'Tis the Season

I love Christmas time. It's such a nostalgic time of year. The holiday memories of growing up, songs that I hear on the radio, and thoroughly loving when family comes to town. I'm so happy this time of year.

Since being married, I've always wanted my house (whenever I were to get one) to look like a gingerbread house decorated with lights. I prefer the big white lights that stay in one place. Chris is of course on board to do anything with the outside of the house, so he put up lights earlier last week. The finished product:

I probably won't like the electric bill coming at the end this month, but it will be worth it.

Speaking of Christmas music...Friday night we went to the downtown Plano tree lighting. The group Chris sings with performed so we braved the (not so cold compared to today-28) weather to listen to them. They are very talented and fun to listen to.

There's my sweetie. No, he doesn't need glasses, but he's sporting a new line just in at his office. Why not!

My home boys loving their winter hats purchased for this winter. For some reason the ones from last year don't fit. It couldn't be that my little guys are growing up! I'm so grateful that they get excited about little things. Chris got home late Monday night so the boys and I had some friends over and we made gingerbread houses. The kids had a lot of fun. Colin even joined in at the end.
