A few Christmas-time photos!

Baking Gingerbread cookies!
Aren’t their aprons so cute? I found them at Kohls on sale for $11.99 each, plus I had a 30% off coupon too! Great deal, huh? (They are reversible, too–with a cute cupcake pattern on the other side).
My girls absolutely love to bake!

Baking!

My sweet girls in front of the Christmas tree! They were being so silly. :)

My Girls - Dec 2011

More photos to come soon! :)

Decorating the Tree

The girls love decorating the tree, and it is so much fun to do this with them. We always do this all together as a family!
Here are a few photos that I wanted to share….(although a little later than I wanted to) ;)

Gingerbread Fun!

We make Gingerbread houses every year! The girls (and Jace & I) love to do this! I actually have a template & recipe to create my own, but I figured making 2, and chilling time (of the dough) etc….it would be a slightly longer process. So I figured I would just buy them–especially since I wanted 2 kits, and they were on sale. :)
We still plan on making our homemade one, though! ;)

Here are a few pics of the fun we had!

This has become one of our traditions that the girls really look forward to!

Ornament Christmas Tree

This is a super fun craft to do! Make a little Christmas tree out of ornaments!

I first saw this done by Dominique at Dollar Designs. She makes everything look so easy…LOL!
I added a few little fuzzy balls around my tree, too….just to add that something extra. I didn’t put anything on top, but that may change! :)
She has some videos on her site of other craft ideas as well. Be sure to check them out,too. Have fun!

Ornament Wreath

Ornament Wreath I made....

Isn’t this the neatest thing!? I’ve seen these before and thought that they looked so elegant. This year I wanted to try it myself, so I did! This one is mine! I just love traditional Christmas colors, and I love how it turned out. It was really easy, too! I know that there are a couple of different ways to do these. I used the “hanger method”. Thank you Pinterest for giving me great ideas…LOL! Here’s the link to the directions if you’d like to make one for yourself.
