LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW

The Shrubbery by our house

They say it was a freak storm and that Vegas has not seen this much snow in decades. However, it is now a comfortable 60 degrees during the day.

Jump Starting

Despite the Christmas pumpkin's we still haven't been much in the Christmas mood. It might be the warm weather or the fact the the leaves have just recently changed color. So we decided that if Christmas would not come to us, then we would go to Christmas. We spent last weekend in Beaver visiting my grandparents. We went and looked at Christmas lights, helped decorate the tree, and went into the mountains and cut down our own tree to take home with us. We even saw snow! It was nice to relax especially since last week was finials week, which went fine. I also some how had time to decorate the whole house, read a book and do almost all of my Christmas shopping. So here is the before and after pictures of the tree.

More Christmas

Let me begin by saying that I LOVE pumpkins. So every October I go and buy the perfect pumpkin. Well this year I didn't carve my pumpkin. So it sat at my house all October long and come November Justin decided that It needed thrown away. So I explained to him that pumpkins are not only Halloween decorations that they are Thanksgiving decorations too. He gave in and the pumpkin was spared. Well come December Justin decided that since Thanksgiving was over, the pumpkins should go. I argued that they are not bad yet and should get to stay. I temporarily won that fight, but decided that I needed to have a back up plan and lo and behold CHRISTMAS PUMPKINS.

Plus these are my newest Christmas decorates, You can thank Jess for taking me to Pier One!

Grandmas Christmas Decorates she gave us

These are the first Christmas Ornaments that I have bought since we have been married, I inherited most of my Christmas decorations from my College friends. And the plate is one my Grandma gave us.

This is one of the baby blankets I made, I don't know what I am going to do with it but for now it is going to live at my house so that when babies come over to visit I have a blanket.

New pillows for my couch

And the bed

RENO

We spent the holiday in Reno, it was fun to see all the family. Justin, My Grandparents and I started the trip at 4:00am Thanksgiving morning. We arrived in Reno that morning and spent it talking, playing with the kids and taking naps. We ate Thanksgiving dinner and watched Gilmore Girls. Friday, Michele and I got up early (around seven) and went shopping. I found lots of good stuff, most of it was for me! We all went to Katy's work for dinner that night and then Michele, Katy and I went to see twilight! I liked it just as much the second time. Saturday there was more shopping and Sunday we went to church, finished some sewing projects and did homework. Oh, the guys went golfing while we went shopping. It was nice, somewhat relaxing and a good break from school. I have two weeks left and then the fun will really began.
