First we went to Boone, N.C. to celebrate 3 things. Cary's (Kell's sis) birthday, Cary's graduation from Appalachian State and a Merry Pryor Christmas!
Here's the view from our cozy cabin...
And here's the graduate and my wonderful in-laws...
Then we hitched a bus back to sunny and warm Florida where we spent the next week dancing to records, baking, eating, staying up late, sleeping in, wrapping gifts and drinking cocktails! Bliss.
Here's my pride and joy! Isn't it the coolest?? This was a gift from Kell's parents who also let me shop their impressive record collection.. I have a record on all the time now and am enjoying the sound of vinyl and how it makes Kell and I dance around the house. :)
Then we had my parents over our place for Christmas eve. They came to church with us and then we came back to our house and we ate a delicious meal and laughed and enjoyed eachother immensely!
Then it was off to DeLand for Christmas morning where we celebrated the wonderful birth of our Savior and enjoyed the blessings of being able to give and recieve heartfelt gifts. My dad got really crafty this year and made us some pretty amazing gifts... will save them for a whole other post next week, prepare for your mind to be blown! My mom knows my style exactly and I would wholly trust her to decorate my entire house knowing that I'd love it. She's a wonderful gift giver with a great eye and I am so thankful! Of all my wonderful gifts from mom... here's my favorite...
I've been wanting to have a neat drink cart setup in our place that wasn't matchy matchy... and looky here! Fun right? My mom and Kell's mom have been picking out these neat pieces from various places and made my Christmas! Isn't that chalkboard ice bucket rad? I love everything on this cart and love that they know my style so well! :) I can easily convert this to a tea or coffee cart too by just swapping the first tier out for the second.
I should say our place is ready to entertain you with good music and good drinks. Come on over!
Anna...you have the coolest style!! I love the cart you got for christmas and all the neat little niknacks they added to it!! :)
ReplyDeletei wanted to ask you about the bus ride....was it expensive/cheap/worth it?? i was thinking about taking a bus or train somewhere with my hubby too and wanted some input before i planned anything! :)
Hey Britt! Thanks a bunch for stopping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteAbout the bus ride... it was so CHEAP! We bought our tix from MegaBus and it was $2 each between Orlando and Atlanta! Now, not all fares are that cheap but the earlier you get them.. the cheaper they are. Also, I probably wouldn't ride a bus through the night.. seats are pretty small and people are kind of noisy. I'd definately do it again for a day trip though.
As for train riding tho? It was the best.. I can't wait to do it again. Any time we go out of town we check to see if trainfare is cheaper than the airfare.. but it's usually not. On our trip to NY.. prices were equal so we decided to make it a train trip up there and then because the train trip took a day and a half... we flew back. Which worked out wonderfully! Also, book your train tix about 2 or 3 months in advance for the best price!
Let me know if you have anymore questions. I hope you and your husband anjoy your trip wherever you go and however you get there!
