jump from halloween to christmas

Thanksgiving was really nice. We had an early dinner with the Erdmanns and a late one with the Gadds and Twetens. We woke up early for Matt's first "Black Friday" experience. I still don't know if it was a good or bad experience. Definitely saved some money though!

a few weeks ago I got together with some of my friends and we made crafts together... Its funny because they were all paper related except one... poor college students?

It was fun. It was even better because we saw harry potter earlier that day!

So here are some pictures of stuff we made on craft day... and all our decorations this year....

oh and that nativity i made last year...

i couldn't find a place for it so it is on our chalkboard table

the shepherds and the wise men are my favorite

so i'm putting pictures of them up...

(haunted forest fire)

These are the frankenstein caramel apples i made

This is my new hair

except it hardly even looks like this anymore

it has grown a lot already

and the light parts are a much darker red

but i thought i would share these

mostly to let rachel (she cut my hair) know that i finally found these pictures.

This is matt in our messy room

It's getting pretty cold outside

and the grocery store across the street is starting to sell mello yello

This picture was taken around 5 am

more from the summer

halloween intro

jolley's ranch

we have been dying to go camping and we finally got our chance this weekend

the weather has been in the high 80's but the trees are turning red

so this was the perfect time to camp

we camped up hobble creek canyon at a place called "jolley's ranch"

it was SO pretty and secluded

plus its like five miles from our house and springville residents get a killer discount!

we went with our friends alyssa and kekoa.

claire and andy were there too, but only for the pitch black parts of the day so i have no pictures... (no flash on my camera)

here is lulu helping matt set up the tent

straight up boyscout

it was nice to have the river sound while we were falling asleep

the vincent's tent

making breakfast

trying to make breakfast again

what lulu ate for dinner

matt trying to get conference on the radio

we had a good time. i had a good time taking pictures of lulu

she is so funny!
