Prized Possession - New Ribbon Holder!!!

I have always had hopes of being crafty. After the wedding I decided to make it happen. So I began scrapbooking, making my own cards, painting ornaments...all kinds of things. Due to all of this, I now need space to put all of my supplies. We have a large walk in closet in our bonus room that has been designated as "my craft closet." Nothing else is allowed to go in that closet.

For Christmas my husband got me this great ribbon organizer (ok, I picked it out, but he still ordered it). I have a ton of ribbon and now need a second one. But I really love being able to organize my ribbon according to season and color!!!

The Holidays!

This holiday season was very busy for us. It started with my 30th birthday and ended on the day after Christmas.

On my actual birthday we went to the BEST pizza place....Warehouse Pizza (way better than Me N Eds). We had some good food and then headed over to T Phillips Bar for a nightcap.

Christmas Eve morning we went to Joe Josts. Yes, that is right, we went to a bar at 9:30am in the morning on Christmas Eve. We went with some of the Liebel cousins and uncles. The place was packed. After a little while we discovered that the beer and food were free, and that is why it was so packed.

Danny was in town, so he joined us at Joe Josts. It was so good to see him, and get to be his partner at shuffle board. We made a pretty good team.

Here I am, kicking butt! We don't have any pictures, but after Joe Josts we went to a bunco tournament at the Greaneys, and it was a lot of fun. Josh and I didn't do very well, but it was fun anyways.


While we were opening presents at Craig and Val's, everyone thought it would be fun to put all of the bows from the presents on Bailee and Layla. It was driving Layla crazy!

I got some new cake decorating stuff for Christmas, so I decided to make a cake to take to my Aunt's house.

I love this cake....so cute!

Saturday night we had Jen, Jeremy, Kolbe and Jennie over for drinks and darts, and Bailee discovered the new pool table and decided it was a good place for a nap. Do you think that she is spoiled?

Christmas Time at The Liebels!

We love Christmas in our home. The day after Thanksgiving all of the Christmas decorations come out, and we get ready for the holiday season.

I have always wanted a pink Christmas tree, and this year my dream came true! We put our fake tree upstairs in the game room and it is pink and purple.....so CUTE! I recently discovered that they make pink lights too. So next year the tree will also have pink lights!

I just love this basket that sits on our kitchen table and fits roses perfectly.

The dogs were posing in front of the tree (of course there were treats involved). They are the best presents ever!

And the dogs by the fireplace and their stockings!

Our house with lights. We have since added more lights, but haven't taken any new pictures. It is hard to tell from the picture, but the things that look like balls are snowmen and look really cute in person. We also put some large Christmas bulbs on one of the trees in the front yard.

Game Room!!

We bought our house 1 1/2 years ago. For anyone who is a home owner, they know that furnishing a home is really pricey and time consuming. I am happy to say that we now have a game room!!

The dart board is now out of the garage and in the game room.

This morning our pool table was leveled, re-bumpered, and re-felted. It is now ready to be used.

This room is so big, and has been empty for a long time. We are buying a coffee table this weekend to put in front of the couch. Now all we need are some pictures for the walls and it will be done.

Random Cute Doggie Pics

Layla all wet after a bath. Her hair gets crimpy when it is wet.
The dogs don't lay by each other too often, so when they do we like to take pictures of the rare occasion.

The dogs love to relax with us on the weekend. They are never to far from us.

My little pumpkin laying on her pillow. Seriously, isnt she so tiny and cute?

Bailee recently got a new doggy door that is in the wall. Now she can actually sit inside the wall.

Layla loves to run around with multiple toys in her mouth. This time she has Bailee's favorite toy and one of my slipper socks (which is one of her favorite things to play with).
