shopping.  Then had a little dinner + movie date.  We finally saw Moneyball.  Great movie a bit slow but I would definitely recommend.



Due to our fun day off I still haven’t uploaded the pics of the house.  I promise I will share tomorrow.  In the meantime I have our Christmas card out takes to share.  Cards went out yesterday so you will have to wait and see which one we picked for the final cut.

Oh Happy Day

Tuesday was a great day. (I’m a little behind this week) One of our best in quite some time!

First of all I went down to the capital of Atlanta to court for my car accident in October. This was only my second ticket ever and my first time in a court room. It was a lot like the tv shows. I originally pleaded guilty and after watching several people walk up and say no contest they were dismissed. So little old me walk up stated my name and said ‘excuse me sir, I would like to change my plea’ and the judge gave a small chuckle and said ‘you are catching on, good job’ then asked if any witnesses were in the court room. No one responded and I was dismissed…free to go! Very exciting news as I was prepared to pay some sort of fine. The Mr. was very supportive. He woke up early to go with me and then couldn’t go in the courtroom and had to wait in the hallway for 2.5 hours. He’s the best! I took the day off work due to court but then we were outta there by 10:15.

We ventured over to the Pottery Barn in search of our new sofa. We found it!!! It was the first couch we sat on! And it was on sale! So excited to finally have a new sofa, even if we won’t get it until after Christmas. Now we just need to find a coffee table and 2 more chairs and we will be set, Merry Christmas to us!

Then we had a great little lunch date.

Headed home for a change of clothes and headed to the tree farm. After a long while of searching we found 2 great trees. One inside tree and one back porch tree, we finished decorating last night.

The Mr. made a delicious beef stew and then we were off to the Atlanta Botanical Garden for the Holiday lights. So pretty definitely going to be a new holiday outing for us if you are in the area you should definitely check it out!

It’s been a very busy/productive week and I can’t wait to share pictures tomorrow!
