Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I absolutely, without a doubt, LOVE Christmas. I love everything about the Christmas season. Most of all, I love the anticipation of Christmas Eve and celebrating Christ's birth. 

My family has so many wonderful traditions that also make this holiday season so great. One of the biggest traditions that my family has is making cookies and candy! Every year we make an assorted list of candy and cookies and then deliver it to family and friends. In my opinion, there is nothing better than a homemade, hand delivered goody bag of holiday cheer!  

Here are all the ingredients for our baking extravaganza and a picture of some of the (my favorite) peanut butter blossoms we made!

 My parents recently got a new fence, and naturally needed a new path walkway. David is handy, and was available. This was the end product. I would say it turned out to be an absolute success!

At the beginning of December, David and I went to Dallas for the weekend to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary!! We also had some fun with Mom and Dad. We found ourselves decorating cookies at Crate & Barrel (one of my MOST favorite stores). It was so great, even Dad decorated a cookie! Talk about getting into the Christmas spirit!

This was the end result of our cookie decorating experience. Naturally, you could eat the cookies after you finished decorating them. Of course, I wanted to take a picture..... However, I wasn't quick enough with my camera! Can you guess which cookie is David's? :) 

Before we headed back to Louisiana, Mom and Dad had a special treat planned for us. We got to visit a real live poinsettia farm! While most people wouldn't get excited about such events, David and I both have an absolute love of plants/flowers and we loved seeing it! Mom and Dad got a picture with Santa, and we all got to go on a hay ride. It was such a fun experience and absolutely breath taking!

  If I had to summarize our 6th year of marriage it would be in one word: blessed. There are so many incredible things that have happened this past year, and I can't wait for the next 6, 20 and 60 years of marriage! We said when we got married that we were similar enough to be compatible, and different enough to keep each other interested. I would definitely say that is absolutely true!

This is the most wonderful time of the year, and I hope you and yours have truly enjoyed this Christmas season!
