Enjoying the Simple Things

I love these snowflake candle holders that my aunt and cousin bought for Nate and me this Christmas. Would it be ok to keep them out all year? ;) They're so cute. We just recently took down our Christmas tree and decorations. I think it was partly because we were so busy and also because I just like to keep those things up for as long as possible.

Our candle holders are so nice to look at, and I also love having candlelight filling a room. I was just thinking a few days ago how I grew up around campfires... at the lake or in the woods with friends. I miss just hanging out by the fire and relaxing with good friends and sharing fun times together. Things seemed so easy when you could just spend all night next to the fire with good friends. I hope maybe Nate and I can make a trip back to Michigan this summer and enjoy some time by the fire! How I miss that.... but for now I guess I'll just enjoy the candlelight from our snowflake candle holders! Sometimes you have to enjoy the simple things.
