{ CHRISTMAS GIFTS '11 }

…just cause they are cute… inspired by Pinterest, we followed  a yummy recipe from myrecipes.com and made these adorable concoctions for our friends and family.

{ CHRISTMAS '11 }

…although its been three months, it was our first Christmas at the house and one we’ll always remember.

…we made a wreath and it had a nose and ears.

…Sketch loved the Christmas Tree, he might have considered marking his territory, but instead, he laid in front of it everyday.

…we enjoyed looking for and finding beautiful ornaments that we’d cherish for years to come. we also loved making some of our own.

…and Sketch enjoyed his Christmas gifts.

{ HALLOWEEN '11 }

…our second year carving pumpkins! we got a little more daring this year and got bigger ones. luckily, Miami Shores Presbyterian Church had a great selection. Sketch came along to help us pick them out. I think they turned out quite well.

…Miami Shores is a great place to Trick-or-Treat. we plan on venturing out next year; but this year we really enjoyed everyone coming by, including our friends the Zaneys!

…we also made our first yarn wreath! what do you think?

{ FOURTH OF JULY ‘11 }

…we’ll start our updates with some of the holidays we have celebrated since we’ve been at the house.

…this year Fourth of July was extra special for us. not only was it when we “officially” started living at the house, but we also had our first house guests! that’s right, house guests! our great friends Michelle and Warren came to visit us from Baltimore. thankfully, they did not mind the lack of furniture or construction dust; because it was great having them here.

…we had an impromptu, but amazing day grilling, playing dominoes, laughing and celebrating.

…and towards the end of the night, we took a walk to the Miami Shores Country Club to watch the fireworks. perfect way to wrap up the night.
