Thanksgiving weekend

Thanksgiving started out by spending some time with Matt's side of the family. Then we went to my parents house for the afternoon.

Christian was so cute and sweet with his newest cousin- Samuel.

There are so many cute kids between mine and Matt's family. They're just asking you to take their pictures. :)

And of course it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without football. Some of Matt's brothers and all his bro-in-law's came over to Mom's to play football with my brothers.

 
It was great spending our first Thanksgiving together as a married couple! Thanks to Anna for the pictures.

We went out on Black Friday and got some good deals. We also set up our first Christmas tree. It was very bare for the first week, but it looks much better now. I'll post pics sometime of it and the tree skirt I made. I was really happy with how it turned out.

On Saturday we had two birthday parties. We met up with Matt's family at the bowling alley for Jeremy's birthday.

We then went to Hannah's house for Adrian's birthday party. They let people ride two of their horses, which the kids (and adults) loved.

 It was a big deal for Caden to ride this horse!

 And that would be my husband. :)

It's hard to believe that Christmas is next week! I'm excited about it, but don't want it to fly by like everything else these days. I will try to be more faithful with posting on my blogs, but I can only try.



I've been busy with house things and also making some things to sell on Etsy. Hopefully we'll be able to open the store in January and everyone will get to see what my sis and I have been up to.

I've had these pictures uploaded for over a week now, but never got to writing and posting it. These are just a couple pictures I've taken over the past month. I hope to post pictures from Thanksgiving week soon.

We went out to Inglis one night to watch the sunset and there were these beautiful flowers amongst a lot of mud in a field.

This picture is from the first fire we had in our fireplace. We've now had three fires. I absolutely love snuggling up next to a fire with Matt and enjoying some amazing hot chocolate that Matt makes.

I've been wanting to take pictures of Matt and I in the lot behind our house. So far that hasn't worked out, but I did take a couple of shots without us.
