Happy Fall! Decorating Here We Come!!!

One thing I learned about my husband right after we were married is that he really loves to decorate and especially LOVES to decorate for the HOLIDAYS! He loves Holidays! Since we were married right before Christmas, we had a lot of fun shopping the after Christmas sales and planning out our holiday schemes very early in our marriage. Halloween is so much fun and we love getting to pull out the Holiday tubbies. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are some of our favorite times, and we have had so much fun collecting decorations. So last weekend, we could officially pull out the Halloween decor and let the Fall Season begin!

One tradition in our home is that we pack away all holiday items, including books and movies.  So opening the tubs is so much fun and holds so many fun treasures!  Caleb loves reading the Halloween books and just pulling everything he can out of the tubs.

Having lots of fun!

Our Haunted Village!  We love these village pieces and were excited to add a new piece to it this year.  We love Department 56 and this is one of our little splurges in life. 

These pumpkins are one of Brydon's pride and joys and have their own special tubby and method of packing so they could survive all our moves.  (So far so good!)  We found these in Denver before our first Halloween married and passed them up the first time we saw them.  But a while later Brydon was able to go back to Denver with his family and made a special trip to pick up these guys.  We ADORE them. 

Last year life was a bit crazy during the Holiday season, due to our new job and moving.  Brydon actually missed Halloween while he was at Officer Training School.  So I have to share just a few memories from last year.

Caleb was the cutest Scooby Doo ever!  My mom was able to spend Halloween with us and we all went along with the Scooby Doo theme.  I was Daphne, Grandma was Velma and then of course the great Scooby Doo!  Caleb still can't decide what to be this year.

We made sugar cookies and then decided to decorate them with black frosting.  Well we all got black!  We love you grandma!!

We will most definitely miss Fall in the East!  It is so beautiful there and we have so many great memories.
