Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

I was so happy to wake up to snow falling this morning... So Jake and I decided it was the perfect day to put up our quaint little tree...

Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving...

All the kids dressed up as indians...

Rosemarie (aunt), Suber (mother in law) and baby Grace.

This is pretty much what I did the entire day... waxing nostrils. And this here is my brave client, uncle Jimmy... You don't mind I put this up, right?

Jacob...

Does anyone else see the resemblace?

I did right off the bat.... And a few other friends and family members have told us that Jacob reminds them of my Jacob... You may have to know Jake to really see it. What do you think?

Thankful

Today I am so thankful for my husband. Super cheesy I know, but it's the time to give thanks, right? Below are some of the things that I am thankful for.

• The way he makes me laugh (especially when he turns on "Just like a prayer" by Madonna in the morning and does a full on dance routine)

• His kindness.

• His patience.

• How understanding he is.

• How I know that no matter what he'd always be on my side.

• His testimony.

• How he tucks me in everynight.

• That he teaches me new things every single day.

• That even though he hates tv he is ok with me watching it all the time.. Especially my trashy shows.

• That he thinks I'm funny.

• That he still thinks I'm pretty in the morning when my hair is insane and no makeup.

• That he doesn't get frustrated when I can't do simple things {cook a grilled cheese sandwich, open up things that have child protection, don't worry though, he is teaching me}

• That he would do anything to make me happy.

Weekend events

On thursday night the band Love You Long Time played their final show! Jake, myself and most of the crew went. It was so fun... I'm sad to see them go!

Then on saturday my aunt Amanda organized a lovely holiday boutique! There were alot of different vendors, Amanda sold clothing, hats, scarves, bags, pretty much everything you could ever want or need! My mother in law sold fabulous jewelry, watches, cards and ribbon. Other vendors sold makeup and hair products, goodies for babes, food and cooking recipes... It was quaint and nicely put together. I helped my mother in law all day, and it was a great turn out! Not to mention I picked myself up a few items... Including...

This delicious scensy!

Sooo excited for the holidays!

All the essentials for a drive up the Alpine Loop.

So pretty...

Halloooweeen
