Getting Closer

It's getting closer to that special time of the year. Can you feel it? I am getting more done each day, which makes me very happy, my wish each year is to be completely done by xmas eve. I still have to find a way to bake my cookies around Logan and his nap time (don't want to run the mixer and take a chance on waking up the monster). Olivia is certainly excited and gets more excited every day. One more day of school (Friday) and she's done till next year and I feel I have done my job for the year! We get to sleep in and not have somewhere to go for lots of days! I did FINALLY get my xmas cards, so now I have to get them put together and mailed out.


We made these ornaments off a recipe I heard on tv. They are applesauce/cinnamon ornaments and they certainly make your house smell good! Who would have thought those two ingredients would mix together and make a mold! It's easy and not messy: equal parts of applesauce and cinnamon and 3Tblsp. of school glue for every 3Cups. Make your string hole with a straw. You can put them in the oven at 150 for 20min. and flip them if you want them to dry faster.

We did do our gingerbread house and it turned out really nice this year. We are getting better at it and I can't wait until next year when we have Logan's fingers helping us too!
