Sooooo apparently we live across the street from the Griswolds.....Their house lights up the ENTIRE block. Every day I go outside and Mr."Griswold" has added more to his collection of Christmas lights. The first day he started out with the HUGE Santa and the lights around the roof. The Second day he adds Rudolph...The Third day he adds the lights to the tree...The Fourth day he added the white Christmas tree, and the Fifth day he added the window light. This has been a week long process people!!! He has just about started a riot in the neighborhood by making us all look bad!! I was sooooo happy with our cute little icicle lights and lights around the pillars in the front of our house~and then THIS!!! I wasn't prepared for the battle of the christmas lights Griswold style but next year it is ON!!!
Last week we made candy cane hot cocoa but my Sister gave me the idea to try candy cane Mochas.....seriously this is happiness in a cup right here....Jacob had his hot cocoa with a candy cane and I had a mocha and we enjoyed the Christmas cartoon "Prep for Landing"~ I wish he would stay this age forever!!! he is so much fun!!! on a totally random note....while taking my pics I have noticed some of them have a yellow tone to them that I am not digging. So if you are reading this and know how to help me get the yellow tint out of my pics~email me ;0)
When my Mom was here she bought me these really pretty candle holders for my Dining Room. I put some apple pie candles in them!!! They smell soooo good!
I didn't learn my lesson from my last Martha Stewart catastrophe~I saw an episode of her show where she glittered pine cones!! So since I can't resist a glitterfest ever....I tried it!! Shesh Martha Stewart makes everything look soooo easy!! My projects NEVER end up turning out like hers EVER!!! But I get an A for effort right!!
The pine cones have a cinnamon smell to them so combined with the apple pie candles...my house smells like CHRISTMAS!!!! that's right be jealous!!
Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts
