December..

Today was a wonderful day. December is finally here! The weather was cool and crisp and the excitement of the holiday season was all around. Last night we put up one of our Christmas trees and I couldn't help but smile ear to ear knowing this is my first Christmas with Mr. Amazing Grace! We decided on a rustic tree with western themed ornaments and next we are working on a tree with more sentimental ornaments. This is such a fun time of year!

These are a few pictures that always make me smile. Our dog, Max, is a mini daschund, and we love him dearly. He loves to roam with the cows and chase our chickens! And the picture of my laundry drying on the bluff just makes me feel so peaceful and calm. There is nothing like freshly hung and dried laundry! It is so fresh and soft.  The picture of the pie is so special to me because it was my first attempt at baking a homemade pie. I love taking a passed down recipe and incorporating it into my cooking.  The pie was strawberry and it was delicious! 

I hope your day was wonderful and I can't wait to share our Christmas decorating photos with you tomorrow night!
