The happiest place on earth!

Yesterday, we headed down to Anaheim to experience Disneyland at Christmas time. It was beautiful!!!!! We got there pretty early and were able to get a lot of the big rides done early, thanks to fast pass! Sunny skies with a slight chill in the air, perfect weather. The blogger will only download a few pictures at a time, so here are some of our favorites.





Oh and I promise we were wearing our Disney gear but when it got cold, it was time to bundle up!

Time flies when your busy....

Let's see.... last weekend, Thadddeus and I headed over to Bed Bath and Beyond to begin the registry process. Begin being the oppertive word because it was intense. We got up early figuring we would knock BBB out of the way before lunch and then head out and do some Christmas shopping.... WRONG! We sat with a bridal consultant for well over an hour discussing things we NEED to register for. How does her little checklist know what we NEED in our house. We looked at china patterns (very father of the bride when Nina and Annie are meeting Fraunk (Martin Short) for the first time) and learned all about the different types of pots and levels of cooking. She would not let up, my face told her I was a bit overwhelmed and our mouths told her that we eat mac and cheese and sandwiches. Finally, we broke away from her and were able to talk about our new knowledge. I brought my camera to take pictures but I never did, bummer. So picture us standing infront of the gigantic wall of gadgets deciding on a spatula, then move over to bedding with Thad laying his head on every pillow to check out it's coolness. About 4 1/2 hours later, two hungry cranky people walked out the store not even knowing what we put on our registry, we had been done at the toaster ovens 2 hours ago.

The week went good. Thad has been really busy at work and having to put in a lot of hours and it was my last week of school so it seems like everynight there was something. So now I'm done with school for about 3 weeks. Thad just left to help his buddy move and I'm stalling going to the gym. I love Saturdays.

What a weekend we kinda had...

I had big weekend plans, I pretty much had Saturday and Sunday fillled with things I wanted to get done. You see, I love lists. I love making them, referring to them and then checking them off as I go. Whether it be a Christmas list, a Target list, a wedding list or a 3rd grade list. Who doesn't love the feeling of a little organization!
The only thing on Thad's list was the Mizzou football game!

But that all changed when I woke up Saturday with the "crying, sweating, sleep all day, 24 hour stomach flu". Oh my, it gave me a run for my money. I have to say though I am marrying the best because boy did he take care of me. At one point, laying next to me, even though I smelled like a "sick person". Ah love.





So Sunday, I was feeling ok and I knew I wanted to check off a few things (haha). As you can see from above we got into the holiday spirit and did some decorating. I have to admit, I think I had the air conditioner on because it was a warm 75 degrees outside, and I'm wearing a fleece. In Los Angeles, you do whatever it takes to make it "feel" like Christmas.

I love our little house, but I love it even more the month of December. Our favorites..... Thad LOVES his nutcrackers and I love the plaid tree ornaments. I think it's so funny that a simple decoration brings me so much joy once a year!
