The True Meaning of Christmas

This video is simply amazing. It brought tears to my eyes, and reiterated to me what Christmas is truly about, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

May the Christmas season bring much joy and remind us of the true meaning of Christmas. Christ's Birth.

dip dip dip.

SOOOOOOOO.... while walking through the grocery store.... we felt the need to dip, gingerbread marshmallows, pretzels, and of course OREOS. We also decided we needed three different types of chocolate. DARK, MILK, and WHITE. We ended up having two trays full, don't know what we are going to do with all of them, probably eat them and gain 10 lbs or so.....Yay for holiday weight.

If anyone is having a chocolate fix, we got it for ya :)

Here are the delicious goodies below. YUM. YUM. YUM.

over all picture of the goods.

pretzels, dipped in milk chocolate, drizzled with dark and white.

WINTER WONDER LAND

We are so excited for the holiday season, we have watched so many Christmas movies, listened to way to many Christmas songs and definitely wanted to fit in the Botanical Gardens. For those of you who have been its soooooo awesome isn't it?! For those of you who haven't, YOU SHOULD GO! They have the most amazing lights, its so relaxing and definitely puts you in the holiday spirit. Here are some pictures we took there. ENJOY.
