19....

Although we have a problem with collecting WAY too many things...and the advent today is adding to that list. There is a positive...there are only 4 more to complete this collection!

21 and 20...simple things

Sometimes the advent is nothing more than love, life, and trying to make this little place better. The doors on our little village hide Zack's little gifts for our countdown...he is really into the BELL (hint...hint...)on top of the church.


The antique ornaments we purchased last year make the holiday brighter! They make me think about simpler times.

23 and 22

Day late...but here is the make up:

With 23 days left I have to address Zack's addiction to comic books...with this literally being his only vice, how can I say no? This pic is of a new comic that I think is going to be amazing...and even if it is not the hero has MS, so either way I am a fan.

22 days til x-mas and I knew that I had to get Zack a card to his favorite place in this world....CHIPOTLE! If you haven't tried it then you are missing out however, I don't know if anyone could be as obsessed as Zack.
Until tomorrow...

Oh what a wonderful time of year?

I am in a bit of a confusing state of mind, with a new sewing machine that I can't put away it has made me overly excited for the holidays! But I have picked up some shifts at Barnes and Noble (since I am still only teaching part time, but things are definitely working out and on the up and up). This, I'll just say, distracts from the spirit, whatever spirit there might be.
However, this post is not all ranting. We had a fabulous Thanksgiving at home. I cooked an entire feast...which I will post pics of because I know some people are going to want evidence. I finished my first jacket for myself, which is totally motivating me to start an etsy and/or consigning my clothes....here comes ATOMIC CHARTREUSE...sometime in the future!
Last night Ashlee and I went to see the Rockette's Christmas Spectacular!! It was fun...a little disappointing as I walked outside to West Valley and not the streets of New York...maybe next year.
And lastly but not least...tomorrow begins the countdown to Christmas. I love doing an advent calendar for my husby and this year Bebop may get in on the action. I thought I would post about the fun this year.

To the light of my life...a light to light the words when your wife just wants to sleep (this is not a dirty reference to anything...the gift is a book light).

REAL MEN WEAR ONESIES!

The new year makes me giddy and excited!!! I almost think the New Year is my favorite holiday!!!

This year we decorated for the new year...these ornaments totally remind me of my wedding...I could not resist!!!

So my mom broke my one and only champagne flute...so what did I get for Christmas? 19 new champagne flutes!! Really? Really! What does one do with 19 champagne flutes when your family is made up of two people? One of which doesn't even drink. You decorate for the New Year...that is what you do!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...MY FAVORITE PIC OF THE HOLIDAY......DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!

REAL MEN WEAR ONESIES!!!!
