• It’s a Wonderful Life

    Christmas is literally right around the corner and with it comes my annual Christmas movie list. I try to watch fun Christmas movies to get me into the Christmas spirit, which it usually does. I like watching movies with snow and people celebrating the holiday. One of the movies I watch with my mom when I go to their house for Christmas is “It’s a Wonderful Life”, starring the ever talented Jimmy Stewart and the…

  • Gingerbread x2

    During this holiday season, our church is doing some fun things to celebrate this season. Yesterday was not only ugly Christmas sweater, but a gingerbread baking contest. Both Myke and I signed up, which means we were going against one another, which can get pretty competitive and trash talk usually ensues. We both looked up our own recipes and did our own baking.

It’s safe to…

I’m usually not a big fan of anything Christmas before Thanksgiving just because I love the idea of Thanksgiving-fall, food, and family-a perfect combo! Ever since college, I’ve lightened up a little bit. I still don’t allow Christmas music to be played until we are done eating our turkey and pie. Last year…
