It's CHRISTMAS!

We decided to Christmas right this year. Last year we had just moved in and we did a little to feel the spirit, but we were still unpacking and setting one more thing up sounded just annoying. 

This year we got out all of our decorations and spent a few days setting up for the Olly Jolly Holliday.

We will need a bigger fake tree soon.

Grand Canyon stop off

After spending Thanksgiving with Christie and her family, we headed out early black Friday (after some crazy black friday shopping with Chris!)

The trip home was TERRIBLE. We decided to drive during the day, which we will NEVER do again. We made it to the Grand Canyon just as the sun was setting on the 2nd day, which was quite a disappointment. Brent and I (and the kids) were tired and grumpy. But we managed to put on a few smiles to prove we had been here.
