Gosh this Christmas season has rushed by in a blur!  We packed in a lot of fun, but it sure went by fast!  I've decided to make this a two part post so stay tuned for part 2 later! Jordan and I kicked off our holiday break by heading to San Antonio to see family.  Since we were driving south, we decided to make a pit stop in Waco to see the Magnolia Market and meet up with Jordan's brother and his family.  I have to say, the Magnolia Market did NOT disappoint!  If you're a fan of Chip and Joanna Gaines or the show Fixer Upper, you'll love this place.  They have a huge store full of beautiful decor, a bakery, garden, and plenty of outdoor space for kids (and adults) to enjoy the fresh air (perfect for a break on a road trip).  If we aren't in a hurry the next time we pass through Waco, I think we'll stop again.  It's the kind of place where you can hang out for a half hour or all day, whatever works for you! These are a few pics from our trip:

Merry Christmas!!  I hope this post reaches you warm and happy with family and friends!  I'm going to keep this short but I've got some pictures to share with you (Abby themed). A few weeks ago we popped into Petsmart to buy some more dog food for Abigail and ran into Santa Claus!  Apparently, Petsmart annually provides FREE visits and pictures with Santa for any pet!  I thought it was a hilarious concept but Abby seemed uneasy (not unlike the screaming children in the mall).   Santa must have smelled funny because it took a long while to get Abby to look in the direction of my camera.   HA!  She just looks so awkward in this picture! Later we did some light house chores and changed the bedsheets.  I'm biased but the Gails always seems super cute nesting in the sheets. Look at the little mug! In other news, 2017 will continue a few house projects for us.  We've been shopping for new tile the last several months to replace the tile in our kitch

With the end of the year approaching, it feels like there are so many projects that remain unfinished.  Is that just us?  This last month we've been trying to finish random thoughts, projects, and plans.  It's impossible to finish everything but it's nice to get a few things checked off. One of those things was getting to the root cause of Jordan's sleep habits.  The last several months, Jordan and I have been talking about our quality of sleep.  I've already told you about our new bed (you can find that post HERE ).  We both love our new bed, but I'm surprised that Jordan has still not been getting a quality night's rest.  Personally, I take a while to fall asleep but once I do, I'm like a rock.  Jordan on the other hand tosses and turns all night long.  His FitBit readout of the night is always terrible!  SO, in November we finally decided to get him into a sleep study.  The title of this post became our little inside joke because he did the sleep

Morning everyone!  It's Saturday and I can feel Christmas in the air!  Our Christmas shopping is finally done and I'm looking forward to a break from work!  Now, if only Jordan and I could get over our Winter colds...  Unfortunately, the last two weeks we've both been sick.  Jordan bounced back faster than I have, but we've both had mild temperatures, incessant coughing, wheezing, and swollen throats.   I think we are on the upswing though! Some pics of our comfort food and medical arsenal: Top Right and Left: I thought some warm comfort food might be good for Jordan and I so I took my first attempt at making a homemade chicken pot pie.  I must say, it turned out great!  It took longer to make than I expected (I made an extra to freeze) but I think it will go faster next time.  For speed, next time I'm going to try to cook the chicken in advance. Bottom Left: We've gone through a lot of tea in our house lately.  The warmth feels soothing to our
