An early preparation...

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I am already in the Christmas spirit (2 months early)! 
Heck, I am in the Christmas spirit all year long.

I was so excited to see that Jessi from Naptime Diaries has created an Advent Calendar. It is just what I have been searching for. This will be the perfect way for us to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas every day during Advent. Meaningful and stylish...it will be a great addition to our holiday decor. 
Please go and check out her online shop.
Lucky me, I was able to get a FREE print for ordering the Advent Calendar today. 
So grateful.  

'Tis a great day! 

Happy Friday, everyone!

Fall Family Fun!

Man oh man, have we been having fun! So much fun, I almost feel guilty. Life has been grand as our little family enjoys every single day. We are so blessed. SO, SO blessed. 
I hope Xander has been having as much fun as we have been. He doesn't seem to be complaining one bit.  Between pumpkin patches, driving to see the fall foliage, and carving pumpkins with the best of friends, we are full of season spirit.  
Having fun with pumpkins at Willey's Farms!

Foliage at Valley Forge


Pumpkin carving/ painting with the best buds!
My favorite of the male species. So handsome/cute.
I am surely in love with these two.
After Christmas (of course), this is my favorite time of year. I love the colors, the smells, the company, and the traditions. I really value every minute spent with my family and love creating new traditions for Alexander. I want every day to be so meaningful and special. I don't want to miss a single opportunity.    

Speaking of new traditions... I think I volunteered to have Thanksgiving dinner at my house. Well I don't think... I know I did. I am excited and extremely nervous at the same time. I have never made a dinner that big for that many people. I am sure I will be blogging a lot more about that in November. 

This weekend I am working so not too much planned, but next weekend we are going to a Baby Costume Party & "Punkin' Chunkin". More on that to follow. 

On a Christmas note... I am getting super pumped for this holiday season. It is Xander's first Christmas and so many memories are to be made. I can't wait to share my love of this holiday with him. Who doesn't love to celebrate the birth of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ?!         To say I am excited is a bit of an understatement. 

For now, I will continue to enjoy every single second of the rest of this blessed Fall Season!

New Look

I have been away for about a month. Lots of family stuff to tend to, including the passing of my Grandmom. Between taking care of Xander, I tried to update my blog yesterday. I updated the look but didn't have time to write a post. 
This is a small and quick blurb before I run out the door for a busy, rainy day of work.
Loving the light falling rain, the quiet peace outside, and my cup of French Vanilla coffee.  After some praise and prayer, I think I am ready to jump start my day! 

Happy Friday!
