Weekend Recap: 12/10/12

What a perfectly blissful weekend! After 3 weekends on the road traveling, it was so incredible to be in town for a full 3 days!

Friday Night we headed out to do a little Christmas shopping and ended up finding and purchasing 2 of the gifts we had been struggling with finding so glad we decided to go out that night! Then we headed over to The Pizza Joint (one of our favorite) for dinner. We also had to toast a big celebration... I've mentioned before that we still own my house in Greenville and have been renting it out for a year and a half to some amazing tenants (we really feel like we hit the tenant lottery!). Well, their lease was coming to an end at the end of the year so we were trying to decided what to do - sell or rent some more - when our tenants decided to sign another year lease! We are SO thrilled to be keeping the same wonderful people in the house and the fact that we don't have to worry about it until 2014! Also during dinner we got the text we had been waiting all day for - Baby Roy Westbrook had finally been born!! Double cheers!

CHEERS!!

Saturday Morning we laid around a bit (watched a little Saved by the Bell - true story) then hit the town to finish out our Christmas shopping. We got it ALL done! Such a relief to be done with the shopping and just have to get everything wrapped and ready for the festivities to begin! We also had the honor of heading over to the hospital to visit with the new mom and dad and meet Baby Roy! He is so precious and we are thrilled for our friends!

Saturday Night we decided to go to the Riverbanks Zoo Christmas lights with our friends Amy and Lee and their son Bowers. It was so much fun seeing the lights and spending time with good friends!

Really dark picture but this is me, Brett and Bowers.

Sunday we decided to be extra ambitious and get up and go to early church so we were able to go to church, grocery shop and get home all before lunch! We then did a few projects around the house (including finally hanging the curtains in our guest bedroom). Then we walked over to a new neighborhood right down the street that was hosting a Tour of Homes. The houses were absolutely stunning and had me drooling and jealous as we left and walked home. It was a beautiful day (almost 78 degrees) so we sat outside, took Brinkley for a walk around the neighborhood and grilled some chicken kabobs for dinner.

It was truly one of those weekends that everyone needs from time to time. We've got a busy few weekends ahead with the holidays but all worth it! Hope everyone else had a great weekend as well!
