Fun Weekend

This weekend was full of family fun!

On Saturday we took Blake to see his first movie in the theatre...BOLT...which he enjoyed, but I felt sorry for the people that sat next to us...he had a hard time staying seated:)

On Sunday we took our little man 4-wheeling! This is by-far his favorite thing to do! My dad works for a man that loves ATVs and he is very generous and lets us use them! Everyday Blake wakes up and says..."I want to call Grampy to go 4-wheeling."

So Grampy made Blake's wish come true again and all 6 of us (Grammy, Grampy, E, Me, Mike and Blake) went on a ride through the woods!

He is a little dare devil and always wants Mike to go faster and does not like for Daddy to hold onto him. I am in for it...he is ALL boy!

Cookie Exchange

Hannah and I hosted our annual Christmas party last week at my house! This year we did a cookie exchange and had a great time tasting everyones yummy treats and visiting with old and new friends from church:) So here are a few pics...we had a blast!

Our fabulous friends:)

This year we played a game and the winner won this handmade tassel! (I have recently learned how to make these fun tassels and am hooked...they are sooo cute and fun to create)

And the another friend won this cutie! I did not want to give it away:( I guess I will have to make another!

Garland Show and Tell

The Nester is having a garland show and tell so I thought I would show you mine! I did my mantel completely different this year and am thrilled with the outcome:)

I also have garland on my TV armoire!


Merry Christmas and come back soon...I will be giving a Christmas Tour of our home!

(And see below...I posted pics of the business I decorated for the holidays)

Holiday Decorating

Several of you have asked to see pictures of my first (paid) decorating job! So here you go. I was asked to do the Holiday decorating for this business thru a referral from a friend! Thanks Amanda:) The owner celebrates Hanukkah and so I tried to give the office a festive look without looking too Christmasy. So I used the greenery that they had and spruced it up a bit with ribbon and bows! And this is how it turned out...

Front Desk...

They wanted a place to display their holiday cards....so I hung sashes of ribbon for them to pin the cards on.

The fireplace in the foyer...



He likes lights wrapped around this sculpture...

A few more deer in a conference room...

It was lots of fun and hopefully I will have more jobs like this in the future!

Halloween Fun

Halloween this year with Blake was sooo fun! We started the day off by going to a party that morning at a friends house and ended the day with a second party at another friends home:) Lots of fun, fellowship and great memories! Blake got into the whole trick or treating thing and would say "Na" when it was his turn for some candy! True to character:) Here are some photos of our little pony and his friends!
