The most wonderful time...

I have not been this excited about Christmas in a long time! We even put up our Christmas tree WAY early...B's went up right after Halloween and the family tree was up and decorated a week before Thanksgiving. Now, I love Thanksgiving I do, I love to make it it's own holiday. I love getting together with family eating a delicious home cooked meal and not having to worry about crowed stores, coooolllddddd weather and all the hustle and bustle....B U T this year Christmas can't come soon enough!!! I know it's because I am ready for a visit home.... I'm so excited to see all my loved friends and family! I'm ready for my family tree...decorations...food...cookies...I could go on and on {I'm even missing some brisk weather}!! Anywho here are some of my favorite Christmas things...

It is not Christmas without this guy...

I love a beautifully decorated mantle...

Now-this is new to me...I haven't seen this back home but it's a M family must now...

On Halloween we had Mikes cousins over and made dinner, ate smores and went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. It was so much fun! Poor little B fell fast asleep in the middle of candy collecting! Such a doll! We had a wonderful Halloween this year! My mom is here this year to enjoy it with us! We have had so much fun hanging out with her! She is the Best!!!!
