It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

We may have jumped the gun a little this year, but we decided to put up the Christmas decorations. It's my family's tradition to do it the day after Thanksgiving, but we'll be in Utah this year so now seemed as good a time as any. By far the worst part is digging through storage for the Christmas boxes, but luckily that job falls to Quentin :) Here's our little tree. Some day when we upgrade to a house we'll upgrade to a real-size tree, but this works for now. And here's a picture of me going through some stuff. Look closely and you can see Brady's car seat just waiting to be used sitting in the background.

Halloween

We didn't really do much to celebrate Halloween this year, but we did carve some pumpkins with the Jacobs! I was feeling pretty lazy though, so I just let everyone else carve and I picked out pumpkin seeds. Ours ended up looking a little like a Chinese man. They are not quite as intricate as last years, but we still had fun! I didn't take many pictures, so I mostly just stole these from Karen's post...thanks Karen!
