FROM ME TO YOU {+ GIVEAWAY!-CLOSED}

 This morning we woke up to not only being alive still - but snow!

Less than an inch of snow, but it's snow and that's all that matters.

This girl right here wants a very white Christmas, so I'm pretty happy we have at least a little bit.

We are supposed to get up to 2 inches today - supposed being the key word there.

Let's see if that actually happens.

Last night we got most of our wrapping done.

Well, Billy got our wrapping done and I just supplied the wine, bows and gift tags.

I did wrap Billy gifts though, of course.

Rocky was in charge of the ribbon and he did a damn good job.

I am the worlds worst wrapper. 

If there was a contest, I would win that title.

However, I did find some brown packing paper that makes my life a bit easier when wrapping

since it's a bit thicker and therefore doesn't rip at the tiniest of movements.

 

Anyways, what I'm really trying to get at {this post is all over the place! sorry) today is that

 this Christmas I hope your hearts and your homes are filled with so much love. 

I hope you have plenty of laughs and memories made with your loved ones.

I hope you hug them and tell them how much they mean to you.

And I hope you eat a lot of cookies.

Lots of them.

 

I also want to get semi sentimental for a moment and say thank you for reading my blog.

This blog has been such a blessing to me and I truly value all of you who I've "met" (some literally)

through here. It brings me so much happiness everyday!

This weekend we are having our Christmas celebration with my parents on Saturday

then heading to Cleveland to be with Billy's family on Sunday, and will be there throughout Christmas.

I'm incredibly thankful for both sets of parents.

They are truly huge blessings in our life!

Also, Billy's brother just bought his very own first place and 

we can't wait to congratulate him and see it!

His side of the family always has a big party on Christmas Eve and this year 

it's held at Billy's parents house, so we are really looking forward to that.
