Snowmen

There's nothing more winter-y than a snowman. They happen to be my mom's favorite, so this time of year we have lots of snowman decorations around.


I really don't know why this guy is wearing a sweater and hat. He's going to melt really fast... ;-)



A cute little snowman family!



I'm linking up to Kellie's Yuletide Farmgirl Festival at A Maiden's Musings. I'm sure she'd love it if you did too!

"Hark the Herald Angels Sing..."

"...Glory to the newborn king!

Peace on earth and mercy mild,

God and sinners reconciled"

Joyful, all ye nations rise

Join the triumph of the skies,

With the angelic host proclaim:

"Christ is born in Bethlehem"

Hark! The herald angels sing,

"Glory to the newborn King!"

Christmas Link Up - Christmas Foods and Tasty Treats

Wow! It's hard to believe it's only two weeks till Christmas and that 2010 is almost over. Well, today begins week three of my Very Merry Christmas Link Up. This week you get to link up anything that you eat this time of year. 

Time for week three:


Week 3 - Christmas Foods & Tasty Treats
There are so many tasty things made this time of year: cookies, gingerbread houses, candy canes, and my personal favorite, eggnog. Mmmm, my mouth is watering! If you bake something yourself, you could share the recipe as well!
Anything that is edible will work for this weeks theme. And remember, composition is an important key to getting a great food shot.

Last night I made some sugar cookies using The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies recipe I found through Casey at Elegant Musings. They turned out delicious and I had fun decorating them as well.

Joining is easy. Just put together a post with a photo(s) that fit with this weeks theme, Christmas Lights, add my Christmas Link Up button, and come back here and add your post to the linky. Remember to post a link to the post, not your main blog address. Also, go ahead and check out all the other posts that are linked up. That's what makes this fun!

Christmas Lights Favorites

There are 34 entries this weeks Very Merry Christmas theme, Christmas lights. There were many bokeh shots, which are pretty awesome. Then there were some where there was another subject, that wasn't the lights, although they were in the background. I loved those as well. 


Out of all the beautiful photos that have linked up, I've got five favorites I'd like to share. I really had trouble picking just six, because I loved all of them.

Ellie at Unedited Photography

Ellie's photo is so beautiful, with the lovely morning light and the frost on the light.

Jaymi at Live, Love, TRAVEL

I love the simple look of this picture and the greens that are in it.

Alison at Prairie Girl

Alison had two pictures, but this one is my favorite. I love the how you can see her sister (I'm guessing she's your sister?), like she id decorating the tree.

Dacia at Creative Mommas
I loved Dacia's tree, with the beautiful golds and reds, along with the white twinkling lights

Amy at ...a good life, photos

Amy linked up with a handful of adorable pictures of her friends daughter, Kaylee. This is my favorite:

Get your photos ready! Tomorrow I'll be posting the linky for week 3, Christmas Foods and Tasty Treats!

Aspire Photo Challenge: Christmas

Hannah over at Aspire is hosting a photography challenge, the theme being Christmas. Since everyone seemed to love my snow globe photo, I decided on that one. I'm quite pleased with it as well.
