Tara & Shawners


getting ready to go out to dinner for my birthday! The ripe old age of 35! We went to Lupe Tortilla with the Ravenbergs, the Daileys and the Gleasons. I got a phone call during pictures...I said to hold on but they kept snappin' away me and Austin
I am only as tall as them cuz I have on my awesome red heels! (heels that are meant to be seen and looked at but not worn! they are fabulous but they come at a price!)

Austin's Birthday

Austin turned 14!!!!!

It was a crazy, busy but fun day! It started with me and Austin going to breakfast. (I usually go pick up the kids from school and take them out to lunch for the birthdays, but Austin had 5 tests that day so that was out!) So instead we went to Ihop for breakfast! We left at 6:00am, so we could get him to school on time! He got to open one gift before school which was a new outfit. Can you believe he wears the same length pants as Shawn now!! Then after school we went out to dinner! (yes after school at 4:00pm...it was a senior citzen type dinner!) It was so busy that night with other activities that we had to go that early. Austin chose Texas Roadhouse.
getting his 14 birthday spankings! everyone joined in on the fun!!!

"White Christmas"

Last week the kids all sat down with me and watched White Christmas!! They loved it, which made me sooo happy because I love this movie too!!! (how can you not love Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye?) Ever since they have been quoting lines here and there. Tonight in the car on the way home from the ward Christmas party they were doing this little "bit". They did it again for me so I could get a video of it! (theirs had a british accent though...)

telling Santa what they wanted for Christmas

Christmas decor and this years ornaments

I adore Christmas time!!!! It is my all time favorite and there is nothing that makes me happier than when I walk into my house and see it all decked out for the holidays! (tastefully of course...not like christmas threw up all over the place!) almost every ornament (like 98%) has a meaning...which makes this tree so special! I really feel like when we look at it, it tells a story, a story about the Fullmers!
Every year we all get a new ornament...here are ours for this year
Kailee- a phone that says text meShawn- the grinchA paino for a family one...cuz it looks just like ours!Austin- a trombone
Bella- a tennis ball (the kids talked me into it)Kyler- Darth Vader (see how much I have grown...I let darth vader be on my tree!!!) Tara- a cute shoe...every girl should have one Tyson- a chef's apronmy village that I haven't set out in 6 years because I didn't have a place for it! This is only about half of it...but at least it's out. I made all these houses when Kailee and Austin were just little! It was theraputic to sit down and paint! I don't know if I could do it now!
the countdown to christmas that I made for the kids....each container has candy and a scripture about Jesus that we will read each night until christmas! the kitchen table centerpiece
and last but certainly not least the mantle!!!
