It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

You probably know by now that I'm crazy about the holidays and I've been enjoying every minute of it. I realized today that it's less than two weeks until Christmas and I wish I could leave my decorations up until February. You know what? Maybe I will. :)
I didn't realize how many Christmas decorations we bought at Goodwill over the last year until I opened all of the boxes in my garage...just to realize that our house is way too small to host them all. 
You might have seen many of them last year, so I'll spare you with the same pictures (here's the link for last year's post), but we added a few things around the house.

My grandpa built this nativity house (below) for me before he passed away last March and it's so incredibly special to me. It's my most favorite thing and it makes me happy every time I see it.


Ihr wisst mittlerweile bestimmt, dass ich Weihnachten LIEBE und ich geniesse jede Minute der Vorweihnachtszeit. Mir fiel heute ein, dass es nur 11 Tage bis Weihnachten sind und ich wünschte, dass ich unsere Dekorationen bis Februar stehen lassen koennte. Wisst ihr was? Vielleicht werde ich genau das tun.:)
Mir war nicht klar, wieviele Weihnachtsdekorationen wir bei Goodwill im letzten Jahr gekauft hatten, bis ich all die Kartons in unserer Garage oeffnete ... nur um festzustellen, dass unser Haus viel zu klein ist, um sie alle zu benutzen.
Ihr habt die meisten von ihnen vermutlich schon auf meinem Blog vom letzten Jahr gesehen, also werde ich euch nicht mit den gleichen Bildern langweilen (hier ist der Link für letztes Jahr), aber wir haben auch ein paar neue Dekorationen.

Mein Opa hat diese Krippe fuer mich gebaut, bevor er im vergangenen März starb und ich kann gar nicht beschreiben, wie wichtig und besonders sie fuer mich ist. Ich liebe sie und es macht mich sehr gluecklich, sie jeden Tag zu sehen!





We got a new Scentsy...we love them! I think we have seven different ones now.

Wir haben einen neuen Scentsy gekauft...wir lieben Scentsy! Ich glaube, wir haben mittlerweile sieben verschiedene.




Salt and Pepper Shakers


Salz und Pfeffer Streuer




Katie's parents gave us this tree last year.


Katie's Eltern haben uns letztes Jahr diesen Weihnachtsbaum geschenkt.





Another Goodwill find...and another Scentsy of course!


Wir haben diesen Baum bei Goodwill gefunden...und hier ist ein weiterer unserer Scentsys!



We got these Hurricane Candleholders at Goodwill for like $5....add some Dollar Store Ornaments...and done!

Wir haben diese Vasen fuer ca. $5 bei Goodwill gekauft...dann noch ein paar Weihnachtskugeln vom $1 Laden...und fertig!



To sum up...we love Goodwill way too much and we need a bigger house, so I can buy more decorations!

Um das mal zusammen zu fassen...wir lieben Goodwill viel zu sehr und brauchen ein groesseres Haus, damit ich noch mehr Dekorationen kaufen kann!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha.  Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night.  Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha.
