Thankful........November 26th

As we were driving home from church today, Raleigh says "do you want to get the Holiday Decorations out?" The thought was overwhelming... but "yes, I guess we should since this is your only day off between now and Christmas."

He was so excited he couldn't even wait to take off his church clothes. This is why I love him so much.

He brought our HUGE tree in that weighs 400 pounds

He got the big ladder out

Down came the Harvest Decor

Yay!! Let's do this

Quincey was a HUGE help

And Peyton took some pictures of us

We started at 2:00 pm. We took a little break to eat. We watched Home Alone. I won a bet and the prize is a new pair of jeans (I hate that I am always right). We cooked the homemade apple pie that they neighbor lady made for us. We are as ready as we could ever be for Holiday Season 2012.

We had a really fun night.

Last year, when we were decorating, I thought... next year, we will have a little crawiling baby helping us decorate and/or undecorate and I wonder if we will be in this house or another house....

How funny!!

It's November 26th........... and I am Thankful for Christmas Decorations

Anonymous said...: Well I was kinda hoping for some pictures of the finished product but I guess I'll have to come over and see it in person. I'm so happy that I can say that and that you only live 5 minutes away this year. I bet everything looks beautiful, as always. Happy Holidays.

Things aren't quite as great at our house...sections of the outdoor lights keep going off...a different section everytime we turn them on. Dad is having a come-apart. So now we are keeping them OFF until he can figure out the problem. Maybe we'll get them back on by Christmas Eve! Happy Holidays!; November 26, 2012 at 7:13 AM

URFAVE 5+A Few said...: I'm sure it looks beautiful. A house always becomes a home when its filled with the ones we love and has our finishing touches in it. With all of that I'm sure it feels like Christmas!; November 26, 2012 at 5:01 PM
val said...: I officially love Raleigh. That photo of him in his church clothes, with a smile bringing the tree in...what a stallion! How fun.; November 26, 2012 at 6:27 PM
Ellsworth Party of Four said...: I can't even begin to think about Christmas Decorations...the thought is completely overwhelming to me...it makes me hurt all over. BA-HUM-BUG!!
i wish I allowed others to help me with all of it...maybe it would be "fun". Maybe for Christmas I should ask for a much less anal personality??
Glad you had fun and can't wait to see the finished product!; November 27, 2012 at 9:19 AM

Who we are, where we've been and where we are going

We are the Lunds. And some of us are Koenigs. And this is our life. I am Kaci and I am the creator/author/historian of this blog. What I write, I write with two goals in mind... To keep my family totally and completely involved in all of our doings and to keep a record of our life events. That is all it is...

I had four children from a previous marriage as well as a whole lot of baggage. And maybe that might have discouraged a lesser man from pursuing me, but luckily for me the stars aligned and a very good, honest, brave, not to mention super sexy boy took a chance on me. And pursue me he did... to flattering proportions.

In 2008, I married the Love of My Life. I didn't know being married could be this wonderful and happy. I didn't know that being in love feels like THIS. I didn't know that truly being loved and correctly taken care of is the greatest blessing a girl can have in her life. I thank my Heavenly Father a few times a day for guiding my path to the greatest of my treasures. It was a rough and long road but so worth the journey.

In 2009, we had our Sweet Peyton. She is a Lund all the way from her confidence level and mild mannered disposition right on down to her perfectly round and rather large head. What a blessing she is to our home and our life.

In 2010, we had Kaleigh. She is little and darling but don't let her tiny stature fool you. This girl can take care of herself. She climbs on EVERYTHING!!! And is afraid of NOTHING!

What a complete joy she has been, our little elf.

And in 2011, we had Ryker. We weren't really sure what to do with a boy. It's been a long time. But he is the exclamation point on our little family and we love him with all of our hearts.

My "big kids" (I call them), mean the world to me. I could not do this without them. They make me laugh, keep me young, make me feel pretty, lighten my load, make me proud, love me anyway and challenge me too. We've been through a lot,

the five of us, but they are superior kids because they've weathered the storm.

We are a pretty crazy and energetic family. There are constant comings and goings and hysterical happenings. These are our stories. And they are all true. Flowered up maybe, but certainly true.

Enjoy
