Christmas time is here

O.k. maybe Christmas time isn't quite here but I just love Christmas so much that I can't contain my excitement any longer. There is just something about this season that makes me giddy, I think it's a combination of things like drinking Caramel apple spice by the gallons, my love for baking and decorating my home, snow frosted trees reflecting the sparkle of Christmas lights and not to mention the celebration of the birth of Jesus, who I happen to love a lot. I have goose bumps just thinking about it. Anyways our life is a little chaotic this year with building a house and going though our current house deciding what is needed and what is not in a fashion that still allows us to move. I have to admit that because of the chaos I pondered the idea of not decorating this year because we have such high hope of moving into our new place so soon after Christmas......but then I came to my senses and realized that I was being ridiculous and not decorating is not an option. So I will be decorating and so I thought would share a bit of what you may see at our house come the 1st of December.

Joy is my Theme this year and I love this set up....so I think I'll copy it

This tree is very similar to the style of ours but I also love the ornaments in the window

Last year I made this amazing Gingerbread house with a good friend and her amazing mom, this year I think if would be neat to make a white one.

I love bells. I think lining the path to our house would be so charming, unless Honey thinks they're balls to play with and takes off with them. That would not be so charming.

What I love about winter

Moving to Saskatchewan has caused me to render up some feeling about winter that I will not share because the mere thought of them bring tears to my eyes. However I will share the wonderful things that the changing of the seasons brings to us that putts a smile on my face and fills my heart with joy

#1: Blankets to cozy up under

#2: I'm not a huge fan of hot drinks but Apple cider I love, especially with whipping cream and caramel ;)

#3: As I drove through our soon to be new neighborhood yesterday I watched as families put up there Christmas lights... I love the twinkling of Christmas lights

#4: Christmas baking (this is my favorite cookie)

#5: Snow angles

#6: Snow covered trees, so pretty

#7: And of course Eloise, this was my favorite Christmas Story when I was younger and now it's been made into a movie, it's a children's movie but I love love love it and watch it several times every Christmas

An Electrical experiance

So 5 very long days, 1 Electrician, 1 Carpenter, 8 trips to Home Depot, a large amount of fast food, a bag of Halloween candy, at least a dozen energy drinks and 1 visit from the police (apparently people don't like it when you're still working on your house at 3am oooops) later our house is now wired and ready to go. One of Joel's closest friends came in from Alberta to help us out and he did an amazing job.
