the weekend rundown - company, couches & cousins

Another great one full of good eating, precious babies and fun times!

Heather - I promise this is the only one I'll share until your cards go out!! They're just SO cute!

We had some fellow Virginia fans over Saturday night for the
UVA @ FSU game and WHAT A WIN!

Holly and Chris brought over some great apps and
their sweet little Tucker

Our friends Jack and Meredith stopped by for a bit too!

I made our traditional chili with ground turkey, and a white bean chicken chili (super easy and awesome recipe courtesy of Jamie and Bernie Murphy- now on what's cooking page)

Both were  hits!



ghetto phone pic.. had to be posted though- Tucker was my mini-me!



The Braly Family: Chris, Holly and Tucker

Way to end the night with a WIN!

Sunday we got a wild hair and drove to Newport News bright and early to buy NEW COUCHES!

That's right, plural, as in we now have TWO brand new couches!

Oh how we've hated our couch for 2 long years-
this is like Christmas came early!

Sidenote: We unpacked the boxes last night and we **ahem Anthony** "realized" they sent us home with 4 left arm slipcovers.

Only to check again today and realize they are
in fact, the correct covers.
Sorry for bashing on you for the past 16 hours World Market. Anyways, they look fabulous! I'll post pic later.

After couch pick up, I went to Mathews to do a little Christmas card photo shoot for my cousin Jamie and his wife Heather and my most precious little twin baby girl cousins!

Guess I shouldn't share those until Heather sends out her cards, huh?

But I will say there are some ADORABLE ones of those babies,

I could seriously eat them up they're so stinking cute.

On the way home from the photo shoot, it was late afternoon and 70 degrees out, so I met Ant at Merroir for some delicious steamed shrimp and a beer on the porch.

(maybe said beer can account for why we were being idiots and thinking we got the wrong slipcovers?!?)

Happy short work week!!!
