This is such a fun season, as I know you all agree! This year it was my assignment, as being a part of the primary presidency in my ward, to get the children Christmas ornaments. I had these great ideas that were oh so fancy! But then I really thought about these kids. How simple and wonderful their testimonies are, so I came up with this "building block" idea. And I LOVE the theme this year! I Know, not I think or feel or believe or hope, but I Know My Savior Loves Me. I wish every kid on this planet would know this. This gospel concept is one of the first "building blocks" to a solid testimony! I asked Mike to cut some blocks for me. So after a little mod podge, stain, scrapbook paper, sanding, vinyl and drilling I was done making these! I hope the primary kiddos will like them!:)



Oh I am so not happy with our Christmas card this year! But our "photo" session just kept on getting pushed to the back burner and so this is the best I could do at such short notice! Blah! Lame....anyway on to happier things! This is a pretty decent picture of us using our tripod {again, I know, lame!} and the kiddos are darling with all their surprised expressions! Haha! We tried to do more things homemade this year and we've really had such a good time doing it...hey, I guess our lame Christmas card is semi homemade! Haha!



Just some treats we want to pass out to neighbors, primary teachers & school teachers! I made up some homemade hot chocolate {& added marshmallows!}, cinnamon honey butter, a candle and a cake in a jar. So fun! Mike & I both have some other homemade gifts but I'll have to wait to post these until after Christmas as they are gifts for some of my sisters and we don't want to spoil the surprise! Oh & Mike's project is AMAZING!


My family's traditional yummy, amazing sweetbread! But I didn't get a picture of it before I wrapped it up! Darn! But here's one all pretty and ready to be delivered!


I swear my kids have been sick ever since Thanksgiving! We've had numerous sleepless nights! And Aubrey had a rough night and is not so sure she can go to school today...so sad that she'll miss her caroling! Tessa thought she needed to lay by her to keep her company.:)
