HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

We had thanksgiving at the Ortons this year!!! We all helped cook all day long, so we took pictures in our aprons!!We had such a good time, it was good to relax and chill with the fam!! Colmans cousin from utah and her husband came too! We enjoyed the yummy food and prepared for early morning SHOPPING!!!

TIM TAM SLAMS!!!

Colman learned this sweet treat when he was on his mission. with these yummy REALLY hard to find cookies called tim tams and hot chocolate ...its to die for yummy..melt in your mouth...literally!

Our latest project!!

Ok...so i went to put the leaf in our table for a game night, and...it didnt match!!! We had never used the leaf ever since we bought the whole table at a yard sale the summer we got married. So...i had the GENIUS idea of refinishing the table. It was a TON of work...We sanded the whole thing by hand! Im so proud!! ok, ok, here it is!! Before we got started..you can see that it doesnt match!!

Stage 2: STILL SANDING!!

We did it right inhouse..BAD idea..

EVERYTHINGwas covered in dust!

AND FINALLY.....

The finished product!!!
