It's time!

Well it is that time of year again!  Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year.  I love covering up with Christmas blankets on the couch, while watching cheesy holiday movies on TV that I have seen a million times over.  And drinking hot chocolate while wrapping presents with ELF playing in the background.  I even like putting lights on the tree.  But one of my all time favorite things to do, and I have done it since I was a little kid... I like to go downstairs very early in the morning and plug in the tree lights and just sit.  I settle down right in front of the tree and look at all of the decorations and lights and glitter.  I actually decided to update my blog while sitting there just a few minutes ago! And while yes this year is a little different, well, a LOT different.  The lowest the temp. has gotten here is 72 and I have yet to drink hot chocolate because of said temperature and due to the fact that I am 24 million months pregnant (or so it seems).  And I have chosen sleep a few more mornings that I normally do instead of sitting in front of the tree,   I am still trying to enjoy some of the things I love doing around this time.  I have been making quite a few holiday snacks and gifts this year.   Nothing real fancy but fun! 

The Christmas tree! :)

 Christopher looking at the tree with ornaments on it for the first time this year.  Soon after this picture he was told "don't touch the ornaments" for the first of probably a zillion times this year.

He loves to kiss the really pretty ornaments.

And now the yummy treats!  I would show you some of the crafts I have been making, but they are Christmas gifts, and I don't want to spoil the surprise. 

 Our newest favorite treat (thanks Sue) Rollos, pretzels, and M&Ms or as we call em.. RPMs. So simple to make but oh-so-yummy!!!

And spicey Texas Trash!  It has been a big hit this year. 

Well so far that about wraps it up!  Hahah  WRAPS it up.  Okay come on people you know that was kinda funny!  The craziness is about to begin here so I can not guarantee that updates will come quickly, but I do promise to do my best.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
