oh how we love the christmas season…

dec. 29, 2010
This year, we started listening to Christmas music after Halloween.  We enjoyed the jolly songs that took us through the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, and still, the anxiousness and build-up of Christmas day is always exciting and so very fleeting.   The day flies by no matter how slow you mentally make it go!

This year, we opened a special present Christmas Eve morning, which seemed to lengthen the holiday.  It was so exciting to surprise the girls with this gift!  You’ll see pic’s and video…I’m not going to give it away just yet!

Doing crafts, decorating, and making my Christmas gifts were so much fun.  In fact, out of character for us, we had gifts in boxes ready to ship Dec. 1st!  Woo-hoo that was great.  So, yes, we still have the Christmas cards addressed waiting for stamps to be bought, but hey, the most important happened first!

Enjoy all our fun pic’s, and head over to the Modern Vintage link if you want to see all the necklaces I made this holiday season!

halloween festivities…loved it all!

halloween fun…through october.  2010

Well, Jarom and I dressed up for the first time ever, or maybe the second.  But I won’t say what our lame costumes were the first time we dressed up-probably 13 years ago.  This year we were a bit more creative.  Jarom was “What about Bob,” and I was a Grecian princess.  We went to a fun Halloween party, and really just had fun together.  I love being with my guy!
Then there was pumpkin carving with our cousins.  That was a lot of fun!
Then there was a costume contest at a local pizza joint called Maddio’s, and Alex wonFree medium pizza for a year!  Whoohoo!
Then to end the fun Trick or Treating season, we went to the best trunk or treat we’ve ever been to.  Our ward really decked out the decor, along with costume contests, and food contests.  I’m happy to share I won best chocolate dessert!  They were homemade peanut butter cups made with Belgian chocolateOh, ya, they were good!
