HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

On the 4th/5th Day of Christmas

On the 4th & the 5th day...

Everyone who knows me knows that I absolutely love the holidays! (Just take a look at my blog! :) And one of the things that really makes the holidays great is all the decorations.
These are a few of the greats! I was attempting to be artistic with my photography...didn't work.

This cool nativity is my mother's nativity that her best daughter got for her while traveling Africa.

We have a table full of Santas. It's cool!

Now my absolutely favorite decoration of all Christmas is the Tree! When I was young I would sneak out of bed and go sit by the tree! It was always peaceful and comforting. It makes me super happy!

Yay! Decorations! Christmas!

Halloween Favorites!

Halloween is coming! I love this holiday! There are 6 big reasons why! Let's discuss them...

1. Decorating my mom's house! I love this part of the holiday season! It makes my house feel like it is really October! (And yes, I still live with my parents! :)

2. Dressing up! You can be whoever and whatever you want to be! This is Margaret and I last year. We went crazy with the pink hair spray!

3. Everything Pumpkin/pumpkin pie. The flavor is getting into everything and I love it all! I got frozen yogurt that was pumpkin pie and cheescake! Yummy!

4.The Great Pumpkin! You are a good man Charlie Brown...and Linus who stays up and waits for the Great Pumpkin! I love that InStyle (my fave magazine) listed this as one of their fave fall things and it is one of mine too!

5. Candy corn/pumpkins! Need I say more?! No. My Father, a candy corn vampire!

6. It begins the Holiday Season!!! The goal is Christmas. It's always Christmas! (at least for me!)

Can't wait to trick or treat! Only 26 days...

Classroom Decor!

I've been helping my dad decorate his classroom for the upcoming school year. It's a tradition that his daughters decorate his room every year. My older sisters did it before me and when they got older, Margi and I started doing it. I asked my dad what he is going to do when Margi and I get married and move away and he said he would probably retire! :) My dad teaches religion. He's known as a Seminary teacher and he teaches high school kids. This year the kids are studying the Old Testament! So there is a lot about the Creation and the prophets such as Moses, Noah, and Abraham. Margi and I had a lot of fun decorating and the last day Faith (my BFF) and her son, Lewis came and she helped us finish! I think it looks awesome!

Also, I was so focused on decorating my dad's classroom that I was surfing the web looking for ideas and I came across a few photos of just neat classrooms. I love the "old school" (haha pun!) look for classes. This one is my fave!

This is a traveling futuristic class. Neat, right?

And I loved this one too!
