Handmade gift for kids

Home made crayons using a silicone cookie sheet

Individual name tags

to hang your art!

Now I can't wait to make some for our girls!

Merry Merry Christmas in pictures

Finally finished the tree

Lilly and I made hand made ornaments

Tried to get crafty with things around the house

The BIG gift from Santa

How did Santa know we like organization ;)



Oz

Lilly's new dress up clothes

and you little dog too!



What to do...

When your 3 year old is on the potty doing her business

and your goofy 1 year old is waiting for her bath

and watching her sister (yes apparently when we pee it is a family ordeal)

and suddenly she starts to pee on the rug!?!

Give an impromptu lesson on sharing....and grab your camera!!!

Ohhh they are so going to hate me for this someday :).

Easy peasy

My new favorite sewing project

A friend emailed me this easy pattern

It took an hour to complete and I just love it!

Can't wait to make some more...



Topping it Off

As promised some pictures of our new tree

I love the new topper we got for it too - Lilly and Scott picked it up for me

I think it's supposed to go outside (the topper) but it looks pretty darn good up there I think

Happy Tuesday :)!

Deck the Halls

Did some Christmas decorating this weekend

after we could move again after all the turkey we ate

Check out our *new* tree

I just love it

It's tall, it's wide, it just makes the whole house feel like Christmas

Sorry - thought I had a better pic of the tree...but cute picture of Nolee!

Our two little elves really enjoyed helping decorate the tree this year

Of course one elf enjoyed taking the decorations off more than putting them on... 

And here is Nolee's impersonation of a marshmallow :)

It's probably crazy but I'm so looking forward to our first big snow

snowmen, snow angels, snow forts

hot chocolate, getting cozy with my family by our awesome *new* tree

**One of Scott's co-worker's gave us that tree last year

(which I promise to take better pictures of)

which was so nice and thoughtful of her...espcially if you had seen our tree last year
