Choir Concert

A holiday presentation by the high school choir! The best high school choir we have ever heard!He wasn't super happy to go, but he enjoyed the concert and.... I know it was good for his little BAH-Humbug self!!! ;)

The piano player has been with this choir for 18 years and travels with the to Disneyland for the national show! WOW.... who would have thought that a choir did this!?

My dad and I all dressed up and looking nice!

We all went and picked out a live, beautiful Christmas tree!

Chris actually found this one and we all loved it! It fit PERFECT!
After the kids strung the lights we ALL decorated it. Needless to say, my dad had done so well it was everyones favorite!!!

The decorations were amazing and the tree was so fun to decorate!

Adding some finishing touches! :D
My favorite! The little elves in the windows!!!
Paige added even more around the house and now you can't help but to feel so happy when you walk in!

Shopping in PORTLAND

What a day of fun....

Here is all of us girls across the street from Saks Fifth Ave.
Just outside there was a man playing on plastic drums, he was very very good. There was a man tieing ballons and a bagpipe player.
My favorite was the statue! I had know idea that he was real when I walked by until everyone was taking pictures. :D

Just after lunch! We all felt so much better.

My Birthday and THANKSGIVING!

Everyone knows that we have two birthdays and Thanksgiving all within a couple days. I love every minute of it.

I worked my birthday and when I got home my dad and Paige had left this on our door. :D It made me feel so loved!!!

As I walked inside, Chris said hi to me and that my gift was on the bed. I got knew boots and a blanket! I was suprised to get a blanket considering that he wanted me to get rid of some before we moved to Oregon. What a turd!!!
I got these beautiful Sterling Silver earrings from my dad and Paige. They are beautiful on.

I also got a "DELUX" pampering kit from them as well (a mink blanket (simulated), a yummy smelling bath shower gels and lotion set, calf warmers, and black fuzzy flip-flop slippers! I received money from grandparents and family! THANK YOU. Bought myself a B-E-AUTIFUL car coat. (You'll see it in the pictures from our trip to Portland). I was also given money for a plane ticket home from Chris's mama! :D

Paige did an amazing and beautiful job hosting Thanksgiving. We loved it.
The table was very put together and and proper. :D First time I have had this type of setting for Thanksgiving. We even all got our own name placing!
The turkey was not only nice to look at but it was 'juicy, tasty, moist' and a little more. It's been a since a turkey like this.

STUFFED, HAPPY, and ready for a nap. Zzzzzz!!!!
Curt making mashed potatoes. (Sorry it's out of place!)
After dinner Chris and I got to pull the Wish Bone. He won and won't tell me what he wished for.

It was a great Thanksgiving and the only thing that could have made it better would be having our family and close friends here to enjoy the holidays with us!
