Thanksgiving Point Lights!!


Last weekend Griff and Stephen surprised Lara and I with a night out to
Thanksgiving Point to look at the lights.
It is so fun to go look at the lights..
.. You don't have to walk around in the cold you get to drive your car around and see all the fun lights!!
They really did such a good job!!
It puts the biggest smile on my face to see Christmas Lights!
Griffin is just the sweetest guys ever!!!
He knows how much I love Christmas and he made this night all about it! :D
Ginger Bread House!!!
All done with the drive and the festive lights!!
As we were driving out they had the real meaning of Christmas saying and Pictures along the side of the road.
Reindeer!!
What a fun night out with our friends!!
Doing what we do best..
.. Celebrating the Holidays!!!

Downtown Date Night

A couple of weekends ago Griff and I went to spend a night at the Sheraton Downtown!
It was so fun to get away and just relax with no stress of work or anything!
Our amazing view from our room!
The bathroom was amazing :D
Time for some TV...
... And Room Service!!!
We ordered a Chocolate Lava Cake, Lemonade and French Fries!!
Mmm...
.. So yummy such a great snack!
In the morning we got ready for the day then went to Denny's for some delicious breakfast!!!
The Sheraton was decorated up all cute for the Holidays!!!
It was such a great weekend with my Hubby.
Love going out and making fun memories with him!
Love,
K & G

Love the Blands...

Merry Christmas To All!!!
And a Happy New Year!!

Festive Bland House

After Thanksgiving we started putting up our Christmas so that we
 would be able to enjoy it the whole month of December!
We started with the Tree..
..We decorated it with fun ornaments and TY Beanie Babies!!
It turned out so dang cute!
After the Tree we started to decorate the house!
I love how cute our home looks right now.
I am not excited when the time comes to take it all down...
With all the fun and excitement Griff got all worn out!!
Hahah so he took a snooze while I finished the decorating.
Yes we were watching The Santa Clause!
Christmas Movies with Christmas Decorating :)
It is the perfect combination!!
Next time to wrap the Presents!!!
We have most bought and wrapped but still got to get a few more under the tree.
Yay for Christmas!!!
