Tis the Season!

Okay so literally  my favorite time of year is Christmas...you can call it the holiday season or whatnot but to me it's Christmas!  Give me the snow, the trees, the lights the decorations....I love it!

We actually decorated before Thanksgiving this year because we had time to go buy a Christmas tree (fake of course because Maverick loves water and we knew there would be no stopping him from drinking the tree water). Of course in the midst of buying the tree, the lights and a snow shovel we decided the only logical thing to do would be to decorate the house that night!

Ignore the mess we literally took the picture right away!  As we have progressed through the month the tree has been added to, including a warmer that smells like a real tree that is turns on the same time as the tree!

There is something about Christmas time that makes me feel warm and fuzzy all cuddled up on the couch watching movies with the dog that I can't get any other time of year.  People seem nicer (and more stressed...a strange combination I know) during the holidays.  Families get together and friends reconnect and find time for each other...it's great!

So Michelle and I decided to craft on Saturday all Christmas related crafts!  It was so much fun...and there was so much mess!
First we wanted to find a fun way to hang the Christmas cards we would get...

Then we sprayed clothespins with green glitter spray paint to hang the cards with...the true test will be if this is still standing after I get home today!

Then came the true challenge of the night...create a hat for the school's Snowman Hat contest...I decided it would be fun to make a Christmas tree scene...I blame Michelle for inspiring me!

The darn thing is so heavy I don't know if I will be able to actually walk with it on my head!  Oh well it lights up so I should get points for that!

Well only a few more days to go until Christmas and I can't wait!  The snow is coming down and I have delicious coffee and a quiet office...for now!

With Love Always,

Alex
