Christmas and the day after

This year Casey and I awoke on Christmas morning in our apartment and exchanged gifts. The remainder of the day was spent at the Jones'. On the 26th we spent the entire day with the Jumpers'. It was so nice to be able to spend the entire day with each family (relaxing, opening presents, eating, napping, talking, etc) without having to drive from place to place. We ate some amazing food and got to catch up with everyone. It was especially fun getting to hang out with my brother and his wife Katie as they live out of state and we don't get to see them as often. This Christmas was perfect as I got to spend it with everyone I love; I am blessed.

Casey's UBS Christmas party was at Capital City Club; the photographer captured a couple pics of us.





Tonight we had my family Christmas party with my daddy's side of the family. It was fun getting to catch up with everyone!

Scott Antique Market strike-out

I love Scott Antique Market! One weekend every month the Scott Antique Market comes to the Atlanta Expo Centers with displays of antiques and collectibles. In the past we have walked away with some great finds for the house. This month in particular we had specific items in mind. For one, I was on a search for an antique crystal chandelier for the new master bathroom. I additionally wanted to find some dresser pulls/knobs, sconces, and anything else that might go great in our soon to be newly decorated living room. Well, it was a bust. The only item we purchased the entire day (4 hours later) was a bottle of jewelry cleaner. Yes, I'm a sucker for demonstrations. I swear my rings haven't looked this shiny in the past 6 1/2 years! I have posted some of our fun finds, but nothing that we ended up purchasing. Maybe next month we'll have better luck.
