Christmas overload...

Festival of Trees

These are some of our favorites...


The Grinch


The Glass Tree!! It was amazing!


I went with my cousin, Melissa and her cute kids!


And our absolute favorite...



Twilight! There was apples and chess pieces on the tree. And there was a gift for each member of the family! It was really cute and creative!


Angel Tree Shopping
We are so blessed to come from such a great family! Especially one that is so willing to give to others and fortunate enough that we can do that! We love getting together with all my cousins to go shopping for other children! It's so fun to pick out their clothes and toys and to give them a wonderful Christmas!














I love these people!


Gingerbread House Party!

We have started a tradition! Every year since we've been married, we have had a gingerbread party at our house. We love it! We just invite a bunch of people, we provide the graham crackers and frosting and we have everyone else bring some candy to share. It is so much fun! We also have a contest every year and vote on our favorite. We give out 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes.



I didn't get pictures of the final projects, but everyone did a very good job! My sister got pictures, so maybe I'll post them later.
I got 1st place! Yeah!

Halloween at Grandma's!



Every year my Grandma Moss does a Halloween party were we have dinner, dress up, and carve pumpkins. It's always way fun, we love it! Thanks Grandma for all you do!

This year Remi and I decided to be Cruella Deville and a dalmation puppy. He didn't want to go full out with his costume this year so I just said, "I skinned Remi's legs for my coat"!
For trunk or treat we put dog kennels in the back of our car with pictures of dalmations in them. I didn't take any pictures on Halloween.

I went Skydiving!!!

Well INDOOR Skydiving that is.Remi took me indoor skydiving for my birthday (October 23, yeah I know I'm a procrastinator). He origianlly told me that we were going skydiving and I was literally freaking out! I kept saying, "I don't want to die on my birthday, I am not jumping out of an airplane"! He just kept going on and on about it and made believe that this is what we were going to do, I think I even started to cry a little bit because I did NOT want to go!! I told him, "I can't believe you are going to make me do something I don't want to do, on my BIRTHDAY"!! Well so much for surprises, I was so upset that I had to try and figure it out, because I still didn't completely believe him. So I talked to my brother and did some internet research and figured it out... (sorry babe).
Well we had a wonderful time! We went out to dinner at a place called Roosters and then went to I FLY, and then we went to a movie "Forever Strong" and I loved it! Thanks Rem for such a great birthday that I will never forget! I had a blast and I hope to go back soon to get some more flying lessons!
(I will try and figure out how to post our video later, so check back)

The Price is Right

Remi's sisters and my cousin and I are putting together some crafts for a boutique in November. If you had spending money for this sort of thing, would you pay more or less than $20 for it?
