Currently: December 2017

BySamantha

Lighting~ Our house. We are working on decorating a bit this Christmas but it’s also a bit weird as we are planning to be away this year.

Spending~ Time with each other. December is such a busy month with parties and concerts and all the things that we are trying to spend as much time as we can doing fun stuff together.

Choosing~ Activities to enjoy on our trip. The small bit of gifts we are giving the kids as the majority of their gift will be going this little family vacay and fun activities we plan to do there.

Sending~ Ourselves! ha ha as I mentioned above we are heading away for the holidays so trying to get everything ready before we go.

Singing~ All the Christmas carols of course! What else would we be singing?! I love this time of year and love to soak up as much carols as I can. My personal favorites are O Holy Night, It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and Baby it’s cold outside. What are your favorite carols?

We are linking up with Anne of In Residence . Click on the link and check out what lots of other bloggers are currently up to!

  3. I love the falling snow on your blog! <3
    Also traveling for the Holidays can be hard so I'm glad y'all are focusing on yourselves in that time before you leave!

  4. Ooh that gift wrapping is gorgeous – I love natural elements. My family traveled to Costa Rica once for Christmas – it was kind of weird not to be home (especially as we’re from Michigan, so we’re used to a white Christmas), but the memories from all of the stuff we did together on that trip made it one of our favorite Christmases. Plus Christmas Day on the beach turns out to be hard to beat 🙂 Enjoy your trip!!
