Oh sugar, sugar.

Today was fantastic. Period.

[ Quick side note as to why I am still up, despite the fact I post most often in the wee hours:
I am so very tired, but sleeping in a house without Mr M kinda sucks. Well it really sucks to be exact.
I get myself worked up over every little sound, my imagination wanders to thoughts of little ninjas and cat buglers breaking in and stealing all sorts of things- including; cookies, our TV, the couch, my breath. Yes, I said "my breath", a very real fear i assure you.
It's all very ridiculous, but it happens all the time while he is working away on hydro all night. ]


But on a lighter note, and back to the fantastic day I had.
I am soooooo looking forward to Christmas this year, & it is only a week away!
I never thought time would fly by so quickly, and yet again it has.
Today I was able to sleep in to ungodly hours thanks to my lovely Mr M being so quiet for me. I also spent some wonderful time this afternoon with my bil Mike, helping him round out his ever so thoughtful gifts he is going to be giving my sister this year. I must say, well done Mike.. well done indeed!
This also gave us a chance to talk about the dinner plans for the family- Kelly and I will be cooking all but the pies, our parents plan on bringing a pumpkin cheesecake (yummmm!).
The boys will be playing Left for Dead 2 or CoD while we slave away on a uber delish dinner. Follow with our gift exchange and call it a night, with our plans already set for New Year the following week. Utterly Perfect.

O, & did I mention I love those parts of the holiday? I really do enjoy cooking all day just to have a few hours of loved ones devouring tasty treats, opening gifts in two minutes that had taken twenty to wrap, seeing our family enjoy each others company. That's what the season is about, at least for me it is. Again, Perfect.

This week we will also be making our Christmas cookies and candies to give out (and eat, of course), as well as finish up any last minute shopping we may have. And this year we decided to make a gingerbread house to boot!!! The two year old me is very excited.

Other than that- Mr M got me Twilight on Bul-Ray for our latest anniversary ( that being yesterday), & much to his dismay, he will have to watch it with me at least once. Though he is now back at work for the holiday schedule, I'm looking forward to getting some time with him this week to just relax and watch movies.
We already have a long list of holiday movie we have to watch together, making new traditions with Mr M has to be hands down best time of my life. I look forward to the day we get to have our own family traditions that will make the season amazing for our kids.

Tis' the season, so be freaking jolly kids!!
