Fa La La La La!!! La La La La!

I love Christmas! I am kinda sad that snow has not shown it's face around here... I have a solution to that though!! I close all my blinds, turn on the Christmas music and just pretend that snow is falling outside:)! Haha ok just kidding. Seriously though, can I ask a question...? What is with people who live here in Utah, that do not love snow?? They all hate it! Nathan and I always talk about this, and are stumped as to how people can not just love the beauty of snow, they only see the negative side of it (yes Taryn, Liz & April I am speaking to you, haha love you anyway:). Anyway last year at Pottery Barn they had the coolest Glittery Santa painting, that I sooo wanted! I just did not want to pay 100 dollars for it. So this year I made one myself...It is not the same as the one at PB, but I still think it is very fun! Especially considering I only paid 3.00 for the glitter, the other materials I already had. I added a few pictures of my house (again) with some Christmas decor. I love to see pics of how people decorate their homes. Can I convince any of you to post some of yours?? Anyway MERRY CHRISTMAS SEASON!!! Can I just add that I love going to Costco this time of year, as I drive to that wonderful store I like to sing "It's the most wonderful time of the year to go to Costco!" Sad but true I really do sing it, and Becca always tells me to please stop singing:).

Snow IS beautiful. It's just very cold ... and not fun to drive in. Ha ha. I actually really love snow in December. As Bing Crosby says, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas". :) I'm excited to see you tomorrow! So happy I got a shout out on your blog!!

I love and miss the snow. I absolutely adore your Santa. You don't need PB....you ARE the brains of such people that go to work for PB!

Lauren!!!! i love you! You have the best taste! Just like me...Jk....HAHAH..We really do have the same taste though...the onlly problem is is that John has a taste of his own....so we have to mix our styles! Which kind of sucks...but hey that's life. Anyway, the santa glitter picture rocks!! I love love love it and I love Crate and barrel! Your tree, decorations etc rock! I like to see the snow and go sledding etc...but to drive in it scares me to death. maybe if I had an SUV? HAHAH...hopefully it will snow for Christmas this year while we're in UTAH! btw...I saw new moon online,,,,bad i know..anyway, it was just alright for me! I liked Twilight better actually. It was rushed and super cheesy! oh well. maybe the next one will be better! love you!

Your Santa picture is amazing! Seriously! You are a true artist.

I would post pics of our decortions, but they're pretty cheesy. I love having them because it makes me get in the Christmas spirit, but I don't know if I could post them! I love yours!

Cute Christmas stuff! I love how changing the decor in your house can totally change the whole feel of it. Oh and about the whole snow-hating thing, I'm coming closer to your side of the argument now that Lance and I both work from home and don't have to drive in it day in and day out. Nothing's more gorgeous than looking out the window at the snow falling, covering everything in it's path. It's so peaceful. Well, as long as I'm inside with a blanket and some hot chocolate.

You make me laugh. I have to agree with Liz. I don't....hate....the snow. I think it is very pretty. As long as I am inside, wrapped in a warm blanket, drinking hot chocolate. I don't want to be out in the snow. Or driving in the snow. Or have snow tracked through my house. That's all. Anyway, I love the Santa. And I copied you, of course. You will have to see it. Anyway, lets do lunch. And when I say 'do lunch', i mean come over to your house and have you make us yummy food. Ha ha. Love you!
