Epiphany

So, we all blasted the Shrek soundtrack and 'un-decorated' the tree today. I know it's not Epiphany yet, but the tree was really starting to look a little sad. I didn't realize how bad it looked until I saw it with all the ornaments, popcorn & cranberries, and lights off of it. Poor little tree...

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas. Thank our Good God for health and for our little family. May God bless you and yours always!

Gingerbread Houses

I "made" gingerbread houses this year out of graham crackers. Cheating, I know, but why waste all that good gingerbread? The children just eat the candy and throw the rest away. I asked them to save some Halloween candy for the houses this year, so I only had to buy two $1 bags of gummy bears. Saved me a bundle! *LOL*

Teddies and stuff...

I made some things to donate this year, because I don't have enough to do and needed to stress myself out just a little more...heck, what's Christmas without a little stress? *LOL*

"Stained Glass"

JP and the three younger children have been busy preparing for Christmas with this project, made with black construction paper, colored tissue paper, and laminate. We are all pleased with the results...
