Excited about winter..must be mad

When people are asked about their favourite season most would say without doubt summer. I like summer don't get me wrong infact if I'm honest I enjoy summer a lot more than I used to. Perhaps I'm more happy with myself than I used to be..for instance this summer I even wore a dress and more than once and not even to go out in..I mean during the day lol.
Yep, most people will answer summer but for me it has to be winter and no more so than this year. What makes this year so special..lots.

1. My gorgoeus hubby and me celebrate our first wedding anniversary.
2. It will be the first winter in our new home
3. Christmas!! I love xmas always have and always will
4. Our baby will be here Dec/ Jan depending on how early or late she decides to be.

Team all the special moments above with the fact that the cold weather brings the season of cosy jumpers, boots, hats and scarfs and winter just seems so magical. Snuggly nights in front of the open fire with hot drinks while the snow comes down outside is a perfect image I have inside my head for this winter.
This perfect image may be reprimanded with the reality of me panicking about hubby making his way home in the 'perfect winter weathers' and him worrying about me incase I should slip and hurt myself or babylea.
Despite all the dangers and worries winter can bring there really is something magical about it. The fact that jumpers come out and you don't have to look at skimpy outfits anymore..or perhaps that's just because it means I won't look as huge once everyone else is wearing jumpers :)

The fact that this magical season is already starting and you can see it all around...from the changing and cropping of leaves to the pine cones in the woods. The sounds at night of the odd firework going off to the mornings where you can see spider webs glistening with frost. I've already started making arrangements with Katie to make up toffee apples and plan on getting sparklers....you just never too old for sparklers I think lol.
In fact the spiders web Katie saw on Saturday morning fascinated her so much she was stood looking at it for 10 minutes without budging.

With this season upon us just means to me that this year really has flown by and before we know it the most magical moment of all will be upon us and that will be the arrival of babylea.
