HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!

A lot happened this weekend. We celebrated Thanksgiving with family, I braved the crowds in the early morning hours to shop with my mom, I took pictures for Heath's sister, she took pictures of us, we painted the downstairs bathroom, decorated for Christmas and still somehow we both managed to make it to work on time today!

We had a lot of fun and enjoyed making memories. Above is one of the pictures Heidi took of us. It turned out well! Stay tuned for more pictures to come!

Things are progressing with the basement. We are going to start painting the bathroom tonight and hope to have the sink and toilet set by this weekend! It's certainly a busy time of year. We celebrated Thanksgiving Sunday with my family. We had a great time and ate way to much as always. We will be opening our home up to Heath's family on Thursday as well. I am sure the weekend will be filled with decorating for Christmas. I just love to do that!

We have been progressing on the basement. All the studs are up and last night Heath and his dad hung sheet rock. Our electrician has started the wiring and will hopefully wrap up soon. I purchased the paint for the bathroom yesterday. I am very excited to start painting it!

Looking into the timber. The trees look so pretty with the snow. We did however lose power twice for about 2 hours each time. Luckily we had candles and flashlights. I hate to be in the dark.

The first snow of the season. We ended up with 8 or so inches.

Max gets to come in the house (only the basement) every once and a while. Last night we had some friends over and played the Wii. Max thought he should get comfortable. The next thing I knew he was sound asleep on our couch! He didn't care too much to go back outside either!

Heath has been diligently working on walls in our basement. You can see the bedroom and bathroom walls. We hope to have a working bathroom soon!

Happy Anniversary to my husband, my best friend! It has certainly been a great 4 years. I love you!

We have enjoyed the great fall colors over the past few weeks around our house, but I noticed yesterday that the leaves have fallen and you can now see our house from the road. I think this is a sign of winter....
