Thanksgiving= done, now Christmas season has begun!

Yeah, I know... what an awesome rhyme *haha*. Thanksgiving was another busy one- we started off at my aunt's in Irvine and then headed up to Arrowhead to spend some time with Bobby's family. We are thankful for a countless number of things- God has truly blessed us.

When we got home we immediately got into the Christmas spirit. Our humble little apartment is now all ready for Christmas! We went to Home Depot to pick out a tree instead of cutting one down this year to save a little dough (I may have bought a little more Christmas decor than Bobby anticipated causing my compromise).



Here is the tree all decorated.



Pixie was very curious about the tree. She spent a lot of time just sitting under it. Before we knew it she was chewing on the pine needles, drinking the water, and swatting the ornaments. Not to mention sliding across our coffee table and knocking over decorations. She really has a mind of her own. Here she is, pretending to be innocent.



And here she is, proving she's not. Apparently as a cat it is WAY better to hang from the top of the screen door than to look through the bottom of it. Maybe she was just trying to get a good look at the lights Bobby was hanging? Either way- she is pretty wild.

Almost Thanksgiving!


I couldn't be any happier that the holiday season is here! I looooove the holidays! Today we are going to celebrate Thanksgiving with Bobby's dad's side of the family. On Thursday (the actual day of Thanksgiving) we are going to go to my mom's side in the early afternoon and then up to Arrowhead for Bobby's mom's side. Holidays are pretty exhausting for us because we have a lot of places to be. But we love it! We took some pictures for a Christmas card last weekend. I am so excited for Friday evening because that's when Christmas decorations will be going up in the Ward apartment!! On Sunday we will go and cut down our Christmas tree. Then we have a whole month long of festivities to do. I am certain that Bobby is just as excited as I am (Okay, probably not- but he does a really good job pretending!).
