It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

We have started all of our Christmas time festivities. The weekend after Thanksgiving, I always get the tree and most of the decorations up. This year was no different, we put the girls tree's up one night then worked on the big tree all weekend!







The weekend after Thanksgiving we went to see Santa. Layton was like a soldier in his lap. She would speak to him and would barely look at him. I don't think she was scared, she just didn't know what to think of him. Lydia asked him for a Barbie Camper and she asked for a pony for Layton! Afterwards we went outside and I attempted to try and get a decent picture of the girls. This was the best one and I actually think it's pretty darn cute! For our family right now, this is us. The girls are always acting silly and Dave and I just sit back and watch.

We made our Gingerbread house last week. I always love making one but my wonderful husband usually takes over the whole project. This year he had to share with Lydia, she really enjoyed it. Layton did care much for the decorating part but she did try and sneak in a few bites! They are so proud of it.

Crazy Weather

We are upon that wonderful time of year again when it will be 70 degrees one day and this the next.






We got our first snow of the year this week. It left almost as fast as it fell but it sure was pretty.
