Had Ourselves a Merry Little Christmas

I am happy to say this was the last year that Nic and I spent Christmas apart.


For some reason I didn't truly feel the spirit of the season without him with me but I am grateful for the time that I had to spend at home.


Nic drove me home to spend the holidays with my family because I'll admit... after the Thanksgiving experience.. I was terrified to drive the roads alone. Joy to the World we got lucky and had a safe trips without snow both ways! When Nic left Sunday night I was pretty sad and was in need of a little cheering up so my amazing mom did what mom's do best!


We began our holiday baking and made these delicious Reece's peanut butter cup cookies! A first this year but were a TOTAL hit and will now become a holiday tradition of mine.

It had started snowing early in the afternoon but we underestimated exactly how much... We soon discovered it was enough to make a snowman! Now if chocolaty goodness is not enough to cheer a person up building the first snowman of the season is sure to do the trick!

My mom (being the anal person she is) had to immediately shovel the drive way before doing anything further ha wish I could have gotten a picture.

Then we made this muscular creation haha a.k.a. Frosty the Hulk Hogan Snowman!
