Christmas Box House Tree

My work got a great opportunity with The Christmas Box House this year. We got to decorate their Christmas tree! The CBH has a Christmas tree up all year long, each month they decorate it different. Easter theme, Halloween theme... And we got to do the most fun theme of all, CHRISTMAS!!!

Some of the guys at work headed down early to put the lights on the tree before the ladies got there to decorate. Me, Tahna, Julie, Christy, Barb and Ryan and his brother-in-law got to decorate. We had so much fun! Our theme for the tree is " Santa's Workshop" Me and Tahna brainstormed for an idea and between the two of us that's what we came up with.

The tree was decorated with block cars, planes, and trains. (so cute) We had little stockings filled with little toys for all the boys and girls. The ornaments were green and red and red with white swirls. And... the tree topper was a Santa hat! The tree looks so good, and the kids are gonna love it!

We all had a blast doing it, we all love helping out the CBH whenever we can. Its a great Charity to be involved with.

Merry Christmas kids at the CBH.

2nd Thanksgiving

Riley Bug! Eating some olives...

Turkey!!!

Aaron getting some tasty food!

Me and Aaron had two Thanksgivings to attend. One at his Grandma's and the second was at Donna's mom's house. My dad was invited to Donna's Thanksgiving which was really nice of her to include him, so after we left Aaron's grandma's we went to my dad's to pick him up and then we went to Donna's mom's for our second Thanksgiving. We got there around 6 just in time for food. :) We had a lot of fun over there, Donna's mom is a very sweet lady. Donna's daughter was there with her family, Dave (her husband) Ashley & Brad (her granddaughter & her BF) and her step brother Rod.


Everyone watching football and eating turkey!

The food was very tasty like always! My favorite was the mash potatoes... They were so good! Oh and... The jello!

FOOD!!!

Thank you so much Donna! You are an amazing lady, I look up to you in so many ways! I'm so thankful to have you in my life, you and your family are amazing and I'm thankful to know all of them. I love you and you family so much! Thank you for all you and Dave do, I don't know what i would do without you guys!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I had a great Thanksgiving holiday this year. I got to spend time with people that mean so much to me! This year I went with Aaron to his grandma's at 2 for his families Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun! I got to meet more of Aaron's family and spend time with the ones I already know and love! His grandma is such a sweetheart and an amazing cook! My favorite was the stuffing and her banana cream pie! YUM!!! I just want to say that I'm so thankful for Aaron and his family. They are amazing people and have showed me so much love. I really care about everyone of them! They mean so much to me!

Scott, Aaron's dad (aka Mr. Jensen). He is such a nice guy.

NEW CAR!!!

I went to Jerry Seiner Nov. 22 and got a 2005 Chevy Cobalt... and then... Jerry Seiner called me Nov 26th, the day before Thanksgiving and said that I need to bring the car back because the bank wouldn't finance me... But they could get me into a 2008 Chevy Cobalt, so me and Aaron went down there very pissed off and upset ready to hear what they had to say.

Well we ended up getting into a BIG fight with them and asked for the Dodge Neon back and told them that we wanted to go some where else, the salesman said OK and left the table. He was gone for a little while and came back and said, well we would really like to get you into a car with us... Aaron was so upset he stood up and said " you don't have the Neon do you?" and they didn't give us a straight answer... So we said that we would make a deal with them if they would give us the 2008 for the same price as the 2005... And after a lot of yelling and me and Aaron freaking out they did... They had to call the big boss at Jerry Seiner and tell him... They guy sat on the phone with him and we could hear him yelling at the finance department... LOL.. They deserved it! So we finally got the 2008 along with a 12,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty... It was a crazy mess but I feel like I got something better out of it. I'm sure they will never ever screw up again!!!!

Emily

Me & My sister Belinda, Emily's mommy!

On Saturday night me and Aaron went to my mom's house to see my niece Emily. She is 9 years old and she was my first niece. She lives in Ephram with my older sister Belinda's aunt and uncle. Belinda had Emily when she was 15 and it was really hard for her to raise a little girl when she was a teenager... So she let her Aunt and Uncle take gardianship over her when she was about 1. I don't get to see her a lot so when Belinda gets her I always try to make an effort to see her. She is such a cute little girl with the cutest little laugh!

My cute little niece Emily, love ya girly!

Baby Kiana

Beautiful baby girl.

A co-work had a beautiful little girl named Kiana! She has been out on maternity leave but she came in for a little visit and we got to see the baby. She is so cute and has so much beautiful hair!

The November 1st Party

Robert, SueSue, me and Virginia

On Halloween, my friend Robert was going to have a Halloween party at his new apartment but i ended up getting sick and a lot of other people ended up not coming. So we decided that if i was feeling better the next day and everyone else was in we would have the party that day... So we did... We called it our November 1st party!!! It was so good to hang out with Robert again, we never see each other now that we are done with school. I also got to meet his boyfriend that he has wanted me to meet for the longest time now! His name is Tory, and he is so nice!

Well the night was pretty crazy, a lot of stuff happened, but it was all fun! I also met Roberts cousin SueSue, she is so freakin cute and i love her! She has the best spirit and is the most sweet girl! I also met his roommate Virginia and she is such a doll! I love that girl as well. But when i was a little "not myself" i told her boyfriend and her at the same time that she could do better! RUDE... But he is a jerk so i don't really feel that bad. Well the night ended and Aaron's dad came and got us and took us home. ( Thanks Scott )

Aaron, Me, Robert & Tory
