December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

I love setting up and decorating our xmas tree. Its 12 feet tall and all the kids xmas decorations that they've made through the years go up on the tree. They are always so proud to see them hanging there.

I am looking forward to spending our first Christmas with our baby boy!

My husband and I are newlyweds....we get to send out our first Christmas card! :-)

my favorite part of christmas is going to carols in the park.

I look forward to spending time with family and friends, whether it be decorating the tree, baking cookies, participating in Christmas activities, eating Christmas dinner, or just spending time together talking.

I look forward to just about everything when it comes to Christmas its a magical time. Love to make ginger snap cookies and hot chocolate.
But I would say I love Christmas Eve the most thats when my family gets together I love them all but I really love being with my Nephew and Nieces they are just really awesome people! Hope everyone has a great Holiday.

I look forward to curling up under blankets with my family and watching corny made for tv Christmas movies.

i am so going to enjoy my grandson's first christmas this year. He will be 8 months old! i'm going to love recording every minute of it.

Baking with my daughters!

I am most looking forward to spending time with my family. It will be my baby's first Christmas and probably the last Christmas to spend with my sister and her family before they move overseas.

For me, its a time of renewal... being able to refocus on the year behind and ahead and focusing on renewing my good intentions.. hopefully setting the example for my children.

Spending time with family!!!

This year I'm most looking forward to seeing our apartment all lit up with the gentle glow of our Christmas tree because this may be our last Christmas in our first home together... So many memories past and present to absorb in that warm, peaceful light.

I am most looking forward to spending time with my family. It will be my baby's first Christmas and probably the last Christmas to spend with my sister and her family before they move overseas.

I am most looking forward to the staying home and slowing down that comes with winter. I love reading our growing collection of Christmas stories each night with my girls and I love my Christmas music collection and being together with all of the people that I love!

I'm looking forward to flying to Ohio to visit my in-laws and meeting my new niece Sophia, decorating the house, working on an Advent project (similar to your 1-25 daily boxes), lots of holiday baking, and making keychain-size 2009 calendar mini albums for stocking stuffers! I also want to start recording my family's Christmas traditions and brainstorm new traditions for my family, now that my daughter is 2 years old and is starting to enjoy the holidays.

I am looking forward to pulling out my decorations...so excited to put out the news one too!

Decorating the tree....

Congrats on the blog!
I always go to the Mall of America with my husband and kids the day after Thanksgiving--my husband and I met there and the visit brings back fond memories.
Pick me!

I will be taking the remainder of my maternty leave over the holidays to spend with my 3 yr old and my 5 month old. I love to see the light in their eyes over Christmas and snow, pure magic.
