Tis' the Season, Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra!

Our first big storm hit today! It started real early and has not stopped once all day/night long. It is so pretty and peaceful, I love it! Except for the driving part! I held my breath the entire time going to and from work. The main roads weren't so bad, but my work is up towards Snow Bowl in the mountains so that was kinda scary! The schools here get a snow day today and tomorrow, and Brandon might have work off. Lucky! Anyone who wants to come sledding, our backyard has some great hills! ;-)

Pardon the blurriness of the pictures...

Completely full of snow!

Sledding in the back! The flash makes it look like nighttime but it wasn't

Got our first real tree! Smells yummy

Thanksgiving Week

Some happenings from Thanksgiving Week...
Didn't actually take any on Thanksgiving but it was a good day! And with the Jensen's that weekend too. The remainder of the weekend was spent helping my parents move to Fountain Hills.

We painted a wall in our dining room to spice it up a bit ;-)
(before)

After..tadaaa!

What would a guy do without his laptop computer and cellphone in hand? Caught this funny picture of Brandon and my brother Austin in the act

Chandler Mall at MIDNIGHT before Black Friday! I went with some friends just to see what the big deal was all about. There were sales in most stores, but nothing too amazing. It was just all the shopping hype, but it was fun! Before opening there were hundred of people outside all the entrances. The lines were way to long to want to even wait in them! Within 5 minutes of opening there were lines! People had it planned out what they wanted, then got it fast and went in another line in the middle of the mall to get a free $50 giftcard if they spent $100 shopping that night. Crazy people! :-)
