Catching Up

It has been a while since I last updated. Things have been crazy lately with the holidays. But the shopping is done and the gifts are wrapped and most of the parties are over so I have a few minutes.

First I'll start with Thanksgiving. We went to Prescott to celebrate it with Jeff's family. We had a yummy meal and an enjoyable time. It was also my birthday on Thanksgiving so we celebrated that too. On Thanksgiving night, Jeff left at midnight to get in line at Walmart for their black Friday sale. Oh the things my husband will do to get a deal, especially considering it was around 34 degrees. He was first in line and got some awesome deals. He was quite proud of himself.

When we got home from Prescott we decided to put up the Christmas decorations. The kids were so excited to help.

We are quickly outgrowing our house so this year we didn't have anywhere to put our gigantic tree. So we bought this tall, skinny tree. It hardly takes up any room and is pretty cute. Hopefully someday we will buy a bigger house so we can use our big tree again.

Leah loves the tree. We had to bolt it to the wall to keep her from pulling it over.

We have it decorated now too. I just haven't taken a picture yet.

Outside putting up the lights.

We also saw Santa Clause and played in fake snow at the Borgata in Scottsdale and we went Christmas Caroling at a nursing home with all of my extended family. My mom has the pictures of these events on her camera so hopefully I will get them and post them soon.

This week we are hoping to see Santa Clause at the mall and go to the Temple lights. I love this time of year. There are so many fun things to do.
