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.

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!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
