Let the Holiday Season Begin...

This is our first Christmas in our new house... We had a lot of fun decorating it this year....I always hate when we have to take everything down. It always feels so bare. So we got everything up Friday and we are going to enjoy it as long as we can!!! I usually try to take everything down before we leave for San Diego so I don't have to do it when we get back. It is always depressing taking it down before Christmas but I am always so glad I did when I get back after the new year... Here are a few pictures...

Extreme Makeover Seat Home Edition

We got a semi-makeover on our house in Oct. These pictures dont show how different it actually looks. We are really happy with the finished product though!!

After...

LSU/Bama

I am sitting here thinking of how to describe our experience at the LSU/Alabama game but I finally came to the conclusion that really no words can really do it justice. It is just something you have to experience first had to really understand...If you ever have a chance, you need to go to a game at Death Valley. It is a experience like no other!!! My sis-n-law is born and raised LSU. She is an alumni and gave is the full LSU experience. Starting off with Rob and my brother getting up at 5:50 to go get the spot for tailgating... Us girls got there at 8:45 and it was PACKED with people all around campus for a 2:30 kickoff. We basically were there for 12 plus hours...It was a blast and ended up being such a great game...here are some pics from the day...

Me and Julie bright and early...

Just one of the MANY dogs we saw that was either shaved, spray painted like a tiger or wearing LSU clothes...

Us at the tailgate.

YUMMY! That's all I can say!

Game Day ( I didn't have a chance to say hi to my boy Kirk this time! :))

Just one of the crazy fans. This one just happened to be a man dressed up like a cheerleader with crazy Bubba Gump teeth. You know, the norm...

Walking down the hill to go in...

Yet another dressed up fan...

Mike the tiger...

Lovely tiger pants ( i couldn't resist taking a picture, sorry lady!)

Us four before the game started...

SUCH A FUN DAY!

Trick or Treat...

The Family (Rob and I took a break from dressing up)

Aunt Boosh and Uncle Carl (Carrie and Wes) getting one last Halloween in before they leave in about 10 days for Brazil (for 5 years).

The good part about the kids getting to dress up 4 times (party, church, school & for trick-or-treating) is that you get your moneys worth out of the costume!!
