Our Christmas Tree

Last year after Christmas we bought a new Christmas tree. It is a pre-lite one and I love it! It was quite a bit bigger than our other one, so I had to find a new place for it! I went with a new color scheme this year, teal & silver!! I like how it turned out! You can't see too well, but there are really neat silver letters that spell out PEACE under the tree, but I think Abby had gotten into them!! :)

Abby in Boots

While Wendi was home over Thanksgiving she helped me get all 4 of Abby's boots on her and man did we have a good laugh!!! I don't know if it will ever happen again because Abby wasn't too fond of her boots!

Abby trying to walk.....too funny!

Thanksgiving

So we are compeltely "un-traditional" this year and went out to eat for dinner! But it was good & we had a nice time! We went to the Starlite here in Fort Dodge with my Dad, Grandma, Grampo, Wendi, and her boyfriend Jake. Afterwards they all came over to our house to relax and for a little more pie!! :) Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and now we have to get ready for Christmas, only 25 days, 14 hours & 45 minutes, but who's counting!?!?

Getting Excited

So on Sunday I decided I was ready to get my Christmas decorations out!! We are not having Thanksgiving at our house this year so I thought it would be ok! This will be the first time ever that I have decorated before Thanksgiving! I still haven't got my tree up, but this is the next best thing! I purchased this after Christmas last year and couldn't wait to put it up this year! It is the Willow Tree Nativity Set....I just love it! I think want to add some lights or something to dress it up a little! Anyway hope everyone is having a great week and an even better Thanksgiving!

Brian Regan

Kyle & I went to one of our favorite comedians last night in Des Moines. His name is Brian Regan and he is absolutely hilarious!! You can check out his website www.brianregan.com for to hear some of his jokes! Brian has good, clean humor! He is great, this was our 2nd time seeing him in person and hope he comes back to Iowa again & again!

Nationals In Omaha

Wendi's volleyball team made it to the National Tournament and it was in Omaha!! By the way, Wendi is my youngest sister and she goes to college in Florida at Southeastern University (for those of you who don't know!) So we took a few days off work and headed over to cheer on the SEU Fire!! Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, except one of Abby!! Doesn't it look like she is driving....too cute!

The girls ended up making it to the final four teams and lost in in the semi-finals. It was exciting that they made it there though, great job girls!!

Baby Shower for Zach

My co-works and I threw a baby shower for anothe co-worker who had a baby in September. We went with the duck theme becuase I have a lot of duck decor from previous showers! We had a great turn out and Zach got lots of new things!

Angie & Jill tend to dress alike!

New Sweater for Abby!

So I broke down and had to get Abby a sweater!!! And I have to say I think she looks too cute in it! She went a little crazy when I put it on her, I wish I had a video camera so you could see, it was quite entertaining!

100,000

I wish I was talking $$$, but nope, miles! Both of our vehicles turned over in the same week, crazy!! I'm sure you all of you were so anxious to see this!!! :) Just had to put it up!! Abby was there to witness this event too, so I had to get her pic!
