holiday season!

thanksgiving break was so nice. I am sad that it is over already. we had a good visit in colorado and enjoyed some much needed rest and relaxation. thanksgiving dinner was delicious as always and we all ate way to much! we did a number of things while we were there...

like practicing our break dancing skills

jared got a couple of taekwondo lessons from a very cute 5 year old

ate cute turkey's made out of candy

put together a very hard 1000 piece snowman puzzle

and set up my parents christmas tree the morning before we left. we also went and saw the christmas carol movie which was pretty cute and ate at a fun japanese restaurant where they cooked right in front of you.

I remember last year writing about black friday shopping and how I would never do it again, so of course we got up at 4:30am to see what kind of deals we could find. my younger sisters had never been before so i told them all about how crazy it was and how long you had to stand in line and how many people push and shove. we went to walmart first and only waited in line for 5 minutes, then we made our way to kohls, were there was NO ONE in the store, it was crazy.

I love christmas time and yes, I am one of those people who set up my tree and decorate the day after thanksgiving.

I love willow tree's and I told jared each year for Christmas he can get me one piece of the willow tree nativity scene till I have the whole set. well my parents found this set on ebay for a really great deal and so they went in on it with jared and got it for me for my birthday in june. I have been so excited to set it up for christmas. I love it!

My younger sister gave us these stocking holders for christmas, and they work perfect! I love having our stockings hanging up. I cant wait to see what santa puts in them this year :)

and we cant forget the christmas tree. I bought this my first semester of college. Its little but fits perfectly in our tiny living room.

only 3 weeks left of school till christmas break!
