Done Decorating & a New Jeep

 

We are done decorating! Chris took advantage of the nice weather and finished outside (I will take pictures once we turn them on AFTER Thanksgiving) and I finished the indoor trees - complete with a little revamp of the new Muppets Christmas Carol one.

The Disney plush tree lives again and it is obnoxious as ever. 

Chris had been talking about wanting a Jeep again. He loved his car, sporty and fun, but just wasn't AS fun as a Jeep. He started poking around before finding this gem. After he found it, it all happened rather quickly and we have a Jeep again! He will tweak it with the right add-ons as he goes along - which is always a fun process. 

We had to recreate Lucy's photo from last time!

Though the other car was very nice and fun to drive - we are ALL happy with the switch, we think it better suits us. 

Back to finish decorating... 

We had a neighborhood beer bus tour this weekend. I didn't take a lot of photos as it is very hard in a bumpy bus.  At one point we hit a bump and I literally flew 4 feet in the air. Luckily I had a seat to land back onto! It is always nice to run around with some friends, but we did have to cut the night early with a bloody nose from Chris - doesn't happen often anymore, but it happens. We took an uber home and didn't mind the early exit!

Chris won't pose for photos.

Trees are done!

This week will be busy but we are excited to head back to Omaha for our whirlwind visit for Thanksgiving! 

Christmas Trees

 

The house is looking more and more like Christmas! We decided to take the muppet Christmas carol characters and make a whole tree out of it. It is done for this year, but we will add things as we go along and fill it in more - our main issue is deciding what to put on it or not. I only decorated with agreed upon items. It was just fun to try to decorate with a new theme since we have been tired of the other set for awhile. 

Chris also got the fire place going and it really felt like a nice cozy Christmas day.

Rizzo randomly blocking the other TV and I think judging us?

The Disney tree also lives again. Lucy and I started it this weekend and hopefully will finish it over the next couple of days. 

Almost done decorating for Christmas! 

Halloween to Christmas!

 

Random boys photos...

Halloween was great! Lucy was able to have a friend over and they met up with the larger group to run around the neighborhood. 

Chris and I had some fun this year :) 

Later on in the night we headed to the Belciks for a fun party - complete with funny photo shoots. 

This was not on purpose. We were trying to figure out how to get into the bushes... We now know why everyone was dying laughing. 

And just like that the next morning after dropping Lucy's friend back home - we started decorating for Christmas! We managed to get most of the items hung up, but the trees are not done. Chris also got through the higher outdoor lights too! 

Prepping for Christmas also involves throwing our pumpkins in the forest for the animals to eat! It's Lucy's favorite part. 

The only appropriate costume Heidi has this year...

Chris also surprised me with this amazing set of muppets from the Christmas Carol. I know I was supposed to open it like an advent calendar - but we couldn't wait. 

It's Christmas time!!!
