The Christmas Season Comes to a Close

As the Christmas season ends, and the new year begins I just wanted to post a few more pictures from the holiday season of yet one more of my favourite parts of this time of year.. the Christmas tree! Some of them are from my mom's house too!

Picking out a spruce, cutting it down and decorating it in the living room is a Christmas staple, and this year was extra special because it was my first Christmas with Wes in our new house. I took some pictures of some ornaments on our first tree together! And, the best part? THE REFRESHING SMELL OF SPRUCE IN OUR HOME!!

The Joys of Christmas, Part Four: Men of The Snow

Yep, snowmen! I love snowmen, in any shape or size! There's just something so cute about them, they are definitely one of my favourite parts of the holidays!

The Joys of Christmas, Part Two: Winter Wonderland

At this time of year, I like to grab my camera and just go for a walk in the frosty winter wonderland. I especially love how the fluffy flakes stick to the prickly needles, and the crisp air makes every breath noticeable. It's such a gorgeous time of year!

The Joys of Christmas, Part One: Christmas Baking!

December is here and Christmas fast approaching. At this beautiful time of the year we get so busy and sometimes think, "well, we could skip the holiday baking", but it's important not to because it's one of my favourite parts of the holidays, and not just because of the tasty sweets! It's fun to spend time with friends and family making cookies, while listening to Boney M!

This year my mom came over and we spent the whole weekend baking! It was a long haul, with emergency "jump-in-the-car-get-coconut-and-butterscotch- visits to the local store and troubles with the 'Gramma Cookie' dough being too sticky. But, this just added to the excitement, and a few bottles of wine later my mom and I had much to show(minus the tarts Wes kept stealing)!

Old Fashioned Entertainment

Call me lame. Call me a sixty-year-old living in a young adult's body, but I think it's just wonderful to watch the birds play outside our living room window. A few weeks after we moved into our home I noticed we had some Blue Jays visiting once in a while. Not long after, I purchased a hanging bird feeder. Since then, it has been a joy to watch the cute little birds come and feed in the mornings while I drink my java. But, I have yet to get some shots of the beautiful Blue Jays!

Meet Baby Ethan

Meet my adorable, handsome nephew Ethan Feilberg. At ten months, he is so precious and I am so proud of my brother and his wife as wonderful new parents. I figured I just had to put pictures of Ethan up on the blog, because babies are the most beautiful pieces of nature's puzzle. They melt your soul with their big bright eyes and soft giggles.
