Christmas...

Christmas is my favorite time of the year...I love everything about it. For me it starts in September. The kids are going back to school, the weather changes and so does our beautiful landscape, we got Monday night football, all our favorite shows come back on tv, before you know it Halloween is here then you blink and it's Thanksgiving. Next thing you know you take a nap on a chilly afternoon all cuddled up in your favorite blanket in front of the fireplace while your sugar cookies are baking in the oven and you wake up and it's January 15th.
Where does the time go? I prefer to NOT sleep at all and savor every enchanted, memorable, delicious, twinkling~blinking, delightful, miraculous moment of pure heaven. CHRISTMAS is the most WONDERFUL time of the year!!!!

This Christmas was especially crazy and busy for my family...In a nutshell this Christmas we spent time with friends and family here in Texas and in Arizona... we flew to Las Vegas... and we celebrated the beautiful birth of our savior Jesus Christ with all our loved ones.

Here are a few select photo's of the holidays...

And now I have woken up from my nap!!! As I sit here and look thru the hundreds of photos' we took capturing every precious moment we got to spend with friends and family, I thank the Lord for how truly blessed we all are. It's not the material items I look back on BUT it's the time we had to share with people we love the most that brings us true joy.
