Christmas Eve

This year we had a visitor on Christmas Eve. Santa Claus himself showed up and the kids weren't real sure what to think. They were excited and confused all at the same time! Then after he visited we opened up our pajamas and a Christmas book. I think it was about 10:30 when we finally got them to sleep!

Gingerbread Houses

So like many of you, we made gingerbread houses. But unlike many of you, WE MADE REAL GINGERBREAD!!! Ahhhh! I tried to convince Wes to let me buy one of those handy kids, oh no it had to be real lol! It took us all week to create these masterpieces. It was kind of fun because it gave the kids something to look forward to each night. I think Wes just started a new tradition...good thing he is the one with the patience!

Halloween/Thanksgiving 2009

Here is a quick run down of Halloween and Thanksgiving for this year:
Our kids were Crayons with Katie's two youngest, Zac was Harry Potter. We had a lot of compliments on the crayons, they were a big hit! We took them to the Halloween carnival at Wilson Elementary and the next night they went with Grandpa Tom to his school carnival. They had a good time trick-or-treating. I actually had to drag them to houses trying to get them more stuff and they were complaining!! Riley actually sat down a few times and told me he was done lol!
For Thanksgiving we went to my parents house. LOVE Thanksgiving dinner!! My neice Jenny painted my toenails and fingernails for me, she is quite the little manicurist =). We just had a great time visiting and hanging out. We missed Scott's family this year, he had knee surgery a couple days before and wasn't feeling up to moving. And can you believe I did NOT have one single piece of pumpkin pie (my absolute favorite), my choice this year was warm cherry pie a la mode! YUM!

More Jewelry

I found the pictures of my latest jewelry. I am adding a new line that I am very excited about, "Primal Touches". It will have rustic looking metal touches with some glitz. The Christmas Tree Necklace is a perfect example of what I mean. Let me know what you all think. THANKS!!
