Christmas time is just around the corner

This weekend All of us girls went to Houston to go to Garden Ridge. As you can see from the picture below we found a few items (Ha Ha). We left Edna around 7:40am. Yes we had to wait on Lisa no surprise she will be late to her own funeral. But all in all it was a good trip. We enjoyed it and need to do it more often.

Matthew finally got his birthday present from Aunt Lynn and Uncle Bobby. It's a marble racer. He was so excited, he said it was AWESOME! A big thank you to Aunt Lynn and Uncle Bobby.

As for Aubrey her gift was a shopping basket with boxes of food and some vegetables. She was Super Excited. She even puts her sunglasses on and says look at me mom I'm going grocery shopping. Another big thanks to Aunt Lynn and Uncle Bobby.

After all of the christmas shopping, I was ready to go home and decorate my house for the holidays. First thing I did was put up the Advent Calendar. The kids can't wait till december comes around so that they can have their candy canes from the snow man.

The Mantle without flash. I don't think this is the garland I used last year but I'm really proud of the mantle I think turned out cute.

The stocking hanging in the middle if for our dog Jack, but seeing how my niece called me last night asking if I wanted another dog like Jack, I do believe it will be Jack and Turbos stocking.

The mantle with flash.

The Christmas Tree close up without the flash. I found this bow at Garden Ridge and just had to have it. The white parts have peppermints with holly and berries on it and then the Candy Cane stripe on the the other streamer.

Full length of christmas tree without the flash. I took the pictures before I wrapped some christmas gifts. But you get the jist.

Happy Holidays! I know it seems early to decorate but with my CRAZY shcedule it was the only time I had to do it.
