It's the MOST wonderful time of the year!

As I have mentioned before Christmas is my most favorite time of the year and this year has already proven to be delightfully wonderful. I went to see A Christmas Carol in West Point, Georgia this weekend with my sweet girls and it was such fun! It really got me thinking about my Christmas cheer and now I am really really in the Christmas spirit!

Me, Beka, and Brittni after the play

We hung the mistletoe in my house... just in case Prince Charming stops by! :)

Then the next night several friends met at my house to do the Victorian Front Porch Walking Tour. We listen to choirs sing and play the hand bells. Then we walked up and down the streets visiting with friends and checking out the beautiful decorations...after we were nice and frozen we headed back to my house for some sweets and warm drinks. We had such a great time...can't wait for next year!

Here I am with my Mrs. Clause apron on...getting ready to enjoy some Oreo bon bons! :)

This is one of the platters of desserts that I made...looks like there are already some empty spots, who has been snacking early?? The goodies included: chocolate covered pretzels, Oreo bon bons, coconut macroons, orange pecan cookies, chocolate covered pepermint sticks, and baklava--YUM YUM! We also had hot apple cider, hot chocolate, coffee, and egg nog (the real stuff---thanks Jennifer!!)


I am sure there will be more Christmas posts to come, as my holiday schedule is still packed with many more fun filled events!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree.... this is one of my favorite parts of Christmas! This year my tree is extra special because this is the first year it has all of my ornaments that were special to me from my childhood, ornaments from every country my grandmother visited, and several Pat Buckley Moss ornaments that my aunt helped me collect while I was growing up. My tree is so personal and each ornament holds a different story or memory...I just love sitting back and looking at it. What a great reminder of all that God has blessed me with and it gives me an awesome opportunity to thank Him with a grateful heart!
