A Jam Packed Saturday!

Tim came home from Flagstaff's Riot Squad Training, after being there a week, Friday night. Which meant that we would only have Saturday to fit in all the things we wanted to do as a family before he left for Tucson on Sunday! I didn't think we could do as much as we did! Tim wanted to do some early Christmas shopping. We both wanted to decorate a Christmas tree. And I wanted to make it to our ward Christmas party! I'm proud to say, we did it all plus some!

Shopping was crazy but fun. We took Abbey with us, and despite the fits, we did find what we were looking for and even got good deals! (just a warning: if you forget your stroller the car-carts at the mall are $5.00!)




The ward Christmas party was fun, seeing that it was centered around making crafts and bringing gifts for Springdale! Tim and I had fun making gingerbread men garland. Abbey had fun running around and eating the candy on the tables! After the party we met up with Grandpa Webb and went Christmas tree shopping. Tim found a really full and tall tree that's perfect for the house! At home we finally put Abbey to bed (sometime after 9:00!) and started to decorate the tree!


But before we got too far, Tim really was in the mood to watch Christmas Vacation while decorating. So we went searching Wal-Mart and Target to buy a copy! (By the way, Wal-Mart was sold out!) By the time we got home and finished decorating the tree it was almost 12:00! That is late considering we have 8:00 church! But it was well worth it to spend time together as a family and start celebrating Christmas together.

You're lucky you have a husband that doesn't seem to ming posing for the camera! You always have such cute pictures! The tree is just gorgeous! I love you!

I love how Tim looks so proud of his gingerbread men chain. I'm sad that I didn't get to pick and decorate the tree with you :( It looks beautiful though!
