2016 is off to a great start in our household! Coach and KJ spent the evening at Jerry World watching Alabama play, T was in New Orleans with Pony Boy and friends for the Sugar Bowl and I ushered in the New Year with a glass of wine and a bubble bath. I think I was asleep by 10:30 pm. It was glorious!
Christmas was really great. Very quiet with just the four of us but very relaxing. Since the girls were very little, we've always gotten a new game for Christmas and we played it Christmas Eve. We all slept in on Christmas morning and had our traditional breakfast casserole. I think everyone was happy with their Christmas gifts (Coach got a FitBit, the girls and I got lots of Kendra Scott, James Avery jewelry, Hunter boots, Michael Kors bags, clothes, etc.).
Lax season is fully underway. KJ is super duper happy with her lax team. It's a combined FloMo/Marcus team and she said the girls are all incredibly nice and have been exceptionally welcoming. A couple of the girls knew a couple of her volleyball teammates so that was a Nice ice breaker.
The weather has been so crazy the last week or so. Last week I had the heat off and some windows open, the weekend was noticeably chillier and the heat is back on.
We've had a nice relaxing 3-day weekend. Friday KJ had a half day and the three of us had an awesome lunch at a little local place we've been dying to try. We also did some furniture shopping and ended up buying a new patio set. Saturday was rainy and dreary so Cosmo and KJ started painting the office. It was a dark, dark green and felt like an old man's office (previous owners had dark window treatments and old, boring golf prints). I picked out a nice light color that's hard to explain ... not tan or beige but not ivory either. The color perfectly matches the tab-top curtains I had in the upstairs hallway in our Alabama house. The room looks so bright and airy now and ten times larger than it did!
Sunday the sun came out and warmed up a bit so KJ and I spent the afternoon walking around Grapevine. Such a cute little Main Street with great shopping!
We also bought new light fixtures to go over the kitchen island. I like all of the light fixtures in this house, they had all been updated before we moved in. However, I positively hated the dark Tiffany stained glass pendants. We bought very simple ivory shades to lighten things up and it makes a huge difference.
The patio set was delivered Sunday afternoon; now we just need the weather to cooperate so we can have some steaks on the grill!
