Christmas time Approaches

Well yesterday Aaron and I went shopping for our very first Christmas tree! Walking down the isles and isles of Christmas decor at our local Wal-mart has gotten me in the holiday spirit. We bought a 6 foot pre-lit tree, a tree skirt, wrapping paper, bows, to/from stickers, and various ornaments. They had their Christmas trees decorated and I was especially drawn to the ribbon look instead of the traditional star or angel at the top so I bought some ribbon and tried my hand and making a bow. It's very rough around the edges. I am no aunt ReRe when it comes to things like that, but hopefully when it's all set up it will look better. I am really wanting to put the tree up now, but to stick with family tradition I am waiting until Thanksgiving day. Once it's all up we'll be taking pictures for all to see.

Austin slept the entire time we were out. He's getting bigger and bigger. His cheeks are fat and his little wrists are developing lines where his fat overlaps. He's around 11 and half pounds or so. Judging by the fact that he seems hungry more often, we think he's hit a growth spurt. This makes trying to find something for him to wear for his blessing day even harder. What size is he going to be 3 weeks from now? Speaking of blessing day, anyone who can come to our ward meeting that day is welcome to watch. Austin will be blessed by his father the first Sunday of the month of December at the Jadwin building. The meeting starts at 11am.

Here's a video of him that we took on Sunday.
