A Football Game and A Christmas Party

I've been a little behind on blogging...there's been a lot of work things to get done before the holidays and it's kept me from updating what we've been up to in our down time! 

Two weekends ago we were in Atlanta of for the SEC Championship. Sadly, the game didn't end the way we'd hoped or prayed, but we had a nice time visiting with friends and family for the weekend. 

On Saturday, we joined the McLeod's for their fantastic tailgate before heading to a friend's house to watch the game. 

Hollie snapped this picture during happier times while watching the game. We were at Amy and Jeff's house.

And here are a few other snaps from the day. We began the morning with the trip to the dome, and the McLeod's tailgate quickly amped up with more than 50 people there! So fun!

After watching the game at the Dils' house, we stopped by Griffin and Allison's house for some post-game commiseration.  We were so sad. Even Murphy, the Hamsley's dog wanted to just forget all the heartache and huddled under David's arm. 

This past week brought some happier times for these Dawg fans though...our first Christmas party in our new house! We invited our friends, family, and co-workers for a drop-in party, but most people just stayed the whole time - which I loved! 

Before our guests arrived, we had a little photo sesh with the fam...

So happy Amanda and Pammy could join!

My handsome co-planner! He's such a help and I couldn't pull it off without him!

I was beyond tickled that Laura Lyn came to play too!

And my sweet parents (who also brought James with them, but we don't have a pic!) drove up to hang for the night as well!

Here are two pics from the evening, but stay tuned to Bellissimo and Bella for detail photos of the whole house. 

Hope your holidays have been happy so far too! Can't believe its 2 weeks to Christmas!
