Flowers.

When i was young, I used to only like on kind of flower.
Since then i have grown to love every and any kind.
There's nothing better than to have a fresh bouquet of flowers.

My grandpa buys my grandma a fresh bouquet every week.
It's sort of his trademark.
It's adorable.

I might ask my hubby to continue this tradition.

p.s. These [peonies] are my new favorites.
Beautiful, aren't they?

Excitement.

This was taken Christmas eve.
She was so excited for Santa.
In fact, she had been waiting for over a month.

Santa came the next morning.
She could not believe her eyes.
She believes.
We believe.

I know i've said this a time or two before...
But those blues kill me.
I just can't get over the fact that I have a blue-eyed babe!

My two both do.
He loves it.

These little Hallmark treasures are Kate's favorite item in our house.

They are so fun!

Thanks GB.

Got this rad ornament at Krumpet's in St George a couple years back.
It has been the number one complimented item in my house this holiday season.
It's fun.

Did i mention i have 2 trees up this year?
A real one and a fake one.
I think i will have to stick with the real thing next year.
What do you prefer?

Hope you all have a Merry CHRISTmas.
