Its begining to look a lot like CHRISTMAS!!! :)

I am sooo excited, we put the christmas trees <- yes TREES up on sun...i just love this time of year...it cludders my house a little more, but it is soooo festive! it is chilly and we had a cold rain this weekend, so it really does finally feel like winter! Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!! we did, the Cowboys went to 10-1 for the first time EVER I think!! YAYYYY!!!!

Friday I got up at 5 am to shop..OH HOLY COLDNESS!!! i got a GPS for fairly cheap, i really didn't NEED anything so what WAS I thinking, but I did have fun!! Came home fixed my cracker barrel potatos *yummmmm* and off to my dads for our Thanksgiving...I came home and CRASHED!!!

After going to visit Auntie Sky for her Bday we came home and worked on the tree! No pics of the Whole tree the house is still crazy from the empting of the christmas boxes...Why is it that to get festive, means to make a MESS?
