Hand Made Gift Tags

I made holiday gift tags at my last stamping club meeting. We made 2 of each kind so we went home with a bag full of tags. They are so pretty that I want to keep them for myself, however, that would defeat the purpose of making them in the first place. I have used a few on some gifts and they look so pretty!The green tree is embossed - something new for me!

Preschool teacher's gifts

I LOVE beer bread and it seems that most people share in my love of the delicious loaf of carbs. I saw a cool beer bread mix in Wal-Mart months ago in their Christmas candy section and thought it would be a good idea to give to Jared's teachers for Christmas. I also purchased loaf pans from Christmas Tree Shopps to go along with it. Here is the final product. I put them in gift bags becasue I didn't think it would be appropriate to have a beer bottle in plain sight in a preschool.

Just a typical Tuesday night.

This is what happens every night when Drew gets home from work. The boys LOVE to "rough" with their Daddy.

Josh saw me with the camera so he gave me his cheese face once again.

CHEESE!

When I took out my camera to take pictures of my latest projects, Josh immediately starting saying, "cheese" and making his cheese face. Here he is. Bed head hair and all! He was in he middle of eating a cracker as well.

Post-It Note Holders

I have joined a stamping club that meets once a month. We learn to make cards, tags and other fun projects. The last meeting I went to we made a post-it note cover. They were so cute I decided to make more and I will giving them as Christmas gifts.

Snow Much Fun!!!

Josh LOVED the snow!!! He even went sledding with Jared. We have our driveway plowed so there is always a little hill at the end of it. Josh has a really bad cold right now so his stay outside was short. He screamed because he had to come inside.

Jared and Drew went out in the snow later on in the day and went "sledding" again. Jared said it was the best day ever! Oh to be a kid again!

Very well padded from behind!

Holiday Magic

Santa Questions

Jared has been asking a lot of questions about Santa this year. The other day he asked , "If the stores run out of toys, does Santa's elves take more toys to the store?" When he was getting in the bath tub last night he asked, "Does Santa go everywhere on Christmas Eve? He goes to New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Boston and Massachuestts?" If only Jared knew there was so much more area to cover than just a few states on the east coeast :)

The Saturday after Thanksgiving

was spent with Drew's parents, grandparents, and great aunt and uncle. We haven't seen Uncle Chips and Aunt Mary in awhile so it was nice to spend time with them. We ate a declicious meal ( that goes without saying) and enjoyed some live entertainment thanks to Jared and Josh.

Singing motown songs that he has no idea as to what the words are!

Uncle Chips always joins in on the fun. He sure is young at heart!

Dancing the night away.

All of that dancing deserves a little whipped cream don't you think???

Forget about putting it on the finger. Just spray it in my mouth.

Just give me the canister so I can do it myself.

Also while we were in NJ

we took the Patco train to Philadelphia to see the light show at Macy's and the train display at Reading Market. Santa joined us on the train as well as Christmas carolers. Sumana, Craig and the kids also accompanied us as well as Mom Mom Kathy, Uncle Mikey and Megan.

Waiting to get on the train.

Cameron loved his red balloon until it popped.

Train display.

While we were waiting to get on the train Jared helped fix a broken escalator. Seriously.
