New couch, Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations

We have been looking for a new coffee table for a while and we went into a local furniture store called the Potato Barn to take a look.  We came out with a couch. What!  Ya, we impulse buy.  We have hated our couch for many moons for multiple reasons.  We saw this one and fell in love immediately.

And its super comfy.

And now for Thanksgiving

We had a nice thanksgiving with just Andrew and I.  It was so relaxing.  I made ham, homemade stuffing, homemade rolls, grandma's rasleberry pie, fruit salad, asparagus and of course the staple mashed potatoes and gravy.

 I have a problem for cooking for just two people, but we had amazing leftovers for a week! YUM!
Notice the Indians at the table-they are our only Thanksgiving deocrations.

The after math, wishing he hadn't eaten so much.

 Here is my very first homemade pie.  The W of course for Ward.  I made the crust from scratch and it was more difficult than I thought it would be.  I had to do it twice per a small minute mistake on the first batch.  Pie crust dough is very finicky. But I prevailed and here is the beautiful result.  I have to thank my wonderful grandma Kofford for the recipe. She is one of the best cooks I know.  She makes everything from scratch and it is always amazing. And this pie, AMAZING.

Andrew and I have had the week of Thanksgiving off and we have taken the time to do a lot of Christmas decoration shopping.  You see, we love Christmas. A lot.  We already have a significant number of decorations but you can never have enough.  We spent the day after thanksgiving putting up all our decorations and finding our real Christmas tree.

 I couldn't resist the fat Santa or the owl(quite possibly best decoration ever)

 Here is the wonderfully smelling Christmas tree we picked out this year after MUCH(on Andrew's part) of deliberation and driving around.  Picking a tree is an art form you see.  Andrew is master.
Side note: While I was sitting on the couch at about 3 am(I work graves, don't judge my messed up sleep schedule)  I looked over to see the tree crashing to the ground breaking many of these ornaments.  Sad.  I then had to call to Andrew to help me get it back up and redecorate and clean up all the glass pieces at 3am. 

 Andrew loves to put lights on the house. We chose colored lights this year because they just make me happy.  He got to use his new Little Giant ladder to put these up, highlight of his week.

 I just threw this in there because we were taking a nap on the couch and it was so perfect I had to take a picture.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
