Early Christmas Present!!!


When we got home from taking Jeff's parents to the airport Jeff said he had an early Christmas present for me. I tried to convince him to wait to give to me for Christmas but he couldn't stand it anymore. So he brought out small wrapped packages and I opened them one at a time. A flash, batteries, lenses, chargers, until finally came the big box....... I opened it and immediately started crying! It was a Nikon D5000, the one on the commercial with Ashton Kutcher! I was so surprised and excited. I have been wanting a Nikon for a while now but wasn't willing to spend the money (I have such buyers anxiety). What a wonderful early Christmas present! I played with it all night last night learning all of the cool things it can do, I still have A LOT to discover. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Jeff, I am the luckiest wife in the world!

Parents' Visit

My parents came to visit 2 weekends ago and Jeff's parents were here last weekend. We had an awesome time and it was so great to see family.

My Parents visit:

Mom and I put up the Christmas tree! I thought since she was here I would take advantage of it. I have been begging to put up the tree since halloween so now it's up. At first Jeff thought it was too early but once he saw the house decorated, he was happy to be in the Christmas spirit. I have to keep reminding myself that Thanksgiving has not come yet! : ) Jeff and my dad spent time together fishing in the pond in our neighborhood. We also went shopping and enjoyed restuarants in downtown Varina. I had a great time with you Mom and Dad, thanks for coming and I look forward to seeing you Thanksgiving!


Jeff's Parent Visit:

We spent time with Jeff's parents last weekend. We enjoyed a day of college football, grilling burgers and spending time outdoors. We went to Umstead State Park to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and fall foliage. Thanks for coming and we look forward to seeing you guys Christmas!


Haunted House







The haunted garage was a great success! We laughed all night as people had to be convinced to go inside and few seconds later ran out screaming for their lives. I wish we had it all on video! The boys had a great time scaring people as I played the hostess who led people inside. Madyson was a cute little cat who held the hands of little kids who were too scared to go in, unless she went with them. Since she saw the whole thing being put together and knew the boys inside, she wasn't the least bit scared. She spent the whole night saying, "It's not nice for daddy to scare these people." She is so precious! We all had a great time together and look forward to next year!

Halloween




Here are a few pictures of Jeff and Bear setting up Bear and Kate's garage for the trick-or-treating haunted house. Kate, Mady and I enjoyed caramel apples and pumpkin carving.
