... getting Christmas cards in the mail! It's so fun to look forward to the mail coming throughout the month of December! I love having a wall plastered with adorable pictures of lifelong friends. It means so much to me.
... having a counter full of goodies and gifts from neighbors and friends. I feel so loved.
... that this year I ventured into candy-making land! I decided to bake treats as my gifts for friends and neighbors and it was a total blast. I made fudge, caramels, mints, peppermint bark, and p.b squares. My first time around for all of these things so it was a fun adventure. (I have to shout out to my friend Jessica who totally inspires me to do all of these things! She's inspired me to start cooking again, baking, candy-making, paint my whole house, decorate my house, bake bread, etc. etc. What a woman!)
.. that today is the first day of Dave's vacation!! YIPPEEHOORAYYEEHAWARIBAARIBAWHOOHA!!!!!!
... that Christmas is in two days! I feel ready now so bring it on!!
... all of you!
