my favorite time of year

i love this time of year! christmas is my favorite holiday i am so glad that it lasts a whole month i just wish it went all year! i love the lights, the shopping, wrapping presents, putting up a real christmas tree! just all of it! we have already started in the celebrations the day after christmas i went up the mtn with family to get there christmas trees (haven't got ours cuz i didn't want to do it without aidan) then last sat bridger and i went to my moms house and we made tons of christmas candy! i've hung a garland and lights on our rail and today we went outside and played in the snow. when we came back in we had hot chocolate and made a gingerbread house! bridger loved eating as much candy as he could we had to strap him into his chair cuz he kept climbing onto the table and trying to grab the candy off the little house. it was a lot of fun and i can't wait for all the fun exciting things to come this special month!

this was thanksgiving we had so much fun norma and grandpa fell asleep after dinner!

this was us up in the mountains while my sisters got there christmas trees bridger had so much fun!

we made hats that every one had to wear for our dinner (yes the picketts are a little strange but are always ready for a good laugh). we also made the little turkey oranges and decoration for the tables.

halloween 2009

our halloween this year wasn't too eventful but we still had fun! for our family night (which was on a tuesday cuz it was aidan's night off) we decided to carve pumpkins! we got three one for each of us but after carving bridger's pumpkin i was done!

bridger's pumpkin is on the left i carved that one and aidan's is on the right his is all scary ;)

we dressed the little guy up as a pumpkin he wouldn't leave his hat on for very long. i dressed up as a sexy devil however i didn't get a pic of me =( and aidan didn't dress up he just went to work.

our trip to the zoo

my sister misty invited us to go to the zoo today with her family. so we went and boy it was a lot of fun! we rode the train and bridger rode the giraffe on the carousal. there were a lot of little baby animals that were just so adorable!
