It's the most Wonderful time of the year!

Even though I have only worn long sleeves for 2 days (it seems like this year is so much warmer than most!) I have still been listening to Christmas music nonstop since WAY before Thanksgiving. This is my favorite time of year. I love the crisp air (once it cools down), the smells of cinnamon and spice, the decorations, the music... everything! I have been trying to finish all my decorating (and I'm slowly getting closer) and shopping to just enjoy this season. I think I've watched every Christmas movie I own about 5 times each. Some more than others.

I decided to make some of my gifts this year and like usual, the ideas have grown since I've started and they keep getting harder and harder. I have made it so I have quite a bit to do and Christmas is ALMOST HERE!!! I have finished some, but I can't post the pictures until after they have been gifted. (stop thinking... yeah right, you'll never get around to it! It's one of my New Years resolutions remember?!)

We also need to get a Christmas tree! (CHECK) Last year we had the fake tree/real tree talk and Coby I think has folded to the argument and let me win this year without even bringing it up. He has said a couple times how excited he is to go pick out a real tree. Even if the tree is 2 feet tall, there is something special about having that real tree. One year I want to get a permit and cut our own down. Anytime before life flies by; I think that will be so much fun.

More on the list of this years holiday to do list:

-See the temple lights

-possibly zoo lights: we went last year (twice) and it was so fun.

CHECK: -go to Cherry street: SO COOL!

If you live in Arizona and still don't know what this is, let me know.

-CHECK... Thank you Santa! -I am also on the hunt for 2 really cool hot cocoa mugs! ---or this for the man

(possible Christmas idea Santa)

-Decorate some gingerbread houses with some friends

-finish gifts, gifts, and more gifts

-Just Enjoy this time before it's gone!

If anyone wants to do any of this: let me know!!!
