It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

This is my favorite time of the year!! After enjoying a wonderful family Thanksgiving at my brothers home (Thank you Dan,Amy, & Noah!!) Christmas season officially begins for me!! We kick off Black Friday with our girls tradition of hitting Starbucks (Peppermint Mochas all around!) at opening and shopping until we drop!! (this years marathon was 10 hours!!) The rest of the weekend is devoted to decorating!!! Ahhh!!! I LOVE the ambiance of the season... Swoon!!! 

Whether it be baking cookies.. 

5 doz down several more dozen to go!!

Or listening to your fav Christmas Jingles, 

Between the movies, the specials, the decorations, the food, fun, family, & friends it truly is the most wonderful time of the year!!!

 

Here's wishing you a magical Christmas season!! TTYL <3
