we are THAT family

Oh yes. We are that family. The family that puts up their Christmas decorations 2 months in advance. The family that's outside stringing Christmas lights before the Thanksgiving menu has even been thought of. The family that you talk about.

Oh yes.

And now I shall bust out in song with some visual aides for your pleasure:

*Shakes a Maraca shakeshakeshake jingle jingle jingle*


Dashing to the Target
In a 4-door Jeep Patriot
On the interstate we go
There's so much stuff to get!
KLove* starts to sing
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to go shopping
On this November night!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to put up our tree
on this November day!

A day or two ago
the story I must tell
We went to our Target
I saw it & started to yell!
Reindeer ears for a dog
Oh how cute that'd be
To put it on our Westie
I know she'd look lovely!

Ohhhhhhhhhhh

Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way

Our Christmas tree is up tonight
and it's here to stay. YAY!

*KLove is our Christian radio station in Virginia. And, oh, how we miss WAYFM

I haven't photographed the rest of the house yet, but we have colored lights around the living room and snowmen set out. Our red & white candles are out, and we'll soon be putting our Christmas lights outside! We also bought 4 lollipop pathway lights. It will all be so cute! Our new Christmas wreath is also already out. We are so excited for Christmas this year!

  1. ok - little piper is pretty cute in her reindeer hat (= your tree looks so cute - have you already bought your ornaments for this year for each other?

  2. We've just got the Westie ornament from the BX.. but none for each other. I think we'll just get 1 as a couple for each year. The Westie ornament might have been it for this year.. It just depends on if I see another one that "fits" us. You know -- like last year was Micky & Minnie picking out a diamond ring, since we got engaged in 2008.. There are some for "Our First Home" .. so maybe that! :) I better look quick before they get picked over.

  5. I only saw 2 stockings, did you get one for Piper? We got a cheap red one for Sandler & then I got some glitter glue pens & wrote his name on it. Each year Santa fills it full of treats!

  6. We are going to get one for Piper!! So far, we haven't seen one "good enough" .. the ones at the BX were SO CHEAP looking. Like, that nasty old felt material that was horrible :\ Target had some great ones.. so maybe I'll get one from there :] Target also has some "premade" stockings. They're pretty cute, but I think we'll fill it up with our own things :)

  8. You're really making me jealous of your married, own-house, precious little husband and dog life. Real, real jealous.

  9. Emily? Is this the same Em as my BFF Em? If so, there's only one solution:

    Marry your bf, get a dog, and move into a house, and then we can be JUST ALIKE! BFFs just alike. I can foresee it now!

  10. Sounds like a great solution to me!

  12. That's what my mom said, Paigey! I just can't see it -- probably because I see her ALL DAY every day :) My mom thinks she's growing like a weed!
