Staying up all hours of the night making hand crafted stockings..................PRICELESS!!!

I decided this year that we needed stockings in our apt! So I went on a search for the cheapest stuff I could find. I "surprised" Farrari and Eric with the great news that we were going to decorate stockings and hang them above our T.V. (it's the closest thing we have to a fireplace...) Initially I don't think they were as excited about it as I was but they humored me and made their stockings. It ended up being a lot of fun. When fofo and I made ours Eric had a TON of homework so he wasn't able to do his then but don't you worry, I got him later!

The final products.....
We are all so proud of our stockings. They turned a lot better than any of us could have hoped since none of us are very crafty. I was especially impressed with Eric's. He thought of his idea on his own and decorated it without complaining. (I think he liked it...) I love him. Farrari wants to use her's from now on as her permanent stocking for Santa to fill with all sorts of goodies.

DeCoRaTiNg!!!

Can I just tell you how much I looovveee Christmas? I love everything about it. I love the music, I love the snow (as long as I am not driving), I love the FOOD, but most of all I love the spirit of Christmas. It seems like when the Christmas season comes everyone is a little happier, kinder, and more giving. It definitely is the most wonderful time of the year.
Well this year for Christmas I decided we needed to decorate our apt. Vana gave Farrari and I her tree but we had no decorations so I went to the cheapest stores I could find (yes, thrift stores and dollar stores). Our tree is a little homely looking.... but we love it. We stayed up one night after Eric and I got off work and decorated it. It was so much fun!

Mom sent us each an ornament to put on the tree and a tree skirt to complete our little tree. They were super cute!! Thanks mom! We love you!!!
Fofo thinks she is soooo funny. I know I know, our children will not be lacking in the booty department.....
We are so proud of our little treeee!

What a Character

When I was home over thanksgiving break my family and I went to Vernal's Holly Days which is always so much fun. This year I helped Vana with her kids. Ian is old enough now that he knows what is going on and wants to be in on everything. He was HILARIOUS!! He was all over the place and wanted to do everything the girls were doing. It was freezing cold but it didn't seem to slow him down to much. We got him some cotton candy before they took off for home and it was quite the entertainment watching him try to eat it. He struggled but it made for a good laugh for the rest of us! He is quite the little character. It is amazing the personality this little guy has. I love him to death he makes me laugh so hard. I hope my boys are something like him.

Wyoming Football

So, Eric is a HUGE football fan (mostly college ball) his favorite team is the Wyoming Cowboys. Something about he played for them so he has to support them I dunno :). Well I decided I would surprise him and get him tickets to the WY vs. BYU game. So on October 23 we went to the game with Shan and Mike (who are BYU fans). It rained the whole game and was SOOOO cold but it was still a ton of fun! Unfortunately WY lost which made for a grouchy Eric...but we still had a lot of fun and now I can hold it over his head and make him take me to something girly! hahaha just jokes...but really...
