Holidays: Part 2

Merry Christmas from the Mueller boys in New Orlreans!

Side note, brother John doesn't always dress like he is MacLemore

The Christmasy living room

This was our first time at my in-laws new home - it was beautiful!

Their dog, Oliver. He hates the camera so this was the best picture I got.

Father in Law Nick with the sweater that he bought and wrapped for himself. LOL.

We were testing out our new camera and there is a "fish lense" on it and well, it makes you look like what a fish sees, ha! 

We attended the WWII museum Christmas show. The red head, Mandi, is my brother in law's girlfriend.

Afterwards we went the Roosevelt hotel. It.was.gorgeous.

In-laws!

We watched the Saints win, well some of us did.

Go Saints!

Mandi's puppy named Hallie.

Our friends, John, Patrick and Caroline came over for a visit. Patrick is a hoot and had us all pretending that we lived at the North Pole while he played Santa Claus.

Then we were back at the WWII museum for their Jump Jive & Wail NYE celebration.

It took place in the Boeing center - which is pretty cool!

Uncle Blue was a fan favorite while up on stage singing with the Victory Belles - Mandi is in blue. 

Hello! I really liked the white sequinned top from Nordstrom. 

We brought some poppers and in them were mustaches and crowns ha.

My favorite part of the evening - the photo booth! :)

Hope everyone had a great time over the holidays surrounded with friends and family!

Holidays: Part 1

We had a blast over Christmas/New Year with both of our families!

We started out in High Point with my parents....

We enjoyed Christmas Eve at the High Point Country Club and boy was it packed! The food was really good though since we all weren't absolutely starving and just picked at items on the buffet.

Here are Dad and Shirley in front of the Club's tree.

Me and Dave. Don't judge me, my hair wasn't agreeable - it started off rough but got better over new years.... with more products of course.

Mmmmm nothing like breakfast at a local diner to get your day goin!

We enjoyed lunch (aren't the holidays all about food anyway?) at Old-Salem. It was my request as I hadn't been there for years! It's a Moravian settlement in Winston-Salem. They make the.best.cookies.

We ate at Old Salem Tavern. Yummmm.

They offered a warm cocktail with their homemade apple cider. It was really good and all you needed was one!

Salem College

Santa was our driver :)

My two guys

This is no average Christmas tree.... it has REAL BURNING CANDLES ON IT. Talk about fire hazard!?We had to see it to believe it. It is at our friends home and apparently this is how they do Christmas lights in Switzerland. They have been doing this tradition for about 50 years now. The couple was so easy going about the tree that Dave and I felt like we couldn't take our eyes off of it!

My dad made a video of our time there. Here is the link. Turn up your volume for the pretty music. Have you ever heard of Magisto? It's an app for movie making. I recommend it! Also please note the Christmas lights in the video - my parents and their neighbors really go all out in the culdesac. 

We got some great gifts from Dad and Shirley but the biggest gift of all was a brand new camera! We really needed a new one!

Throw Back!

Here is our first ever Christmas card photo from 2009! Aren't we cute? :)

Our Crazy Brown Dog

I couldn't remember if I had shared these pet portrait photos (also for our  2012Christmas card) or not so if I have, I'm sorry, If I haven't - yay! Haha.
