From Fluff To Fame

Love these new towels!!

Last week Kohl's had 50% off on all of their towels. I have no idea how, but our towels end up looking shabby and are full of holes by the end of each year. I took advantage of the sale and even better brought my grandma along which adding an extra 15% on to the sale price. This means I got $20 towels for $6.99 each. It's so nice to have nice fluffy towels once again.

Weston giving me "huggies"

The flu bug hit our family starting last week with Jared. It wasn't too terrible just the body aches/fever one. Yesterday it caught up with me and hit me pretty hard. I had intentions on helping put up the tree and ornaments for FHE, but I was more of an observer. I also have to give credit to all photo documentation to Taylor, because without her we wouldn't have any decorating photos. I think this is the first year I haven't had anything to do with the tree. I have to give Doug credit from getting it down out of the attic, assembling, fluffing the branches and ornaments. Nice work honey!

Doug getting a little crazy with the lights

I must say he did a great job all the way down to the presents. I have to admit I was feeling a bit scroogish when it came to the whole decorating thing this year. However, after plugging in the lights something magical lit up the room and I think I am officially ready for Christmas. I still haven't decided whether or not we will do what we did last year outside, we'll see........

Our tree
2007

This is also the first time that we have actually placed our gifts under the tree early. Normally, Santa brings them in with the stocking goodies BUT there was absolutely no place to store them. A few years ago I sent in a thing for the BYU alumni magazine with Doug's medical school graduation, this year I decided to do the same. It came out this past month and is found in the alumni section under 1997. I didn't realize how many people read this until a few of our old high school friends saw us at the Mesa Turkey Trot. They mentioned reading about Doug in the magazine. I was bummed they didn't put the photo in like last time, but beggars can't be choosers right? At any rate what an accomplishment to have 14 years done of schooling.

I didn't skip SPT today, it will just be a little bit later in the day. So check back soon :)
