December fun...

We have a fun December...we visited with Santa, saw LOTS of Christmas lights, listened to Christmas music, watched lots Christmas movies/shows, etc. It was a great month. I didn't get a lot of pictures taken, but here are a few of what I did take...

We set up the Christmas tree...

 Tried on some reindeer ears...

 

 All decorated!

 

Here are Nathan and Audrey all spiffied up for Church...

The kids got to go to a Christmas party at the Union Hall for Chris' work and got to see Santa and got their faces painted.

Spiderman...

 Little butterfly...

 Best I could get with both of them together with faces painted. Audrey only wanted to show me the side of her face.

 

Getting ready to open our Christmas Eve presents...

All ready for Santa in our new Christmas Jammies...

 

When we handed Audrey her stocking stuff Christmas morning, she just hugged it before even checking it out.

 We spent an hour opening presents. I took only a few pics, I got distracted by all the fun the kids were having.

 We were able to spend Christmas afternoon at Chris' Aunts house and had a great time visiting with family, then headed home and played with our new toys. :) 

Hope everyone had a great December and wonderful Christmas and were able to spend a lot of time with family and friends!

Things I wanna make...but not til next year!

So, I've been seeing some really cute things that I REALLY want to make, but seeing as how we are getting ever closer to Christmas and I have other things I am working on...I will not be making these things this year. I thought maybe some of you who do read this might be interested in seeing some seriously cute stuff that you too might want to make for Christmas next year. So here they are...

Really cute finger puppets, found here.

Or how about these cute reindeer gift tags/ornaments.

I also think these flower ornaments are pretty cute too. 

I'm gonna get me some power tools so I can make me some of these cute things.

I do need a cute wreath, or two, or three. Ok, it looks like there are four wreaths I've been looking at! Guess I'll make one for every room. I am SURE I have enough scraps to make the wallhanging!

A little something for the kitchen table, some reversible place mats. I like that these could be made for any holiday depending on what color you use! 

Since I'm taking you to places with stuff that I want to make, how about I show you something I did make! I decided the kids needed some cute T's and had a few ideas, but when I saw this I knew what I would do.

I LOVE being able to make things with stuff I have on hand. The T's have been kickin' around for a couple months and I had the felt on hand from other projects. 

For Audrey's I added a bow and a cute button that I had bought for 'something' who knows when.

 And to jazz up Nathan's, added a little bow and button around Rudolph's neck.

I LOVE how they turned out!

Of course I'll also need some new ideas to make the kids some cute holiday shirts.I think these might do. 

And how about some simple Christmas tree bows for a cute little girls hair.

Yep, cute stuff! Better get busy early next year. :)
