Thanksgiving Break!!

During Brandon's break we did a lot of work on our house. We worked on the house for a week and then headed to California to visit my family for Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun. We got our laminate wood flooring down in our living/dining room and we got our tile placed in front of our back door. It was a lot of fun. We also put up our Christmas tree. It was fun working on our house again and getting things finished that we had wanted to finish for a while. Then we headed to California where we hung out with my family for a week. We went and saw "A Christmas Carol" with Jim Carry and "Old Dogs" both were ok. But, it was fun going with my family. We also played super mario on the wii and beat the game haha. Also we went and played raquetball and had fun watching movies and playing games with the family at night. It was an overall fun little vacation and both Brandon and I enjoyed it. Now school is back on for another 3 weeks before Christmas break. Which we are super excited for as well.

Brandon working on the saw to cut the pieces of
wood to the right size. He did such a good job.

Getting closer....

A picture of Brandon's mad skills with the saw and measuring!! :-)

Our almost finished product. Just had to finish the baseboard. We think that it looks pretty good. :-)

Here is our tile spot in front of the back door.
We already layed the boarder tile as you can see.

Brandon working away trying to get
everything clear and ready for the rest of the tile.

After we had it all put down in the right places.
Just needed to grout it.

Here is the final product. With grout and everything.
We are a great team!! :-)

Finally... our very first big Christmas tree. That we got on craigs list.
It works perfect and we love having our first Christmas tree in our first house!!

We did not get any pictures from my parents house so these are just from the first week that we were on break. Overall we had a great break and can't wait till the next one.
