moving

this is week is the big week

we are moving.

i'm so excited to finally get to enjoy this house that we have been paying for 

and slaving over

it's been such a blast working on projects with sam the last couple weeks 

we spent this last weekend painting until about 130 AM

naturally we were both a little loopy and slap happy, everything we said was hilarious

it's so rewarding to see things come together

but i've never really moved before 

so send your tips and pointers my way as we get prepared 

over the weekend

over the weekend we shared these with our families

let it all begin

tis the season for traditions, parties and events galore

we can't wait to spend the night at home tonight

 after a week of Christmas events every night

my family has been doing a tree for the festival of trees for the past 8-10 years

it's turned into a family affair

our theme this year was on giving 

everything was centered around things you'd give as neighbor gifts

                      

after months of working and crafting we were proud of our tree

all my sisters went on bid night together and were so pleased our tree had more than one bid

when bidding was about to end we had two crowds wanting our tree 

bidding war

we were thrilled to have earned money for the primary children's hospital

and thrilled that our tree turned out so great
