The most WONDERFUL time of year!

Okay, I know I'm posting all this after Christmas, but one of my friends asked a while back to see Christmas decor. So I took a few pictures of what I did this year. I don't consider myself great at decorating, but I enjoy it! So, I just wanted to post a few pictures of our Christmas decor. I always love this time of year!!




My Boys


Okay Okay...I know it's been an entire month since I've really blogged about anything going on. I know there's really no excuse. Christmas, the busy time of year, with all the extra stuff to do...it doesn't cut it, I know. So, I'm jumping back into it full force! I'm trying to catch up on all the things that've been going on over this crazy month!




I was just scrolling through my pictures in my camera and came across a few pictures we took this past month after a family home evening. These pictures of my boys are just so fun. I love it when Justin wrestles with them. They love being with their Daddy and it's just so fun for me to watch them interact with him. So many times I'm told that "they grow up so fast" so this was just one of those moments when I look at these pictures and want to 'freeze frame' my kids forever. I love them being little and I love the little things they do.

My latest craft!

I made these journals/notebooks for all the girls in my family and they were so fun to do! Some I called "journals" so they could actually write down their thoughts, or even keep notes from General Conference, etc. Others I just gave as notebooks for the cute things kids say or do.










What is my secret weapon to make these fun projects: ModPodge! I SOOOO love the stuff. I am addicted. I'm doing letters to go above Gunner's bed and what am I using???? ModPodge of course! If you've never used it before, it is this super strong glue for paper crafts and it creates a beautiful shine to go over the top of a project too. So much fun! I'll have to post Gunner's letters when I'm done with them.

Gunner's Playschool Program

This is Gunner at his Playschool Christmas program. He sang lots of songs and played with his friends. He absolutely loves his teacher, Mrs. Kristen. She does such a fabulous job teaching them to share and play with each other. Gunner has such a great time and loves going to his "class."

Family Night

Need a fun FHE idea? This week we had a fun little family night. We did a lesson with the boys about the Savior's birth. We read them Luke 2 and I have a little Nativity set that we let them play with. We mostly tried to point out where the baby Jesus was and reminded the boys that He is our Savior. I don't know how much really sank in, but we'll be talking about this all month so here's hoping!

Anyhow, our fun little activity at the end was to decorate Daddy as a human Christmas tree! We wrapped Justin up and the boys just loved seeing things stick to him! All these decorations are really old so a lot didn't hold up too well, but you get the idea. I, personally, love the bow on top of Justin's head. He was a good sport to do this and let me take pictures of him!
