Tis the season

Well, we are definitely in the season! We have our Christmas tree up and we are almost completely done with our Christmas shopping with all presents wrapped and under the tree. We only have a few more gifts to buy and then we should be done. We bought our first Christmas tree this year and i was anxious to get it up and decorated. I also made fudge for the first time ever! It is really good too, if i do say so myself! Hope you all catch the Christmas spirit too!!

fall!

Chris and I decided to spend Saturday taking a drive through the Tennessee Valley and looking at all the gorgeors colors of the trees in the Fall. We drove from Chattanooga up to Signal Mountain where we stopped by to visit my step mother. Then we drove down to the valley to visit our friend in Whitwell. Then we drove up Suck Creek mountain in order to get back to Chattanooga. It was a beautiful drive and a good time!
Also, the last picture is of the new wreath that we got for our front door. We also bought our very first Christmas tree (fake)!! I am so excited. I bought a bunch of ornaments after last Christmas b/c they were on sale at Target. So, i will post pictures soon when we put up the tree!
