Christmas time

Last week on my break from school, I wanted to make sure I got up all of my Christmas decorations.  I always try to get this done on Black Friday, even though I typically have to work on that day as well.  This year I only had to work for 3 hours, so I got a lot done before work, and then had Mark help me set up the tree and houses when I got home.  I love how everything turned out!  I always love my Christmas decorations!  I think I may get that from my mom... seeing that I grew up with a different Christmas tree in each room of the house, with a different theme for each one.

Christmas tree all decorated!  I didn't use all of my ornaments this year.

This is my first year putting up the village.  They were my mom's and she knew how much I loved them growing up, so she was kind enough to give them to me!

 I was really hoping to be able to get an awesome picture of the girls in front of the tree for our Christmas card, but it is near IMPOSSIBLE to get them to sit together and look cute.  This is the best picture I could get.  They look SO cute, but it didn't make it onto the Christmas card.

And lastly, Stella was super excited that I got her a new bed for a Black Friday deal. She was so proud that she sat in it the whole time we were decorating.  She is so dang cute!

Thanksgiving 2012

We always have SUPER busy holidays because we have a lot of family to see!  Thanksgiving this year was NO different.  We went to my mom's for lunch and Mark's uncle's for dinner.  AND we had dinner last night with Mark's mom's side.  BUT even though we are busy, we are grateful to be able to see and spend time with everyone.  It was even EXTRA special because my sister came down for Thanksgiving this year and we did a gift exchange since they won't be down for Christmas!  I LOVE my new scarf that she got me :)  I have fallen IN LOVE with infinity scarves!

 I didn't get many pics so I only have 2 funny ones to share...
