lovelies

Paul's sister (actually I should say sisters there are three, but since I'm referring to Mindy...) loves holidays. She doesn't just celebrate the holiday, she kicks off the month-long celebration with a party. There is... Halloween Haunting, Christmas Kickoff and Love Fest!

This will be the third Love Fest we will attend together (what? three years!? I just met him!)

And I have to say, that our home is looking pretty lovely now from Love Fest presents.

This is really the only place in our home to put any decorations.. haha, so there we go. The slanted walls aren't conducive to shelfs or hangings. But we love this place and its eaves.
Thank you Shelly (my mom's best friend) for the under-bed Tupperware full of decorations... one for each holiday. Without that, I'd have close to none. (Serious though. I don't think any decoration in this house was purchased by me. That's probably why there are slim to none most of the year.)

Thank you Val, for buying an extra copy of this for Paul to give to me for our first Valentines day. It seems the last few years we've spent Valentine's day apart because of my lacrosse trips. In fact, I think this will be our first together. Anyways, I would always bring this book on our lacrosse trips and read it to my team. They still joke about with me :)

This little gem of a picture isn't just up at Valentines day. I love it so I keep it up all year. Thanks Mindy. (Love Fest 2009)
Thank you someone in Paul's ward for this Willow Tree figurine. I really do love it (even if every other couple I know has it...haha)

And of course, Love Fest 2008. We have two of these, because Paul and I didn't live together then, so we both got one. Cool.

So, happy February. The month of love.

Make it a good one :)
