Merry Christmas Darling

Our little Christmas tree! This year I went with a blue/ green/ magenta theme for the ornaments.

I just love the way the ornaments and garlands sparkles in the afternoon sunlight!

The octopus was a random ornament I found at Walmart. He is holding a string of Christmas lights!

Some more decorations.

This snowglobe was an early gift from Justin! It has a music box in it and plays Silent Night.

More decorations. Some of these items I've had since I was 15 years old!

Had to make the plants feel Christmassy too! πŸ˜‚

Justin got a tiny sapling at the Christmas tree farm this year. Our goal is to plant it in the spring as part of the #teamtrees initiative started by Mr. Beast on YouTube. 

We got some teeny tiny ornaments and garland for the sapling

Oliver has been a good boy completely left the tree alone. 
Now, my spider plants on the other hand.....😧

Look how cute this little baby tree is!

Oliver tolerating the Christmas collar we got him.

It's really cute hearing the little bells jingling as he runs about the house.


He has been using the Christmas box bed I made for him last year!

I have found him snoozing in there once in a while

Justin and I opened our presents to each other on Christmas eve.

This little bird ornament was a gift from one of my friends. It's so cute!

Oliver wanted to nap instead of open presents

He did enjoy the new scratcher bed we got him for Christmas!

πŸ’•

Justin loves Rubik Cubes. So I got him four Rubik cubes that are a little bit harder to solve.

This cube was turned diagonally

This silver cube was all one color and the bits are all different sizes!

Justin gave me a new tablet! My old one is slowing down and the speaker is going out on it. 

Another cube πŸ˜‚

Borderlands 3!

A shirt I got for Justin, it is soooo soft!

Oliver was wiped out from presents.

I also received a package from one of my childhood friends! The paint pens are AMAZING! Also the tumbler she sent me is way too cute!


More Christmas posts to come!!

Love, Rebecca

Meeting Lucy


I finally got to meet my new little niece Lucy yesterday! I had come down with a cold the day before she was born and had to impatiently wait until I was well enough to meet her. 

Lucy arrived in the wee hours of the morning on December 2nd. My brother was up at 1am to shovel the new snow from their driveway after Sarah told him it was time! Sarah had a quick labor and Lucy joined the world around 4:30am!

I am so excited to watch this little lady grow up and get to know her. I can't wait to see what her interests will be, what she likes to do, what her favorite food will be and on and on. 

🌺Welcome to the family Lucy!🌺

Love Aunt Rebecca

Thanksgiving 2019


My out-of-state brother brought his dogs for Thanksgiving this year. Here you can see Donald hard at work supervising my dad carving the turkey

Gurley also joined in on the food supervising. Gurley and Donald are very well behaved dogs and its always a treat to see them. 

My grandma and my mom enjoying baby Henry

Henry turned 1 a couple weeks before Thanksgiving!

Ready to eat! My brother Jeremiah, sister Katelyn and brother Collin.

I was very thankful that my grandparents were able to join us for lunch. My grandpa isn't as spry as he once was, so its lovely to see him out and about. 

My brother Caleb, brother Jeremiah, sister Katelyn, nephew Collin Jr and brother Matthew

Gurley and Donald waiting for my brother Brandon. They are always by his side. 

Justin and I made peanut butter pie as usual. 

Sarah,Collin and baby bump. Sarah has since had her baby (Dec 2nd) Update on that will be soon.

Dad enjoying his coffee. Or as my brother Collin says it now "cawf-ee" 

Caleb and I. He has of course officially grown taller than me. 
My hair poof makes me look as tall but I'm not.

Jr is ready for dessert y'all. 

I love this pic. Henry looks so cute! I'm sad Brandon lives out-of-state and doesn't get to see the nephews as often. They are great kids.

Katey being a great aunt and entertaining Henry. He is teething now so he needs a little extra loving.

Brandon brought a game called "Pictionary Air" it was pretty fun and got a lot of laughs. Also look at his good boys sleeping. 

Gurley is so cute 

My dad, nephew Henry, brothers Matt and Jeremiah 
and my husband all squeezed onto one couch. 

Collin making Henry giggle. 

Now on to Christmas!!
