Favorite Time of Year!

Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos


Anyone else already super excited for Halloween or is it just me? I don't even get annoyed that there's been Halloween stuff appearing in stores for weeks now and it's still 2 months away! I LOVE Halloween! This marks the beginning of my favorite time of year...Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years! Holidays galore and they're all super fun ones!

I love Halloween probably just as much as I love Christmas! (and I love Christmas a lot!) I love having an excuse to dess up in costume and not seem like a total freak! Hehe I love candy and parties and haunted houses and picking pumpkins and carving said pumpkins and house decorations and scary movies and Halloween music! The works! I love it all! Luckily I married an awesome guy who loves it too!

Last year we threw a Halloween party. We both dressed up as vampires, decorated the house, carved pumpkins and had a blast and I was so happy Phil was doing it all with me! He even suffered through a load of scary movies with me even though they're not his favorite.

This year I'm already planning our 2nd annual Halloween party and I can't wait! Phil and I need to decide on our costumes for this year. I have tons of ideas but not sure which I'll go with. Whatever we end up deciding, I'm just so excited for it all!

One of my favorite things is holiday cooking and crafts! This year Phil and I are trying to eat healthier which is putting a massive damper on my holiday cooking creativity....especially now I've discovered Pinterest! But that's a whole different blog entry! Lol) So I'm not sure how I'll reconcile that one. At least the party will give me an excuse to splurge a bit and make some fun stuff! As for Thanksgiving and Christmas....I'll have to negotiate with Phil a bit. I am on board that we need to eat healthier and lose weight....but I am of the opinion that Thanksgiving can simply NOT be a diet day! I'm already collecting Thanksgiving recipes and I intend to use them!!!! Hehe

For now....happy holiday season everyone! Hope you all enjoy it! I know I will!!!!

I love Halloween too. Wish I lived close so I could go to your steller party! One of my favorite memories was when we played the gate keeper than went on that scary drive by the prison and almost got stuck in the mud. You're so much fun to be around!

Haha thanks Stacie! I wish you were closer too! I miss you and Heidi and Aubrey and Ash so much! We always had so much fun :) And speaking of that creepy game, my husband totally owns it! Made me laugh so hard when I saw it on the shelf!

I was thinking the same thing as Stacie. "Let me speak to the young one...yes my gatekeeper..." Hehe! You should dress up as the girl on fire for Halloween! Now that would be a cool costume. I'm with you on splurging for holiday meals. Thanksgiving just isn't the same without buttery gravy and sausage stuffing. It's just one day. :) If you find any recipes that are to die for, send them my way. You know I love to try new things. Miss you!!!

Aubrey, I think Pinterest will be responsible for all holiday recipes this year! Hehe I'm already so obsessed with it!
