CHRISTMAS TREE

Getting our Tree out this year was a little bit of a disaster!!! the lights on the tree were off in a few sections I remember this happening last year and the year we bought it. It is supposed to be a tree that if one light goes out they still work. To top it off it wasn't a cheap tree we paid a lot for it, but every year it is a joke to get it out. We finally decided that it was not worth getting frustrated and annoyed every year so off we went to wal mart and bought a different tree came home and got it up in about 10 minutes and we were able to get it all decorated hopefully it will make it much nicer to put up. Libby had a lot of fun this year putting her tree up and I like it up this year because I have yet to find her ornaments broken somwhere. Now I just need to get all of our presents wrapped!

Thankful

So with THANKSGIVING being tomorrow I just want to name a few of the many things I am thankful for!

1- Scott he is such a good husband and amazing daddy! He works so hard to provide for me and Libby and to make it possible for me to be a stay at home mom. He loves to play with Libby and I think it is so cute my favorite is when they play Barbies Libby had to go get a boy Barbie for when daddy was home to play. He is truly the best and I would be lost without him.

2- Libby she brightens my day no matter what. She loves to cuddle and that's the perfect ending to the day. She is such a girly girl and I love it. She always manages to come up with the funniest things to make us laugh. I even love her little attitude.

3-Friends what in the world would I do without them! I am so grateful for the incredible friends I have. I love when we have girls nights and can all get together and chat they are the best to be able to just call and complain to.

4- Lucy she is the most adorable little dog and we love her. She keeps Libby company and plays so good with Libby. She has the best little personality and loves to play. My favorite is how she is always right there to greet us as soon as we get home. When Scott comes home from work she goes nuts.

5- Family I feel lucky to have such a close family. I am so happy that I can live close to family that is always around and there for us. I am so grateful for my Grandma and Grandpa who have helped Scott and I so much. I am extremely lucky to have the aunts and uncles I do they have always been there for me especially in this last 5 months.

6- My home I am so grateful to have my home. I love coming home to cuddle in my bed or to cook in my kitchen. I feel so lucky to still have my home right now when so many people are losing their homes.

7- Scott's job I feel so blessed that Scott has such a good job in this rotten economy.

Cookies

Libby always wants to make cookies so the other day we made a whole bunch of sugar cookies. I bought a great big box of cookie cutters at walmart to make things fun. Libby wanted to make all kinds of different shapes we had hearts, stars, cowboy hats, cowboy boots, cars, snowmen, pumpkins, flowers, and butterflys honestly I think we had 1 of everything. I thought it was funny that she wanted to make the cowboy hat and boot for Scott I don't why she relates that to him but I thought it was very cute!

SNOW

Libby and Lucy were both so excited for the SNOW I can't say I was to thrilled though. Libby woke up and saw the very little SNOW we got and wanted to make a snowman and by the time we got her all bundled up there was no SNOW left. Later in the day when it started dumping SNOW Libby said "mom I am so happy for the blizzard out there" so we bundled her all up and out she went to play. Lucy just kept running and running and biting the SNOW this is her first time seeing SNOW and she loves it I had to make her come in and shut her doggie door to keep her in the house. I had a hard time getting any pictures because they both just kept running but here are a couple. I think I need to go find Lucy a coat!

Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween this year. I was very sad that Scott had to work because we always dress up as something fun I was grateful he got home at eight and got to spend a little time with us. We started our night off by going to Trunk or Treat with Jacqueline and Paiges ward and then we headed to my Mom's ward for their Trunk or Treat Libby got lots of Candy. My Grandma always makes yummy soup so we usually end there eating dinner and Trick or Treating in her neighborhood. Libby LOVED the idea of getting all that candy and of course had so much fun with all of her cousins. Here are some pictures of all of our costumes.

Libby insisted on being either a Pumpkin or Candy Corn!!
