Our Christmas Home

Its our very first Christmas together as husband and wife, and we are so excited to embrace the season! Trevor and I both LOVE Christmas time. In fact, its both of our favorite holiday/ time of year. We enjoy putting up the decorations, going to Naples to look at the Christmas lights, picking out a BIG real tree that will barely fit in our living room, picking out a personalized ornament in Downtown Disney, watching Elf over and over and over, and of course our nightly hot chocolate treat. I don't know what it is about Christmas, but I just fall in love with this holiday more and more every year. Kost 103.5 is on my radio non stop, seriously you can catch me on my daily commute to South Coat Plaza rockin out in my car to "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas!

This Christmas I feel so blessed to share the season with my amazing husband who I love more than anything. Not to get all gushy, but Trevor has made my dreams come true. You know that song "All I want for Christmas is you"? Yes, I know its cheesy, but when this song came out I was in the 4th grade, and me being the hopeless romantic I was, would dream about having a husband one day to spend Christmas with. Well I guess it only took 19 years for Santa to bring me what I really wanted, but he was well worth the wait!

I hope you all have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and may Santa bring you the love you have always wanted.

Give Thanks

Thanksgiving. A day to give thanks to the Lord for our blessings. God can be so good. I thank God so much for what he has given me. This year he blessed Trevor and I as we became husband and wife. YAY!

This holiday has always been a special time for us, because this is when we fell in love. Three years ago, I woke up in Trevors arms for the first time on Thanksgiving morning. We were living in Oregon at the time, and had no family to visit us, no big turkey dinner planned. However, that Thanksgiving will always be the most memorable for me, the one I am most thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Bruner household to yours! With that I give you our home: Thanksgiving style!

Haunted Bruner Estate

Well its no secret that I love to decorate, and when the holidays come around I become obsessed! I have always gone all out for Christmas, and Fall, but decided I needed to boost my halloween decor this season. Trevor loves Halloween time! He is a madman with a pumpkin carver, and always decks our house out with man made spider webs. So this year, with a little help from Pottery Barn, Pinterst, and Home Goods our house has become the Haunted Bruner Estate. We also are hosting a Haunted Family Dinner on the 15th! It should be a "wicked" good time! Bwahahahahahaha

I picked up this Vintage Frame from Pottery Barn During their Frame sale. The printable I downloaded for Free from Pinterst... and the Adorable Wine Bottle Jack o Lantern I found on Pinterst. I showed Trevor the picture, and he has made over 10 of these adorable bottles. We are thinking about giving them away as favors for our Halloween Haunted Family Dinner.
When I saw this Haunted House Candle Holder on Potterybarn.com, I about died! An adorable way to set the mood for a creepy night in. The pumpkin Candles I have had for years also a Potterybarn purchse. I fell in love with the Silver Skull Candles on a trip to home goods. Only $5, great deal!
