Decorating for the holidays

We put up the Christmas Tree today! I love it. It looks so nice. I just added lime green in to my living room decor, so I had to go out and get some new lime green ornaments to go with the theme. We hung the stockings over the fireplace. Austin was at Grandma's house when we were decorating. when he got home he walked in with his mouth wide open and said "whoa Nice" It was so funny!!


My Mom and I went shopping on black Friday and we had a blast. we shopped for 7 hours straight! I got Austin all done for christmas and a few other people done too! My Mom Bought us new curtains for the living room. and new pillows for the couch! We love them!!

I love the new lime green accents with the teal blue!! Now if we could only find a way to make all the toys disapear!! Something tells me Austin would not be too happy with that idea!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We are getting ready to travel to Dave's family in Montello. We are excited to see Ellen and baby Jackson. Dave's sister is home from college. It will be nice to see everyone.

Got my newspaper this morning and mapped out the sales for Black Friday shopping!! Call me crazy, but I love it! It is my hunting season. Hunting for the best deals and beating the rush to get the limited items in the store. There are a bunch of great deals this Friday. I am looking at getting a bunch of stuff for Austin, and get his Christmas shopping done!!

I hope you all have a Blessed Holiday with your family and I am Thankfull and Blessed to have each of you in my life

The Holidays are here!!

We are busily getting ready for the holidays at our house. We are hopping to put the Christmas lights up on Thanksgiving Day. That is if the snow that fell this morning goes away and the roof is clear! We are planning on going to Dave's Parents house in Montello for Thanksgiving. The drive there is about an hour and forty min. the car trip is not a fun experience as Austin hates long car rides. He gets really ancy and does not like to be strapped down for too long! He has to always be on the move! Dave's Grandparents, Don & Karen Ross gave Austin his Christmas present a little early this year! They got him a dvd system for the car. It has been a lifesaver. We just pop a dvd in and away we go. He does not make a peep!! He loves watching Blues Clues and Yo Gabba Gabba on it. So Thank You very much Great Grandpa & Grandma!!
