City.Country.Music.Cookies.Candles.Coffee.Morning Frost....we didn't start the fire.

Double points if you get my title.
{Yeah..I made myself laugh}

First...click HERE and let this pretty song play while you scroll.
Man I miss the days when music played on blogs...it was the best!

Now...onto my little entry here.
I'm not sure which I love better at Christmas time..the city or the country.
So glad I can have the best of both worlds.

It's hardly snowed this year...maybe twice? I've been wearing sweaters and a scarf outside.
My kids are complaining about the lack of winter.

It's coming though..it's coming..we just wish it were here BEFORE Christmas!
...and gone by April. Which it won't be..I'm sure we'll have a blizzard on Easter.

I could just squeeze him forever!!!
That's his favorite hat...and that little, mini-man jacket..sigh..he's so grown up.

I have this little coffee cup addiction...{..don't ask my kids about it.}
Each season I buy a new one...and purge the old.

Listen to me...what you pour your coffee into,
determines the quality of your beverage.

I'm not kidding..coffee tastes better in a new, super cute mug/cup.

Not everyone in the house agrees with my theory..
..but I did buy us lovebirds coordinating ones for Christmas.
Thank you Hobby Lobby.

Favorite thing about my life? The people in it.
One in particular...wink.|

What do you think about his beard?
I LOVE the way it looks...but the way it feels? Hmmm....

We are officially on Christmas break.

We are officially making 11,000 cookies this week.
We are officially probably going to eat 10,000 of them before Christmas Eve.

"It looks like my Nutcrackers have been in Sid's room!"
...Sam, owner of the Nutcrackers and kind brother to the Nutcracker dismantler.
Sam...also thankful for hot glue guns.

I usually keep an antique bowl of pinecones on my table during Christmas.
This year we went fancy.
I can't tell you how many times the kids have lit the candles.

I'm mostly wrapped already!
It's truly a Christmas miracle.

Hope you're enjoying your holiday season.
We are.
