The holiday season is here and I have been SO ready! Since October, I have been ready to kick Christmas into gear. We've got the Christmas tree up, sent out the Christmas cards, and did some Black Friday shopping for the fam.
My take: Wal- Mart is worth it! Tony and I bought an early Christmas present for ourselves: a Wii for only $89! Amazing. And the lines were not that bad!
Thanksgiving was a restful delight. We enjoyed SMOKED turkey (YUM!), all the fixings, and more pie than I should ever have ate.
Tony and I are getting excited to take our 2 week Christmas vacation to Texas for some good family time. 3.. more... weekss.. we can make it.. I know we can!
I am so excited about this season to focus on Christ, our savior, in whom is our righteousness.
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

Made a caramel apple snickers salad. SO GOOD.
Ingredients: 8 oz cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, 12 oz Cool Whip, 6 snickers bars, 4-6 granny smith apples. Mix it all up and add caramel sauce. YUM. Don't make the night before or it gets runny. Chill for 1 hour before serving.
Bourbon Pecan Pie. YES. Recipe here: http://southernfood.about.com/od/kentuckyrecipes/r/bl00227c.htm
