It's the season

It's the season for Christmas trees,and gingerbread houses,and cookies,and hot cocoa, and all of that good stuff. For me it's more like the season for Pero( do you know what that is?If not,click here),lots of lazy days in pj's , and this year hopefully some handmade gifts.
But it's crazy how fast this past month has gone by. It's seems just yesterday was halloween! No kidding!
We had a great Thanksgiving, with my parents over and a surprise visit from my BFF Patricia and her family.It was a great weekend and we got to relax and enjoy our company. But then as soon as it was over it was like, back to reality!Hello! I do love to decorate for Christmas, but we don't have a lot of stuff, so this year I'm trying to make some things. I did succeed in making a skirt for our Christmas tree, turned out pretty cute. And this next week , with Shay being gone , I plan on making some more x-mas craft for our house.
I do not look forward to snow, or the cold, but I do enjoy lazy saturdays ( or any day of the week for that matter) and being all cuddled up inside!
And just so there are some pics, here are some random ones from the past couple of months

The cutest super heroes in the house!

I can't believe it's December already! This year has gone by extra fast for me. I'm almost glad its over though, I'm ready for a New Year and a new beginning.

Here are some pictures of our trip to Indiana. For those who didn't know, we went there for Thanksgiving. We had a lot of fun, but didn't exactly enjoy getting stuck on a snowstorm on the way there! (we drove 3200 miles!) But we made it! When we came back  I couldn't wait to put up our Christmas tree. I really like it, specially the glow the lights give out. I enjoy sitting in our living room, with just the tree lit up and watch a Christmas movie. I also want to go to Temple Square and enjoy the lights. We haven't been in a couple of years because it was so cold and Daniel and all. But Thursday is looking really nice, we might have to go do that. Hope all of you have a good Holiday Season, it's only now finally starting to feel like Christmas to me. Love, The Taylor's!
