Christmas!

I am so excited - I put up my Christmas decorations this morning! It was so fun, especially with Lane helping. He got so into everything...as soon as I opened the box with our Christmas tree in it, he was excited. The lights fascinate him. Decorating the tree went like this: I'd open the ornament box, hand the ornament to Lane, he'd look at it and go "awwww" and then show me where to put it on the tree. So most of our ornaments are close to the bottom, but that's ok. He loves the fact that there are so many kitties on our tree!

I also put up another little tree with just red ornaments on it. Lane likes that one since it's just his height!

Add to that all the snowmen and reindeer and glittery things and we were surrounded by Christmas this morning! I can't wait to show him how the room looks tonight when it's dark out.

I did get a few pictures of Lane this morning, sorry for the blurryness or weird lighting! I was trying to capture his excitement but it was kinda hard!

Lane has been pulling up a chair to both of the trees and just sits there looking at it. Very cute!

Soon I'll take some more photos of the decorations...maybe after I clean a little bit....

Running around

Wow, it just seems like life has been busy lately! And with the holidays approaching, it's only going to get busier :) We're all doing fine. I'm feeling a bit lazy with my hectic week of sewing now done. I had a booth at the Holiday Fair in Henderson with some of my bags and somehow I was sewing right up until the last minute! So it's been nice to just take a breather this week.

Lane and I did manage to set up an obstacle course in our living room last week. He had soooo much fun with it and just wore himself out playing on it. He ran around so much that he was actually breathing hard....and then took a great nap :) Yay!

In case you can't tell, he was supposed to follow the towels on the floor, go through the tunnel, over the cushion, and into the box. He did it once and then just did his own thing. He also loves to carry a screwdriver around and "poke" it at things. Silly boy.

Here are some pictures of him being crazy!

In honor of Husker game day...

...Lane has a new pair of pants!

Yep, I made them myself...and it's obvious! I was cleaning out my closet today and found a pair of Husker capris that were really cute but just never fit right. Since Lane has NO Husker clothes right now, I thought they'd be pretty cute for him! I used this tutorial that honestly wasn't very helpful. I basically just cut them out like they said to, but then I was pretty confused as to what sides to sew together! I just winged it and it only took about 20 minutes. They're a little high in the front but I guess it doesn't matter that much! Lane was just excited to get a new pair of pants :)
