Let it Snow!

We are so excited for Christmas to be here! Its only a few weeks away and I'm so ready. Christmas shopping is done, presents are wrapped, tree is up, lights on, ornaments made, it's awesome! Chris and I made some homemade ornaments yesterday. I have to say, I love them! Its just flour, salt, water, food coloring, and then you cut out shapes and bake. We also had some ceramic ornaments, but they were all white, so we cheated and painted them with nail polish. Stinky house! And now our tree is gorgeous!

I'm kinda sad that we'll be here in Rexburg for Christmas too mostly because we won't be able to see family, but I'm so glad that we have so many friends that will be here, stuck in Rexburg too. So far the plans are to have a formal dinner party at a friends on Christmas Eve, it will be awesome. We'll probably just do Christmas morning at our house, just the two of us and skype our families. I love skyping with our families, it makes it seems like we're not so far apart. I'll be glad when school is over and we can see family more. Just over another year. Yes!

Chris has been working like crazy lately and working really hard in school. I love him for it. He has been so crazy busy and with all of the snow, I have been sewing a lot and just trying to keep busy. I started a new quilt this last week since I'm not aloud to really touch the one that Chris has started. He is doing really well on his quilt. So cute!

Our week after Thanksgiving has been going so well. Spending as much time together as we can. Birthing Classes. Cleaning the whole house. Setting up the baby's room some more. It feels like we've been getting gifts for Brenden almost every day this week.

I'm so ready for him to come already!

December

Today is the first day of December, and we all know what that means....Christmastime is so so so close! I am so excited for Christmas this year, even though we'll be spending it here in Rexburg because of Chris' lame work schedule. I'm just Thankful that we have so many great friends and that they'll will be stuck here with us.

Chris has been working really hard today to get the house all cleaned up. We had a blizzard last week and then Thanksgiving and Black Friday came and we just haven't been home enough to get it to just the way we like it. I'm so thankful that he's so willing to clean the house and do laundry for me on his days off. Its really a blessing.

So last week, Thanksgiving was so much fun, we practically made a whole week out of it. On Monday we had Family Home Evening with some friends playing a game called Minute to Win it. It was a blast! You have one minute to accomplish a certain task or you're eliminated.

I forgot the names to all of these, but basically this one there are 5 different size paper bags and with out using your hands you had to get the bags to the table behind you in less than a minute. The only part of your body that could touch the floor was your feet. It was a tough one, I assume. Being pregnant, my task was a lot easier. My bags were set up on the couch. Haha. Talk about easy.

This game you had a yo-yo strapped to yourself and had to knock over all of these plastic cups.

This game you had to mummify yourself in a roll of toilet paper without ripping it. Chris was amazing, I think he did in like 10 seconds or so.

We had a lot of fun with this, these are not all of the games we played, but for the most part its almost all the ones we took pictures of.
