The Holidays are here! (and Ava can participate!)

OKAY so i am totally nuts about the holidays! basically any reason to CELEBRATE i love. I love getting in the spirit, being festive, i totally listen to christmas music a week before thanksgiving and i secretly appreciate all the stores putting out their xmas decorations before halloween...just makes it last longer! I love the pumpkin spice lattes and the egg nog, i love a reason to throw a party, drink more, sing more, have holiday outfits, boots, rain, snow, waking up to a freezing house and having a reason to wear UGG boots all day long.
i LOVE this time of year!

And i also LOVE that my daughter is old enough and aware enough to see, smell, taste, hear all the beautiful things this time of year brings. she is fascinated by xmas twinkle lights and im sure she will rip every one of those ornaments off the tree. she loves the music i play in the car (we have officially programmed every station that plays xmas music...107.9 will have to wait!) and i have watched xmas themed movies atleast 5 times so far...and its not even DECEMBER!

We wear our boots and hats and have a cozy blanket in the car :) We go out to coffee and she gets her vanilla milk.

In addition to all the festivities, we get more and more FAMILY TIME:) I love how we all get together, chris and I are married and each year I feel like our families blends more and more. He actually called my Dad "Dad" the other day. he didnt mean to, but i liked it :)

Life is great, we feel so blessed.
