I love Christmas!!!

We have been so excited for Christmas this year at our house. I have had our decorations up for about 2 weeks now! We don't have our tree up yet, but I have already helped put two other ones up!!! My sister, Mom, and I went and helped my grandma get her tree up this year. I don't think she would have got it up otherwise. And that, my dear friends, is not acceptable at Christmas time!!! I also helped decorate a tree for The Trees for Charty event they do every year here. All the proceeds go to our Christmas party for the National Guard, so I hope it does well. We decorated the tree in red, white, and blue and had a vinyl sign on it that said, "God Bless America." It turned out really cute! So Ty has asked me everyday this week if we are getting the tree out, so next time I am blogging, our tree will be up. This time of year is so wonderful to remember our Savior and the sacrifice he made for us. I feel so blessed. I have an amazing family. We are all healthy, other than the occasional cold and whatnot. I could go on and on, but I won't because I get a little boring anyways. I just wanted to say I really do love Christmas...and it has nothing to do with presents!

Halloween!

I know Halloween is over, but I wanted to post the pictures. The kids had a lot of fun all dressed up. Ty couldn't decide what he wanted to be. He really wanted to be Bumblebee the Transformer. I couldn't spend 25 bucks on the costume though. That seemed like so much!!! So Grandma Pam bought him a green skeleton costume, and Aunt Mandy got him Optimus Prime. He was going to be Optimus until about 5 minutes before we left. So I hurried and changed him, but I just found out I didn't take any pictures of him in his skeleton costume!!! I told him he could choose though. He really liked the skeleton because it had gloves and a mask and he felt really scary! Maycee was happy to be Tinkerbell. I made her a green tutu. And she had fairy dust. I think I payed too much attention to detail for a 2 year old, but it was fun. Maycee didn't really like some of the costumes. Some were a little scary for her. But overall we had a great night. Ty is already thinking what he will be next year!!!
