Scenes From: Bits of Christmas & Our Home!

Dec 15, 2011

I can't believe that Christmas is just around the corner. Wow, that just seems lightening fast! I'm getting so, so excited for some time off with the hubs; two glorious weeks to be exact! Eee - family x-mas dinners, mini winter adventures, yummy pancakes in bed, long walks, followed by even longer naps. Guys, I'm tellin ya, I can not wait! Let the countdown begin!! :)
As you can see, our home is all decorated for the holidays. I had so much fun putting it all together! The past few years, I've been so swamped with work, I sadly haven't had the chance to fully embrace Christmas. But this year I was determined to make our home super festive and I'm so glad I did -yay! I can't help but wake up with a huge smile on my face every morning - it's truly such an amazingly magical time of year!!
Martin & I always count our blessings this time of year. We feel so thankful for all the love in our lives, our marriage, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with all the great things this year has brought - the blogging community absolutely being one of them! Sending hugs to you all!! What are you guys looking forward to the most this Christmas?!

Top - H&M (similar)

LOVEEEEEEEEEE

    many more blessings sent your way, you and Martin are only always wished the most shimmering brilliance in life. i'm super happy you are having more time this season to really get into things, you've done a wonderful job with these photos and telling the story both verbally & visually.

    um..........is Martin getting a tickle in on the 1st pic? looks like something Sean would do...i can practically hear your giggle! sorry about my absent-ness lately, but thanks for the visits and sweetness left for me to read!!! seriously - you are my 1st blog visit in about a week, never gone that long before. it's crazy for sure but once again my eyes relaxed and my shoulders dropped down when i saw all the goodness on g&c xo ♥
