Tonight is my sister-in-law's work christmas party so I am watching the children so she and my brother can attend without taking all of the little ones along.  I have two 7 year olds, a 3 year old and a 2 year old.  They are so much fun.  The two girls (7 year olds) are watching a movie so they are pretty easy to watch and the 2 and 3 year old are pretty happy with balloons.  Don't you just love this time of year when there are so many christmas parties and things to do around town.  I love the Christmas season.  :)

Don't you just love Christmas shopping?  I really like to go out and look at all the fun Christmas stuff and see what's new out there, but when it comes time to actually have to go buy presents it is not so much fun.  I have a hard time to decide what I want to buy so I get discouraged and decide I will shop on another day.  I love to look at all of the Christmas lights and the decorations and all of the fun toys that are in the stores.  It is such a fun time of year :)  Hope you are enjoying shopping and seeing all of the fun new things in your area.

While I was down in Nampa, Nate and I decided to put up the christmas lights at his apartment.  It wasn't overly cold since it was the week before Thanksgiving so Nate pulled out all of his christmas lights that he had used in the past to see if they still worked or if we needed to buy new lights.  Since most of them worked we got started putting them up.  Here is Nathan putting the lights up around the window :) This is the railing of his balcony... The side view of the railing... This was a lot of fun to do and we got all of the lights up the week before the weather started getting really cold outside.
