My Favorite Things

I've been tagged thanks to Karla. So here it goes...a few of my favorite things (in no particular order)...

1. William Sonoma Mulling Spiced Cider! Mmmmm... Delicious! Funny thing is, I used to hate cider until a few Christmas' ago. My mother in law made the best cider ever. Of course I tried it out of the goodness of my heart to not hurt her feelings, and it changed my life forever. I now have my own tin of spice and cute little ball infuser to make my own deliciousness at home.

2. Christmas Time. I don't just like Christmas time, I LOVE IT! There is nothing better than driving through the neighborhood and seeing the houses all decorated and lit up with lights. There is just a different feeling everywhere you go. Going to the stores with all the Christmas Decor out warms me to the core. The earlier the stores break out the Christmas merchandise the better! And it brings a smile to my face when I hear those cheerful tunes over and over again on the radio. Which brings me to number 3.

3. 99.9 Christmas music all day long! And yes the day they start playing is the day I start listening. It makes me less stressed when I drive and I like to think Lucas enjoys me singing along as we run our errands. It would be a shame to only listen to it in the car, so yes, I have it playing in my house in the background all day long! Call me crazy, I might be.

4. My little boys. Oh wait, I guess Seth really isn't so little anymore. Lucas and I await his arrival around 5:30 every weekday. It is amazing how much you can love someone. This coming January marks us being together for 10yrs. It is hard to believe we have come so far. Who would have thought a jr high romance would have grown into something so great. Speaking of great reminds me of how grateful I am for my angel of a baby. Lucas is such a blessing in my life. He keeps me laughing all day and it is amazing how he just melts my heart when he wraps his little arms around my neck and buries is head into my shoulder. Oh how I love him!

5. Oh how I love hot dogs! A warm jumbo dog with all the right toppings. I don't really mind what's on it as long as the flavors blend well. Best combo... spicy mustard with sauerkraut (Nick introduced me to sauerkraut while in Utah for Mike and Karla's wedding).

6. Sunday dinners. We trade off every other Sunday between families so everyone gets a little piece of us. It is so fun to just relax and spend time with the families. Who doesn't like a day filled with eating great food, playing games and watching movies. I love spending time with family.

7. Disneyland. Need I say more, it is only the happiest place on earth! Where else can you get frozen lemonade, churros, bagel dog (a glorified hot dog I might add), great hot chocolate in a souvenir mug, and ride Pirates of the Caribbean all in the same place? It's like Heaven on earth...besides the Temple.

8. I guess I'll wrap it with something spiritual. I love going to the Temple. I enjoy walking the grounds, looking at Christmas lights, going to the Visitors Center, doing a session, or going to a sealing. The feeling while inside the Temple cannot be replaced. And may I add they even have a cafeteria! Delicious. We always try to hit it up on the way out after a session.

To all of you who had the opportunity to read my former #9. You were mislead. I'm sorry. Seth thought it would be funny to add his favorite things to my list. If you are curious about his favorite you can see the posted comments. Sorry to all readers!

These are a few of my favorite things!
