It's definitely getting Christmasy around here. Dec. 1 I got serious about shopping, and did most of it that weekend. I have a few more gifts to find, but for the most part everything is purchased and wrapped. Now comes the hard part - not opening them. Does anyone else have this problem? We are always so excited about what we've gotten each other it's hard for us to wait until Christmas! Home improvement has taken somewhat of a back burner, but painting that fireplace is high on the list...
I found this vintage light up Christmas tree at an estate sale a few months ago.
Last night we had my parents over for full Thanksgiving dinner. They were out of the country for Thanksgiving, so we celebrated late. I can't believe I didn't take a single picture of the food! The turkey was perfectly golden brown and everything else turned out great as well. We were able to try out our new remote thermometer for the turkey and it was so nice to be able to monitor the temp the whole time.
Some home improving has still been going on. Aaron used a wire brush to take the paint and rust off these original register covers. The plan was to paint them white, but when he got the old paint off , we really liked the industrial look of the brushed silver. So he cleaned them with acetone and clear coated them. They may rust, but hopefully they won't. If they do we will just go with the first plan and paint them white.
