It's beginning to look.....

a  lot like Christmas!! 

The Christmas Tree is lit and the kids are fast asleep under it.  A fire is lit in the fireplace,  the lights outside are all aglow and yep, the C-O-L-D winter weather has arrived.  Snow to arrive  next week......
 Tis the season!

This was Gizmo & Tucker last night no joke, maybe an hour after we got the tree decorated.  They both LOVE the Christmas Tree skirt for some reason.  This is usually where we find them during Christmas.

What is it about Christmas time where you can just sit and enjoy the lights and the spirit of the season?

We're so glad we got the lights outside put up before the weekend.  I can't even imagine putting up the lights outside this weekend.  BRRRRR!  It was super freezing just running back and forth from the house to the garage freezer while we were making chocolate and when we got down the Christmas boxes.

I made a crazy amount of chocolates this weekend.  Of course, no photo yet.  I made, kisses for the cookies I'll be making on Saturday for our exchange on Sunday.  Chocolate Covered Cherries and Mint Chocolate Covered pretzles, mmmmmmm.  Yep, they all had to pass the 'quality control inspection'.  :o)

Here's hoping the Christmas Cards will be finished this week and in the mail.  I always start to panic a bit when we start getting everyone elses cards.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!

Happy December!

Wow, can you believe that the Holiday season moving full steam ahead??

I can hardly believe that Christmas is only 24 days away!! Where has the year gone?

We hope you had a great Thanksgiving and were able to spend time with family and friends! We had a wonderful Turkey Day After Dinner with our folks, Glen's brother Rick and cousins Eric & John. Glen and Rick deep fried another fantastic turkey and we had a boatload of other yummy items to go with it.

I always say I'm going to take more photos, but of course, as usual it didn't happen. This particular Turkey Day, the only time the camera came out was when my dad asked us to pass the butter and I passed it to my cousin Eric and it ended up in the middle of his plate in his mashed potatoes. Always a good laugh (and sport too!!!)

We were also able to get our Christmas decorations up over the long weekend, with the exception of Our Tree which I think we'll do this week.

Here's a photo of Our Christmas Village. Photos of the outside lights to come now that we've got a bit of snow!

I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season. I promise not to be such a blog slacker. Hopefully I can take a few photos of the snow we got yesterday and today and post tomorrow. It looks beautiful!

Happy Holidays!
