oh the weather outside is frightful..

ha yeah right! it's the first of december and it's 75 degrees outside! however, the christmas music that was playing at the grocery store today got me in the mood to make a winter favorite meal..chicken and rice soup and a bottle of martinelli's apple cider mmmmm:)
if you checked out the picture of our christmas tree in the last post, you may have noticed that i've have already begun wrapping gifts; i feel so ahead of the game right now, i typically procrastinate with things like that. now, my new love for 'pinterest' has me disputing over wrapping decor..naturally. here are some of the really cute ideas: now i need to get my hands on the new michael buble and old mariah carey christmas albums so i can blast them while i'm cooking/baking, crafting, and cleaning..maybe Matt will sing along
