New CAR weekend!!!

We had a lot of stuff going on this weekend- here is a little recap-

We had an Ugly Christmas Sweater party at our friends, Josh and Erin, on Saturday. Travis and I found these gigantic ornaments at Shopko and couldn't resist. We had a fun time playing cards and catching up with friends.

Friday night was Travis' niece Ariana's 2nd Birthday party. She got a lot of great presents and this huge sucker!

I took the day off Friday and Travis and I went shopping for a new car- we found this gem in Annandale at Country Chevrolet. I fell in love and ended up trading in my old Malibu for this new model. I had my old car for over 6 years so it was about time! I love love love my new car and Travis likes it too. The feel spoiled with the heated seats and all the new gadgets to play with!

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

We had quite the busy weekend this weekend- Travis is home from Duluth so we had time to get the house ready for Christmas!


On Friday night, we went bowling after picking up Aiden, we used the bumpers and Aiden beat me- he is quite the little bowler!



On Saturday Aiden and I had a chance to make some Christmas cookies, he loves helping mix the dough and actually helped cut some out! We made way too many cookies, but it was a lot of fun to decorate them afterward.


Aiden wanted me to decorate a cookie like Darth Vader- I think I did a pretty decent job- I went by the picture on his shirt! He was so excited he ate the cookie right away-hmm...maybe I should start a Star Wars cookie decorating business? hmm...maybe not...



In the afternoon it was time to pick out our tree- it was soooo cold outside we bundled up like the Grizwolds and made the trek out into the tree farm- we were the only ones who got the free wagon ride out to the trees- everyone else was smart enough to drive around in their vehicles.


We had a really good time and eventually found the perfect tree- the picture at the top is after we decorated and everything- it looks great in our living room!
