Merry Christmas


We started out matching (courtesy of my mum's Christmas eve pajama pants) but Micah's didn't last long enough for a group shot : (
Here he is on his own... there were pictures of him smiling but this one was my favorite! I am loving the thumbs down and waving of the other hand.
He was cheesing it in almost every picture from Christmas morning
And here is his Great Grandma reading to him...

But apparently Brinkley is a better listener!

There are more fun shots but I will leave some for other people to blog (so they better blog them!)

Christmas Garland

It's been on my to do list to finish my Christmas garland ... and after a few weeks I can finally say it's complete!
Ridiculous right? I have no idea why I did this... it's just been in my head for a while... goodness knows I don't really have the time!
It took 4.5 yards of 3 different green colors and 1 yard of 2 different brown colors of yummy mixed wool felt, plus 2 yards of velvet ribbon to make this (roughly) 9ft long garland.... oh and brown grosgrain not sure how much of that but a 12 yard spool still has plenty left on it!
I know I made a bunch of the pine cones last year but I couldn't for the life of me get them to come out the same way... I wish I could remember I looked for a tutorial too but no one seems to be saying how they make them! They are fun to make but I was getting frustrated because I couldn't get any of them to go together the same way! If I figure it out I will try and draw something out to at least give people the gist.
I think this is going to be my new thing to have a really fun garland for every holiday- I already have valentines day done ... now I just have to get started on all of the rest of them... hahaha

Happy New Year!

We had a very fun and laid back christmas. Lots of food.... we definately have our priorites straight! I think I gained 10 pounds... I went through the pictures we took and not only did we forget to take any group shots we forgot to take any out of the kitchen!
We did Surf and turf for Christmas eve....

Meet the Surf...
Yeah this picture may look familiar... what can I say I like to play with my food...

This is my Grammy making a SCRUMPTOUS cake!!! OHHHH MAN!

My Papa


murderer #1...AKA my Uncle

murder #2, we all know who this goober is!

my Aunt who is not so interested in playing with the food... but I made her touch it!!!

So for all of you who haven't seen Grammy's new kitchen all finished here are some shots! I hope she doesn't mind. First of all it turned out GREAT! She has fabulous taste!

The back splash... I love this tile I plan on having some of it my own house some day... it is SSSOOOO pretty!

That oven is sooo fun by the way! And as Papa and Uber found out it is fluent in French... now if they just knew french....

Here's the water closet that she did some redecorating in it is SO cute!

Well I hope you all had a fun New Years. We didn't do much of anything... yeah we are lame! Uber starts school this next week so I will hopefully be around here a little more!

Gifts and Baking

First a gift for me - Isn't this packaging great! It's from my Aunt and in it is a few of her favorite things

wash cloths they're yummy! I don't want to use them I just want to stare at them...

and my FAVORITE -- FELT BOWLS!! I had seen these on Etsy and now I have some! They're really cool. Now I just need some felted acorns... or rocks...

Have you noticed I am not great at the whole waiting to open things...
I have been baking like crazy

This stuff is SOOO delicious - Almond Butter Crunch


Sugar cookies

And this isn't even half of it! And don't knock my monkey pants. My mum made them for me.

I had a few trays to make up for people coming over, ubers work I also did up some fun little boxes for my work and of course sweets for us.
These are some bookmarks I made for one of the girls who is diabetic. She LOVES to read!

And boxes of goodness for everyone else

We are headed up to my Grandparents house in N.C. tomorrow for Christmas... 5 days without work!! I am SOOO excited!

Deck the Halls

I'm all decked out and ready for christmas... of course we wont be sticking around but it's fun just to have it decorated! The box under the tree was painted by my Grandma it's SO pretty!

A yummy 'woodland' garland with scrumptious copper snowflake lights

They make me happy. Almost like maybe it could be snowing outside. Though I do think copper snowflakes might hurt!

I finally got the order I was working on finished so it is time to start baking YEAH!!
More tomorrow!
