it's beginning to look a lot like christmas.

can you believe it's already december 1st?
yowza, this year flew by!

the fam and i pulled out all the decorations over thanksgiving weekend.
it's our tradition to put the christmas tree up the day after thanksgiving.


{this is a horribly blurry picture of our tree.
i'm not sure why it's so blurry.
oh well, i was kinda hurrying around the house to get pictures to show you!}

and we gussied up the rest of our home too!


{we've been here 2 1/2 years and still haven't hung curtains...and won't.
this "treatment" will have to do for the next month or so. :o) }


{nevermind the mascara all over her face...she got into my make-up}











since hubs was in afghanistan last year i bought this ornament.


one of our oldest homemade ornaments.
i made this with my littlest sister when jake austin was just a baby.


my mom bought this one for us the year mckinley was born.
she bought a bunch of others too...but, they are clay and i'm scared to put them on the tree this year.
mckinley and jett still think ornaments are toys.




and, just for fun.
jett watching something on the tube.
