Christmas!

Technically tomorrow is the first day of December, so this post is not too early...  If you really know Cassie and I you'll know that I set up our Christmas tree right after Halloween, Cassie left for a week to go slide in Canada, and I realized that I was going to be so busy and have so may other fun things to do that I wouldn't have time later, and I was right...


So here are the pictures of our Christmas set up:
We have three stockings because my brother lived with us last year and he doesn't have the awesome Christmas decorating skills that I possess...  So we kept his at our house... (Haley, Josh, Cassie is the order...  Cassie and I have angels because we are pretty angelic)
This is my pride and joy!  I love our tree so much because everything matches!  I like classy white/clear lights and everything on our tree is silver and most of it glitters!  Big snowflakes and icicles.  I really like when things all fit into one color palate it makes everything look so put together!  (This picture was taken in the dark so you can see the glow...)
My mom and dad gave us this wreath last year because it was our first Christmas with a house to put it on!  This door is perfect for the wreath :)
I had this tree when I was an undergrad in my room, now it is our second tree, in the kitchen!

These snowflakes come from the ornaments that are on our big tree, but it looks crowded with all the ornaments on it, so I hung these as you are going down the stairs to our apartment...

Thanksgiving, etc

Thanksgiving was really fun this year.  I got to go to my parents house in South Carolina for a few days which was nice because I have never really been there, since they have lived there and owned the house (I saw the house before it was actually theirs).  But here are some photos from Thursday-Friday

My dad let me drive his car!  I hadn't ever seen it, but it was so fun to drive
A mini photo shoot after the drive, I mean I had to get pictures of me looking cute in the new(ish) car!
Then we busted out guitar hero and taught my dad how to play!  It was actually really fun, I hadn't played since this summer when Landon and I used to play all the time
After my really long flights home, Cassie and I went down to the Revelli's where they had been crafting all day (I am so sad that I missed it all!)  But we did get some fun stuff done on the cricut.  If you have never used one of these they are AWESOME!  I want one really badly.  So we made this Haley & Cassie for our living room.  And me being my predictable self (for those that know me really well this is totally predictable...)  I made a monogram to put in my room!  I think everything turned out really well...

Steph made a super cute name sign for Micah's room, it was adorable, but I didn't take my camera so, no picture!

Utah v. TCU

Tonight, Tasha, Osiris, Brett and I went to the Utah game.  I had to wait in line on Monday morning for about 2 hours to get these tickets!  When I got to the front of the line they only had general admission tickets for $25 and my student ticket for free.  So the tickets were standing room only which technically means you don't have a seat but really everyone in the student section stands so we went down to a row and just sat there for the game.  To be honest, the game was kind boring until the last 2:40.  

The score was 10-6 with TCU winning when they missed two field goals, which was awesome because we really needed them to miss those field goals!  We got the ball back and drove down the field and scored a touchdown which was miraculous because we hadn't scored a touchdown the entire game!  

It was such a great game, it was totally worth waiting in line for all those hours in the cold on Monday morning....  

Thanks for coming guys!!
 
The final score!!
Rushing the field, BLACKOUT!

The boys and their hair, they have a bet to see who will not cut their hair the longest... This is their hair currently...

First Snow of the Season...

We had the first snow of the season this week, Monday I believe... here is what it looked like!
My car covered in snow!

The front yard

Our porch...when I got home there was about 3 more inches on the deck...

Pumpkin post, a little late...


The pumpkin I carved on Halloween at the Revelli's!  It took me about 2 hours!  But it looks super cool!!
