hello December

I have been waiting for you. On this first day of December, I woke up to 29 degree weather! That is not the norm in Texas....I have worn shorts on Christmas before. The ice on the foliage, the hot cocoa with breakfast, and bundling up to get out the door was the perfect way to start this Christmasy month off right. Today, I will finish the decorating of the tree (Sawyer decorated it for us Thanksgiving evening) and put my sweet Nativity scene out. Oh how I am a fan of this time of year.

and I am a fan....
