Catch up!

Well seeing as how the last post I have on here was of Thanksgiving I have a little catching up to do, like all the happenings of the month of December!

A Tree For Cindi

So I went shopping at the after Thanksgiving sales and got this prelit tree at Walmart for 25$ Then the next day I took it up to my cousin Cindi's apartment and surprised her, my mom and I got the decorations for it and yes we even found purple ornaments (Cindi's absolute favorite color), it was so fun seeing the joy in her face that this simple little surprise brought to her!

This picture says it all! I'm so glad you love your purple tree, Cindi :-)

Happy Thanksgiving

So it was another wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma's this year...I am so thankful for such a special Grandmother who takes such good care of her family!

So my cousin Brandon, who is 3,could not wait for dinner, he was the first one at the table and sneaking food off of it before the blessing was said and when no one was looking, but I caught him in the act! All he could say was "Tami you sitting by me for dinner" and I responded with "Of Course!" :-)The fam sitting at the long table getting ready to eat

The yummy fantastic food!

It was Alicia's birthday this year on Thanksgiving so her and Michael went to her families this year but they came over later on that night to spend a little time with us and for her to open her birthday presents

Primary Program

We had the Primary Program in my ward back on November 23rd and well I was so proud of my kids, they had all their parts memorized completely! The theme this year was I Am A Child of God so they had all the kids draw pictures of themselves to put on the programs. So cute! We have this one little girl in our primary who is absolutely amazing, this girl can sing let me tell you! Her name is Anna and she is eight years old but she has the talent of years and years of experience in her little powerful voice. She sang the first and last verses of I Am A Child Of God, solo into the microphone and well I don't think there was very many dry eyes in the audience, I know I had tears streaming down my cheeks and goosebumps all over my arms. So beautiful and such a talented little girl! It was a very spiritual meeting and one I will never forget! I am so grateful for my calling and absolutely love it!

Snow Time. . .

It was snowing today as I was leaving for work this morning and well it was just so pretty outside that I had to stop and take a few pictures :-)

A Fun Visit...

My good friend Krystal and her little boy Spencer came down for a visit this past Monday morning. It was so fun to get together and catch up! We went over to Kneaders and had breakfast and then came back to my house and visited for a bit. Spencer so enjoyed seeing our cats George and Whiskers. Before we went to breakfast he got to see both cats but when we came back only George was around, but Spencer wasn't satisfied with only one, he knew there was two and wanted them both to be there. He kept calling for "George" over and over again, even when George was right beside him, but he was actually looking for Whiskers. I think if George could talk he would have been saying "Hello, I'm right here next to you" :-) Krystal and I got quite the kick out of him running around the yard calling for George while looking for Whiskers, with George trotting right beside him the whole time! It was so dang cute and absolutely hilarious to me :-) Thanks Krystal for a fun morning, I'm so glad you guys came down to see me!

Trunk or Treat

Well I can now officially say that I have participated in a Trunk-or Treat! I didn't really quite know how to decorate my trunk exactly so I just pulled out my big tub of decorations I used to decorate my office with and well just went with whatever. Not too bad for my first try :-)

Ya so I had this tablecloth I put down as a background and that little pumkin in the middle was battery powered so it looked really cool all lit up, I had a few of those in there. And well not too bad of a selection of candy either, eh?

These are two of my primary kids dressed up... Samantha the Witch (my cousin) and Darth Vader Dax! They're so cute!

This is Derek aka Darth Vader. He is not smiling but as I was informed "Darth Vader never really smiles" So true, he was taking his role very seriously! :-)

A fun Surprise, my brother and sister-in-law stopped in at the trunk or treat to show us their costumes before they went to their Halloween Party! Michael was quite enjoying himself dressed up as a Scottishman from Braveheart (one of his all time favorite movies) and Alica was a... well you know, a lady from that time period! :-) Ya so the trunk or treat was a complete success except for the fact that it did start to rain part way through getting everyones trunks just a tad bit soaked! Oh well that does not stop the FUN by any means!

Relaxing Afternoon. . .

So I only had to work a half a day yesterday on Halloween, which was so NICE! After I got home I decided I would go out and take some more pictures in the yard. Each day the leaves are changing more and more and well I love trying to capture the beauty of it all!

I love our apple trees with the mountains in the back ground!
