Our Amazing Weekend

While everyone else in the area was Black Friday shopping, the Harrison's were getting in full fledged Christmas spirit (after golfing and our snaking incident of course) and THAT means decorating :) I decked Violet out in a sweet little black and red Christmas bow outfit and we headed outside! It took us 2 days and some help from papa (watching Violet) to get our outside masterpiece completed and buy a Christmas tree :) Every year we've been hitting up the after Christmas sales on home decor and last year we added 2 motorized deer! If you live nearby you'll have to come by and check it out :) Violet and Odie love it :)

... So that takes care of Friday and Saturday... But what about Sunday? Well, the fun didn't stop :) We went to breakfast at my favorite spot - Crema cafe - then headed down the pacific coast highway to Laguna Beach to go to the Sawdust festival (like a big craft fair) :) It was AWESOME! Then we came home and put lights on our Christmas tree :) Here's a little Jenna-life-love-wonder: More Christmas lights = More holiday spirit = More happiness = More joy = ... = ... = ... Matt's thoughts: "Jenna... I find it strange how every year you talk me into getting a slightly smaller tree, but I somehow end up buying more strands of Christmas lights :)" <-- that's a true story, too :) We got a 6 ft tree and I managed to put 12 strands of colored lights on it. You're welcome Southern California Edison :) You! Are! Welcome!

Ps- Guess what else?! We got a new awesome rug that Violet doesn't choke on! I made ham soup with our leftovers (yuuuum)! Our tree out front turned yellow! Violet is a nano second away from crawling! We almost lost Rosie (Violets little stuffed Sesame Street character) at the sawdust festival, but after hunting for 10 minutes re-tracing steps we found it... After which Violet proceeded to talk and sing to her for 5 minutes straight! And she loves playing 'airplane' :)
