Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

Andrew and I put up our Christmas tree last weekend. Andrews sister found us a fake tree at a yard sale for a great price. The tree is HUGE! It's 7 feet tall and it almost takes up our whole living room. We started to put it up and we soon realized that we were going to have to rearrange the furniture to fit the tree in our apartment. After many rearrangements with the couches and tree we finally found a way to fit it all. It's a good thing we have vaulted ceilings because otherwise i'm not sure it would fit with the star on top. Here are some fun pictures of us putting the tree together. (PS: It was game day - BYU vs Utah. Notice the Utah shirt. Andrew wore blue for the day so I had to support my school. GO UTES!!!)

Thanksgiving and Black Friday!

I love the holiday season! For Thanksgiving Andrew and I got to spend the holiday with both of our families. We had Thanksgiving dinner with Andrews family. There were a lot of people, and it was also a lot of fun! Then we went down to my aunt Karla's house in Provo where my family was and had some pie. My favorite part of Thanksgiving is black Friday. I love the crazy crowds and lets face it, shopping all night, it couldn't get better! Andrew and I wanted to get a blue ray DVD player for Christmas, and the one we wanted was on sale at Walmart at 5:00am. There were also some sales that we wanted to check out at midnight. So we started shopping at midnight. The crowds were so crazy it felt like we were cows being hurded in a barn that was too small. We also went to the mall where Andrews family has a Kiosk and visited with them around 2:00am. We took a nap in the car, and finally at 4:30 we went back to Walmart to scope out the DVD player. Guess what?! We found the DVD player on the shelf where it normally is and when we price scanned it the price was already changed. We could have bought the DVD player at midnight, even though the sale didn't start until 5:00. We had a lot of fun! My mom and sister stayed with us for the weekend and I got to do more black Friday shopping with them all day long Friday! It was so much fun. Plus I got to see my cute niece and nephew who stayed with us as well. The whole weekend was so much fun!
