I was so excited to decorate for Christmas this year with the decorations I bought the day after Christmas last year. I was especially excited about my tree skirt (on the bottom) that I made yesterday (with the help of my Mom, thanks mom!) from a table cloth I bought last year when I couldn't find a skirt I wanted for a decent price. I really like how it turned out. I'm also way excited about my plate holder.The pray sign is in there because I havn't found anything for the third place yet. I'm hoping to find a cute sign soon. The santa/snow man statue I got yesterday because I loved them and they were 25% off. Though I'm not as talented as many people who's blogs I look at, our house feels christmasy. Oh, I didn't post a picture of our tree because Monster got into it again after I fixed it and it doesn't look quite right.

We gave Leon his Christmas presant today. It was probably my favorite part of Christmas so far. For those Parsons who contributed but couln'd attend, here's the video. It's kind of long, sorry, but I didn't want to miss anything. It's not a fabulous recording but you can see how happy he is. It's really sweet.

These are some of the mountains out in Arco/Moore area


So we did a $5,000 new TV instal out in Hammer (sp) Idaho. and while I was out at the van unloading some of the smaller stuff (surround sound and Blu-ray) while Fred was with the customer I see this cat, and said a little hello to it and that was it for then. later we came back out to the van to get the TV and there was that cat sitting on the dashboard in the van just chilling. So I go to get my camera while it jumped down, so I got this picture.

Then as I was taking pictures out pops this second cat. and then a third was hanging around the back doors.

Part of the family at thanksgiving, and I caught Alie off guard. haha

Dad was pretty darn beat. he just sat down and then whamo! he was out like a light.

Ellie playing peak a boo with the camera, way cute.

I didn't quite get the picture but Sarah was just zoned out with her nose resting on the garbage can staring at its contents. I got the camera out just as she pulled away.

Brett heating up the oil to make some fried turkey!!!

Monster is a monster and lives in our Christmas tree. As well our house is covered in tree needles. on the kitchen floor, bathroom, tops of cupboards, in the bed and on the couches.

Monster managed to get on top of the door in our bedroom. He always finds new perches to hang out on
