Christmas is coming...

Christmas is one of my very favorite times of the year. I love looking forward to decorating the house and celebrating the true meaning of Christmas each year. Here are some pretty pictures of the house coming along during this magical time of the year! Brayden is such a big helper!!

CiViL WaR

This year we were at the beach for Thanksgiving during the civil war. We ended up at the golf course restaurant to watch the game. As the majority of you who are reading this know we are a "divided household", but Jarrod let me dress Brayden in OSU gear! Even though the Ducks won we still had a good time...

Fogle Family Thanksgiving

This year Jarrod's parents invited us to spend Thanksgiving with them and the whole family in Lincoln City at a BEAUTIFUL beach house. My mom had to work and since my brother and his wife and kids were flying out for Christmas we knew we probably wouldn't be able to spend much time with Jarrod's side of the family during that time. The weather was amazing and we had so much fun!! 

2nd Annual Friends Thanksgiving

As you grow older, start your own families, move away and make your personal family traditions... it's easy to put friendships on the back burner. That is why last year we started our annual Friends Thanksgiving! With amazing food and company second to none this is an event we look forward to each and every year and is such a fun tradition. This year it grew substantially from last, but that's the best part... making new friends and maintaining everlasting friendships. 

2011 Friends Thanksgiving 

Oregon State Wins!

A while back I got a call from my good friend Alyssa saying she had an extra ticket to the Oregon State game and wanted to know if I wanted to join... I of course said yes... but only after my amazing husband agreed to watch Brayden for the night. So, I met up with Alyssa, her sister Mari-Beth and her husband Joe. We had so much fun and it brought back a lot of memories! Thanks so much Alyssa for inviting me and letting me tag along! Love you guys! You can read more about our trip and see more pictures HERE on Alyssa's blog :)
