Black Friday

This year was my sister and I's first (hope-to-be) annual Black Friday shopping event. We had so much fun and got everything we set out to get, at amazing deals. It was so fun to have her here to go with me. I tell Tim all the time I wish I had my sister here to go shopping with and this year we did it, Finally!!!! We got up at 3:30 and had everything we needed and were home by 8:20 with donuts in hand for all the kids and Tim. Yea for early shopping, great deals and "cutting lines" (a time it helps to be little). Thanks Jenn! That was super cold and super worth it. Same time and place next year! Maybe it won't be soooo cold.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we invited my family to our house for Thanksgiving. My sister and her kids came and my dad and his wife ReNae we all able to make it. It was such a nice day. Cousins playing, ReNae brought a turkey craft for the kids to do, playing games and lots of yummy food to eat. Everything was fabulous! I am grateful for so many things...My wonderful husband, our amazing kids, our families, the Gospel, our beautiful home, our health, and Holidays to bring us all together, just to name a few. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Turkey Crafting with Grandma. Grandma brought noodles and nuts to make this cute craft with the grand kids. They turned out really cute.


I was combing Zach's hair and thought it would be funny to put it in pig tails for a few minutes. He didn't like it, but he did smile long enough for this picture.

Christmas Lights Are UP!!!!!

Yesterday we got the Christmas lights hung on the house and in the yard. It is the first of the decorations for the season, and that is exciting! I can't believe this time of year is here already. We just love the holiday season. Tim knew a snow storm was on the way so he worked really hard to get it done. The kids and I even went out to help. We turned them on for a sneak peek last night and they looked great! I am looking forward to Friday so we can turn them all on for the season. The next post will show you the snow storm we got. Tim is happy he got the lights hung just in time.

Snow Much Fun!

We woke up to a lot of snow this morning. As much as I am not ready for winter, it sure looked pretty. The kids were so excited to go out and play in it. They had eaten breakfast and were out in the snow by 8:30 a.m. Tim and I went out to play with them and shovel all the snow. We slid down the hill on the side of our house, the kids had a snowball fight with some neighbors that were out playing and Tim and I helped them build a snowman family. It was a lot of fun!
