The most wonderful time of the year

Yes, my favorite time of the year is FINALLY here!

***

Kyle and I started off our favorite time of the year a little early. Before we left for Colorado for Thanksgiving, we wanted to set up our christmas tree his parents gave us so it would be all set up when we got home. We also hung our stockings and my sister is living with her in-laws right now, so we got to set up her nativity set too!

Our home is now festive and cute! :)

We flew to Colorado for Thanksgiving. It was a very much needed break from school and so much fun to spend time with our families. I love this time of year where everyone comes together and we just eat! Good food with good company. Does it get any better than that?!
***
We helped set up Christmas trees at both Kyle's house and my house!

(We decorated three Christmas trees!)

I was not ready to come back to snowy, cold Rexburg. We flew into Salt Lake City and then had to drive back up to Rexburg...and we ran into just a little complication which resulted in this...

***
Yes, that is a sock and duck tape!
***
We've had some pretty bad wipers on our car since I met Kyle, but we have put off getting new ones because you have to get them through Audi and we knew it wouldnt be that cheap. Well, while cautiously driving through the snow I turned on the wipers and the drivers side wiper flew off! It was slightly commical but we were in some serious trouble since the nearest Audi dealership we could get wipers at was hours away!
***

So we pulled off at a gas station and bought a regular wiperblade and some duck tape to keep it on! We decided to switch the good audi wiper to the drivers side in case the other one didnt work. We get back on the road and Im trying to use the wipers as minimally as possible, but hello! It was snowing! So I turned on the wipers again and lo and behold, the last standing audi wiper flew off!

***

At this point Im thinking...REALLY?!

***

We pulled over again, switched the new wiper to my side so I can see and duck tape it on. We didnt want to stop and get another one and we didnt want the wiper arm to scrape on the windshield every time I used the wipers so we duck taped a sock to the other one. It looked like a little nub!

***

It was quite the drive home! We finally made it and got new wipers! They work so great! :) Merry Christmas to us!

***
Now were back to school and have to stay focused for just a couple more weeks of school. This semester has been a long, hard one so I am SO excited for it to end!
***

But I'm more excited for Christmas! My family is coming up to us this Christmas because my sister is having a baby any time now! Since we dont know when exactly the little man is going to make his entrance into the world, parents and sister and brother will join us all here at our cute decorated home! :) I can't wait!
