I have some catching up to do.

Ok, let us start from the beginning shall we. Halloween. Yes that was over a month ago, and yes I have been very slow. So I made for our ward Halloween party cupcakes that looked like a pumpkin. And Cole made a very cute Hippo.

Now we shall skip to the day after Thanksgiving. We put up our very first Christmas tree as a family. It was fun spending that time together and getting into the Christmas spirit.

So lately Cole has been getting up at 4:30 and thinking that is fine. Well its not. So sometimes if I am lucky I can get him back to sleep and catch some shut eye as well.

Our ward Christmas party was this past Saturday and I sang a song from the Forgotten Carols. I Cry the Day I Take the Tree Down. I think I did pretty well even though It doesn't sound all that great on the recording.

And last but not least. Santa came to town!! As a family we are doing our stocking on December 6th, St. Nicholas day. And on Christmas we will have the Wise Men come to bring gifts. We are doing this to try and keep commercial and sacred separate. We all got some new books, Cole got a fisher price toy, Chris got a new razor (he has had his old one since he went on a mission), and I got the same hair straightener I got for my birthday (it was kinda expensive so I told Chris to use it for this). I can't wait for Christmas to get here and to spend time with friends and family this holiday season.
