A Twitter Christmas...

I am addicted to decorating...heck, I'm addicted to a lot of things :) But, I really do enjoy decorating, rearranging, watching HGTV, and looking through interior design magazines. I'm so addicted to decorating that I even changed my twitter background to a Christmas theme. Here is the background that I used...

I created it on Scrapblog and I think it turned out so cute.

It actually looks even BETTER on my twitter account because I used the tile feature and the poinsettia is mirrored on both sides. Check it out HERE.

Am I the only one that has a Christmas theme on my Twitter account???

Santa's Debut...

I have been anxiously awaiting Santa's debut. He FINALLY made his appearance at the Knight home tonight...

Now I'm anxiously awaiting his REAL debut on Christmas Eve!

Baby It's Cold Outside...

The weather in Florida has FINALLY cooled off and it is starting to feel like Christmas!! I think the low was in the 40's these past few days. Not to mention that I put up some of our Christmas decorations. Check out our mantel this year...I'm really proud of how it turned out.

I am planning on adding a few holly berries to the garland, but so far, I am really liking how it looks. Next on the agenda...lighting the fireplace and enjoying the Christmas-like weather.

If you haven't entered my latest giveaway, go HERE, there are LOTS of cute Christmas items and I will have FIVE different winners!

Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving 2009...

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner tonight. I don't think I will eat a SINGLE thing for the rest of the weekend...I am so full, but I loved every minute of it :)

Here are just a few of the pics I took tonight...

My brother-in-love frying a turkey!!

Jimmy cutting up the turkey...we missed you Dad, so Jimmy did the honors.


Uncle Tim cutting the ham.



Check out that spread!! We had three turkeys, a ham, greenbean casserole, broccoli and cheese casserole, squash dressing, stuffing, mac-n-cheese, and SO MUCH MORE!!

Me, Kim, my mother-in-love, and Sue.


And last but not least, the lady that started it all, Grammy!



What a great Thanksgiving with a great family!

Wordless Wednesday...

This Wordless Wednesday is dedicated to THANKSGIVING dinner...YUM!!!

We normally have a baked turkey and a fried turkey for Thanksgiving.

My brother-in-love makes the BEST broccoli and cheese casserole!

The dressing...one of my FAVS!!



Green bean casserole...this is the dish that I make (because it's EASY)!

And Watergate Salad for dessert.

Can you tell I'm ready to stuff myself silly????

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!!!

FRIENDSgiving...

This weekend we celebrated the fourth annual FRIENDSgiving. This is a time where all our friends get together for a pre-Thanksgiving dinner before we all go our separate ways for the holidays. Our friends Blaise and Julie hosted the dinner and we had a great time! I didn't get a lot of pictures of the guys, but the girls had fun smiling for the camera :)

Blaise and Julie wanted to have a "tacky sweater" theme again this year and it looked as if everyone chose a Christmas themed sweater.

We had such a good time with all our friends and now we are looking forward to a great Thanksgiving with our family :)
