CHRISTMAS! Well only for a few moments at a time when we check to see how much progress we've made hanging lights on our front yard tree.
I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW, its not even Thanksgiving yet, I promise we're not turning the lights on yet, we just thought we better get a head start in case it snows and we can't get lights up! Gotta plan ahead here in crazy weatherville! Actually I am just soooo excited! Our neighborhood went all out for Halloween so I can only imagine what Christmas will be like. We're NOT going to be lameoids, I have always wanted to do steller lights and this is the year! I told Ryan I want Temple Square in my front yard. So he's in charge of the house b/c I'm too chicken to get up on the roof, but I was in charge of the tree because I can't completely relinquish control. Ryan thought it'd be a good pict.. I must say it does capture the moment.
Amazingly enough SEVEN strands of lights barely does our tree justice! We'll have to accumulate lights through the years b/c we've spent a small fortune already this year. And I don't understand the rule you can only plug three strands together at a time? How is that suppose to work? We have all seven connected together-yikes? Plus there was a warning I have never seen before to wash your hands after stringing the lights because the wires have lead which can lead to birth defects and fertility problems- JUST what I need!

Mainly b/c of this picture-
there is also a bucket of salt. Is that so cool? No, I know its not, but I love it anyway. A shovel to clear the walk at church, I just find that to be so fun! There are also coat racks along the walls. These are just things you don't see in NV chapels and I think they are the bomb! SO I then got a little carried away with picture taking at church and got this shot in Sunday school-
yeah I forgot to turn the flash off and Ryan and I about died when it red-eye blinked like a million times in the middle of the lesson!!! DUH!

Church was exceptionally great yesterday, all three hours seemed to be speaking to me- Faithfully Endure Trials. With hoping another baby could be made this month that message both calms me and makes me cringe. I know it will work out the way it is suppose to, I'm just praying to accept the Lord's time frame and will.
In the mean time- CHRISTMAS IS AROUND THE BEND! YAY! And before that is December 5! The big ONE! Woo-Hoo!!!!

Oh, I wish I was with you when you took that picture in sunday school. I would be cracking up. You know how things are so hilarioius when you're supposed to be quiet.
We have coat racks & all the snow stuff @ church too. I remamber that being really strange & new when we first moved here.
You are so funny about the lights. Can't wait to see a photo of your house all lit up!
I am imagining sitting in your Sunday School class with the strobe-light like flash going off, and I am cracking up. Sunday school can usually use a little excitement if you ask me!
I love hearing these things. I have never lived in a plce where it snowed. Interesting.
I wished I lived in a neighborhood that was spirited. You will have to take pictures of your house with the lights ons. Then, pictures of your neighborhood if they decide to get festive. K.C. is not very festive.
Someone stole my little Thanksgiving decoration from the front of my house. Now Kobi and I are afraid to put anything out there. So annoying.
Anyway, cute pictures.
