Christmas Decorations

Here are a few of my Christmas decorations....I'm still working on a few so I didn't take pictures of them but this is what I've got so far. My pictures aren't the greatest quality either because I have to use my camera phone until I get a new camera! Since we live in Dave's grandparents old house, a lot his grandma's old decorations were still here so I tried to incorporate them as best I could. Some of them are actually really cool and just needed some updating!

Thanksgiving Weekend!

This Thanksgiving weekend was really fun! It started off with Dave's 26th Birthday which was the day before Thanksgiving! We went out to dinner at Sizzler in Provo with Dave's family. Then we came back to our house and had cake and ice cream. I made a double decker german chocolate cake...it was delicous!! I love celebrating birthdays!! Thursday morning we headed up to Logan. We left our dog here and I really wanted to take her with us but Dave didn't want to! :( Anyways, Thanksgiving dinner was at my mom's this year. My dad's side of the family came. The food was AWESOME! I didn't take any pictures on Thanksgiving but it was still a fun day! Later that night, my mom, Virigina, April, Tatum and Regan and I went to see New Moon. I seriously thought it was going to be the best movie ever after I heard all the hype from everyone else. Suprisingly, it was not really that great! Sure, I'll probably go see the 3rd one but I was not impressed. Friday, my mom and I went shopping with Virginia ,my grandma Gerry and aunt Pat. We hit the Novemberfest, Hobby Lobby, Sugar and Spice and all sorts of fun girly places! This is Dave trying on Bubba's coveralls that they bought! Later that night we decided to hang up some Christmas lights at Brady and Virginia's house in Logan. IT was quite the event. We had a lot of fun and it looked really cute when we were finished. Saturday, the boys went pheasant hunting! Me and My mom went and got our hair done. I chopped my hair off to about my chin and colored it blonde again. I don't have a picture of it but once I get the styling down I will take one. We put up my mom's Christmas decorations the rest of the day. She gave me a bunch of the ones she didnt' want anymore :) Dave's not excited about the fact that we brought home maybe 4 times more things than we went with.

It was a great Thanksgiving Weekend! I was so happy that Dave was able to get the weekend off of work to go with me! It was a much needed vacation from our every day lives! Now we're back to the real world. :(

Last night was our Ward Christmas party. We were asked to bring a salad so I made Italian Pasta Salad. It was gone within the first 10 minutes so it must have atleast looked good. There was a really good turnout and I actually knew like 50% of the people. We love our ward family. I will be really sad when we have to move out of this ward, if/when we move into our own house.

We're only about halfway done with our Christmas shopping! Even though I really love shopping, it feels like it is neverending right now. I need to go shopping today but it's Dave's familiy Christmas party today so I don't know if I will have time. Maybe we'll go later tonight! I still need to plan my Sunbeam lesson for tomorrow too!!!
