There are so many things that I am looking forward to this holiday season. These are a few photos from last year. Seeing your child in awe over the decorations on the tree is an amazing feeling. Emma is our last child so I soak it all in as much as I can.

 Baking and setting out cookies for santa is a given, but having the memory of a child and her grandmother is priceless. This year not only will Gramma be here but so will Nana (she lives in colorado) and Papa. The joy I will have to see thwm doing this together is again priceless.

 I have already decorated my porch for the holidays. This photo is last years but you get the idea. I like to decorate the porch the day after Halloween because lets face it, its frickin freeking here in Minnesnowta pretty darn close after halloween and I dont wanna freeze my butt off. I love my porch during thanksgiving and christmas time. I feel like Chevy Chase in Christmas Vacation when these lights go on :)

I know that this year will be magical. My family will be here and my house will be busting at the seams with Love, Cheer and Sweet memories to last a lifetime!

Halloween

Our Little Jessie went trick or treating and had a fabulous time!!! She made out like a bandit and will have candy until next Halloween I think. Ya know how Daddy's are with candy. I decided to make her costume again this year. I find it jut means a little more when you put your heart and soul into a project, espically for someone else. Her reaction was priceless when she saw herself. She stared in the mirror and was like "WOWWWWWWWW"!!!!! That made me all sappy. I have a few more pics that I would like to share but my neighbor hasent sent them to me yet so I went ahead and posted this one so theres not a halloween post in december lol. I hope that you all had a memorable happy halloween with your loved ones. I know I did :)
