December 1st

Well today is December 1st ..

I guess you could say that there are many things to be looking forward to!

There are 24 days left until Christmas and for the first time in a few years I am actually excited ..
I hate that Christmas has become all about the best gifts and spending all the money
you have on crap.  It should be about spending the day with the ones you love and celebrating the season. 
adorable snowman/lightbulb ornament!
We are getting closer and closer to getting our first home and we are overly excited. 
 Ok well overly excited around each other.
I try not to be so excited when speaking to others quiet yet due to the fact
there is still a chance we wont get the place
and I hate to have been so excited publicly and then .. it fall threw the drain.
But I'm still staying positive!

Were spending our first weekend of this wonderful month taking our Christmas card pictures ..
oh yes that is right I said it ..
for the first time in awhile I am not ahead of the game
and we are just now getting pictures.
Therefore we will race home to make our cards so they will be ready to mail next week
I don't have anxiety yet .. check back Saturday around 5!
 Felt String Hanger Reindeer & Christmas Tree
Hopefully were getting our tree this weekend!
Decorating the tree and the house
has always been my favorite part of December/Christmas ..
 It always brings back memories of growing up and I just love the smell ..
I want to start a tradition with Steven and I
 that we will be able to do with our children one day ..
I have not put much thought into the day we get the tree
and when we decorate and what food we would eat ..
yes I think about things a little too much
but hey
I love traditions!
