8. Easiest person to buy for? I'd have to say Braiden right now because he can't tell me what he really really wants so i pick out stuff like toys that will teach him words, numbers colors, or clothes. Stuff like that

9. Hardest person to buy for? I'd have to say everyone else because they always say, "I don't know" or "I don't need anything" It's annoying!!!

10. Mail or email Christmas cards? I like them all but if i absolutely had to pick i'd have to say mail christmas cards, but if you don't have the money definately email cards! I have to this year because my printer is dumb!

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Depends, if i feel like doing it i do it really early, almost like christmas in July, or i just wait until mostly everything i like goes on sale and that's usuallly the beginning of december I wirte a list of things i want and my family early and keep an eye out for it and get it all done in one day instead of dinking around the store looking, because i can dink around for hours and then my whole day is shot! No Good!

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas Gift? No i never had done that unless it was something i already had or didn't want them i'd give it to someone else that might have that taste OR i would give it to D.I. another man's trash is another man's treasure! Right?

These were in the windows, and they all moved in some way

The disney, seseme street, and charlie brown window, they all moved too



That was the coolest house i have ever seen. I guess they do it every year. i didn't get pictures of braiden with santa because we didn't have any cash on us, but they had cute little gift shops outside where you could buy ornaments, snow gloabes, all kinds of stuff! it was really cool

Riding!

We got to go to Bucher Jones to go riding! It was so much fun! Braiden loved it! I had him in his carrier and rode with me. He was yelling for his daddy to show him he could ride a quad just like him! It was the cuttest thing i ever seen. We had so much fun! Thank you Chad and Nacole for taking us out!

Hills the guys would ride over! yeah big i know!

Christmas Cookies!

My sister-in-law Kristy invited me to come make christmas cookies at my mother-in-law's house! I had to work and didn't get off until 4 and didn't get there until 5 so they were done making them pretty much so I missed out but, I got to take a plate for my family and a plate for my Mom! We loved the cookies! You guys did a wonderful job!

Gift for Chase and Jenny Kempton

This is Chase Kempton my sister-in-law's Baby boy! Isn't he adorable? He looks just like his Big Brother Katon and his Sister Kayla.

This is the gift i made her! It's a Nursing Cover or as other people would know it as a "Hooter Hider!"

Cute finishing touch of a button

And look it's reversable!


I have always wanted one but I did not want to spend $40 to get one so my husband said I should just make one, so I put my thoughts together and went and bought material I liked and the D-rings and made it! It was so easy too! Ever since I got pregnant I wanted to make one, when i found out I lost the baby I decided to give Jenny this one, but I made myself another one for when we have another little one! I am so excited! I will post pictures of mine too. I am so proud of myself! If any of you want one, get the matieral and rings and i would be more then happy to make you one!

Happy Birthday Tori!

Birthday shout out to my cousin Tori! Happy 21st birthday girlfriend! We love you and hope you had a wonderful birthday! Sorry i couldn't find a better picture!

Our Christmas Tree

So it was totally funny trying to get a tree on top of my car from target on Gilbert Rd and Southern to Mill Ave and the US60! We didn't take the freeway because the tree was like moving around up there, so we took southern all the way home!

It was Mom and Braiden's turn to put the star on this year!
