Then we discovered that our mantel was literally falling off the wall. Turns out it wasn't really a mantel but actually a really large shelf that the previous owner thought looked like a mantle. So looks like we are getting a new mantel for Christmas...not exactly what we had planned.
In a couple of weeks my mom and I will be hosting our annual Ladies Holiday Brunch. I'm so excited about it. It is just so much fun to have all the girls together and eat yummy food and do our little ornament exchange. It just makes my heart happy.
More on the holidays later I'm sure!
