All Decorated Up!

Usually the weekend after Thanksgiving is spent decorating our house with all of our Christmas decorations. It generally takes a full day to get it all up, so I like to get it up right after Thanksgiving so that we can enjoy it for the full month of December, because come January 1- I am usually ready for it all to be down and put away and ready for the New Year! This year I went to Ogden with my sister to grab a few things on Friday. Brad spent the whole day putting lights outside on the trees, etc. It looks so awesome. I was so thankful that he did that for me while I was gone.... because I know he did do it for me. (He really doesn't care as much.) Saturday I spent the whole day getting the inside of the house done, except Brad and Abby helped with the tree. It is always a wonderful feeling when it is finally done. Hoooooray!

Our Christmas tree is prelit, but we always put a few extra strands of decorative lights on it. It is super pretty all lit up at night. Love, love, love it!

Last year I made this cute Jingle Bells, and I also love snowmen.

Santa

Our Nativity Set.

I just bought these stinkin' cute stockings this year. I actually have 2 more , but I haven't hung them up yet. This will be the first year that Brad and I actually stuff a stocking for each other since we have been married. It should be fun!

Fun candy cane candles.

Little Village, it looks super cute all lit up at night.

And that is really about it! A few more things here and there, but I figured I had posted enough! Now, my goal is to get my Christmas shopping done in the next two weeks! Lets see how that goes!

Happy Holidays!

Halloween

Tis' that wonderful time of season again -- Halloween. Brad and I debated if it is even a holiday. But whatever it is, it is kind of crazy. Abby was just sure she wanted to be a leprechaun, so that she is (in case you were wondering).. I asked her. "Why a leprechaun?" and she said, "Because I like the color green." Hmmmm, interesting. She is here with her friend Hadlee, aka: Minnie Mouse and Marissa, aka: A Dead Bride. Yes, they sure have fun costumes as they get older. But, I guess it's all about the candy, as they all 3 headed out the door with a pillowcase in hand.
Now, this is when trick-or treating is cute! Here are the grand kids: Trey as Batman and Krew as Robin. Krew didn't really care, he just wanted to give you a lick of his lollipop. But Trey was wound up pretty tight. Fun, Fun.
We didn't get to see these grand kids trick-or-treating all the way out in N. Carolina. So I stole the picture of Facebook. Here is Dylan as Peter Pan and Sophie as Tinkerbell.... Oh how I love Tinkerbell! I just love it when little siblings stay with the same theme and match.

STINKIN' CUTE!!
