My wonderful husband has been chomping at the bit to put the Christmas decorations up. Last year after Christmas, we were walking through Wal-Mart when we saw a 6 foot, pre-lit tree for half off! I had forgotten about the thing, but Brad remembered and put it up today.
I didn't realize how skimpy the tree looked until it was assembled. We always get a real tree for Christmas to put in the living room, but Brad has always wanted another tree that can be seen from the road in front of our house. So the skimpy tree will serve that purpose!
After that feat was accomplished, we headed over to Mom's to spend some time with them. So many leaves have fallen in their backyard and Bella (along with Sophie and Rosie) loves playing in them! Bella is in the Easter sweater, Sophie in the Christmas sweater, and Rosie is naked. :)
Don't you just love that smile??
My gorgeous baby girl!
After the babies were done playing in the leaves, Doug, Mom, Brad and I headed down to the farm to chop down some fire wood. And in the process, we also made a fire while we were there.
As you can see, it got pretty big, so we took pictures in front of it...in true Alabama redneck fashion!
If you know my husband, Brad, and my step-dad, Doug, then this picture is sure to make you laugh. We always joke with the two of them about how much they are alike. This picture proves that!
April and her kiddos soon joined us down at the farm and we stayed until dark. Check her blog soon...she took lots of pictures!
Oh, and just a little side note. Brad and I had a GREAT time at our Sunday school party Saturday night. We played Dirty Turkey (like Dirty Santa, but for Thanksgiving) and I came home with a candle and Brad came home with....Brokeback Mountain.....the gift that HE brought! His plan backfired on him! After dinner, some of us got a game of Phase 10 going. That one game lasted FOUR HOURS!! We didn't leave until after midnight! I was so proud of myself for staying up so late!
I hope you all had as wonderful of a weekend as we did! And this coming work week is only 3 days long! I love the holidays!

Ok, you were wrong for that. Meaning that we are alike (Brad and I)....at least you didn't say anything else as we talked about while you and your mom were sitting on the tailgate of the truck...I'm sure that you remember...ha ha ha
