This weekend was full of fun and adventure!
Ty's birthday was on Saturday and he
decided that he wanted to spend
it at his families cabin.
We bundled up Friday night and got to the cabin with the temperature reading
12 degrees...yup 12... we were freezing!
The cabin heated up quickly and after some yummy chili dogs
we had Ty's early birthday cake!
I tried a ice cream sandwich cake recipe I found on Pinterest
and we are huge fans!
Basically its layers of ice cream sandwiches, whip cream, caramel sauce, and toffee bits!
We would highly recommend it! Super yummy and super easy!
The hard part is trying not to eat the whole thing!
The next morning we woke up to a blizzard!
It was snowing like crazy and we were worried for awhile that we would be stuck.
We stayed inside cuddled up watching TV and playing games until around 3 and then decided that we
should probably head out before it got dark.
Our plan was to cut down a Christmas tree while we were up there so even
with the snow storm we were determined to bring one home!
So we headed out in this crazy mess!
(The picture doesn't do the weather justice!)
We drove for a good 15-20 minutes
looking for a decent tree that was no farther than 50 yards away from the car.
We weren't in the mood to hike!!
We saw a few runner ups but they didn't quite pass the test.
Finally I saw a cute little tree and made Ty run and check it out.
It was kind of small but we were getting desperate so Mr. B cut it down.
Don't mind my outfit... like I said we were desperate but determined.
We brought it home and it fits perfect in our little apartment!
I was hoping to find a tree skirt I liked somewhere without
paying a fortune but we ran out of time and so I created this little beauty
I love how it fits underneath our little tree :)
The Christmas season can now officially start!
We have the snow and we have the tree!
I think this is a Christmas we will always remember.
I am very excited for our first Christmas together!
Oh, and Happy Birthday Ty!
For Dixie kids you sure were brave to be out in that blizzard! But, that's what memories are made of right? Can't wait to see the tree, the skirt and you guys in real life....but I'm grateful for the pictures and updates! Happy Birthday Ty, and Merry Christmas to you two. You still are as cute as newlyweds!
