It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year....

This is by far my absolute most favorite time of the year! There is something so nostalgic to me about the holidays. I actually starting dating my husband on Christmas night 9 years ago, so the holiday holds a special significance to me. That and the pretty twinkly lights, the crisp air where you can almost smell Christmas as it gets closer, baking cookies and other holiday treats, making loved ones gifts, etc. I just love it all! So though this post is very short, I will be posting various holiday themed recipes, handmade gifts, and some menu ideas as well. Also, check out this nifty website where you can create your own wishlists!!! The widget is in my blog margin. If you join and create your own wishlists don't forget to add me as a friend - I would love to see what your wishing for ;) I will be adding different things periodically starting this week, so don't forget to stop back and check them out! I also wanted to share a couple pic's from a place we go to all the time called Johnson's Farm. They had the whole playground area done up in lights, had a reindeer and also marshmallow roasting. We'll definitely be going back a couple times! So fun!!

The gorgeous reindeer! Her name is Vixen and I so wanted to go in there and hug her!! lol

PS - thank you SO much to everyone that commented about my poor little piggy boy =( I was very sad that day and your comments really cheered me up. I am such an animal lover and I had no idea how much I would miss the little fella when he was gone....
