Happy Thanksgiving!!

A lot of my blogger friends were doing 27 days of thanks where you post something you're thankful for each day leading up to Thanksgiving. I thought that was a great idea but knew I wouldn't stick with it because with a 2.5 year old and a 2 month old I just don't have much time these days! So instead I decided to have one post that lists 27 things I am thankful for!!

In no particular order...

1. My family
2. My friends
3. My 2 adorable, healthy kids!
4. Music
5. Twilight Series
6. Girls Night Out
7. Movies
8. Sunny days with a cool breeze
9. Scentsy
10. My hubby/best friend
11. Sleep!! Karter is pretty much sleeping through the night already!!
12. My son being potty trained!
13. Egg Nog
14. Gluten free french toast sticks! MMMM!
15. Betty Crocker gluten free desserts!

Pictures Pictures

I have very talented friends! =)

I've complimented my friend, Cara, before on her photography skills. Now my friend, Lyndsay, is to thank for taking great pictures of my kids! Funny how my favorite pictures of my children have been taken by my friends instead of the "professional" photographers that I pay lots of money for!! Lyndsay is growing her business so if you need pictures taken, she's fantastic as you can tell! =) These are just some of my favorites and she recently took our family portraits so I'll be posting those soon!

Trick or Treat

Halloween was a lot of fun! My mom never disappoints with her annual Halloween party! She dresses up and decorates with the cutest, craftiest things! Keaton decided to be a pirate after watching a Backyardigans pirate episode way back. He had is lingo down..."Arrrggh!" and "Ahoy Matee!". Haha! He was the cutest pirate I've ever seen! =) I thought about dressing up Miss Karter but I decided to just put her in Halloween gear instead of an actual costume. I'm glad I did too because she slept through all the festivities! Keaton was so excited and would say, "Happy Halloween" to anybody we saw on the streets and when he'd go to a door he'd yell, "Trick or Treat!" but if they gave his cousin candy before him he'd stick out his pumpkin and say, "Oh, me too!" as if they were going to forget about him or something. =)

Mo and her grandsons!

Keaton playing one of Mo's games she invented! =)

My Pirate!

Karter in her Halloween gear. I know her bow is way too big but really is there such a thing as too big of a bow? OK maybe there is such a thing but she'll grow into it! I'm still learning the bow stuff! Ha!

Sound asleep for the whole thing!!

Christmas Is Almost Here

I just LOVE this time of year! I love the weather, all the holiday events, and all the Christmas decorations!! That being said, this months Scentsy warmer is just adorable!! If you order it this month you can get it for 10% off and have it in time to decorate your house for Christmas! There are many other Christmas warmers and plug ins that you can look at on my website: www.scentsy.com/kristinkotzebue

The scent of the month is Holly Berry and it smells so good! It's the perfect scent to fill your house with during the holidays! It too is now 10% off but if you don't think you'd like that scent there are tons of other Christmas scents like Christmas Tree, WinterWonderland, and many more!

Keep in mind this is the perfect time to host a party so that you can get free merchandise for yourself or to give away as gifts! Scentsy makes a great gift for anyone! Let me know if you have any questions about purchasing, hosting, or becoming a consultant! =)

Oh, and pics of Halloween and more coming soon! =)
