Crochet Crazy

I am loving my new hobby. I am crocheting and knitting all these fun things and these are just two things I have made and I was way excited how they turned out.

The baby shoes are for 0-3 month old  and the Owl hat is Jeffery's Size. I am giving the baby shoes and hat for a shower gift. I hope they are liked.

Gingerbread Houses and Santa Pizza

The kids were invited to a gingerbread house party and they were so excited. They has so much fun decorating with candy and frosting.....YUM....



They Look awesome!
 The kids wanted to make there own pizzas and Jeffery wanted to make his look like santa and he did pretty good.  

Christmas Ornament making

We love to make ornaments with dough and paint them. This year we made some really fun ones. Jeffery made Mary and baby Jesus and Miley made some strawberries and then wanted some help so I helped her make a few things too.








 Jeff took a nap and got some good sleep.....


O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree....

We found a new spot to cut  Christmas trees and it was an adventure. We didn't know how far exactly it was from the main road so when we started slipping on the road we decided to park and walk....well lets just say is was a nice day for a walk with the ice cold wind and snow.  We walked about 1 and 1/2 miles to 2 miles until we reached where we were suppose to start looking for a tree. The kids had tons of fun on the road, sliding and sliding and sliding. We finally reached the spot and we were ready to be done so luckily we were able to go off the road a bit and find a tree close by.











  Here is what we found and we had so much fun finding them. The BEST tradition ever!!!

This is what our tree looks like all dressed up......

LOVE IT!

Thanksgiving fun....

So I have been so busy I have not had time to update and today I am still in my candy cane pjs and I am updated my blog because I will be able to check it off the list and then I can continue on with my check list....
So I love fall because of the colors of the leaves and making a huge pile and jumping in them was one of my favorite things growing up. My kids love to do it to and I love looking at the photos I caught because they make my heart melt and make me smile.



Can you see them? Jeffery and Miley are hiding in the leaves, I THINK?
They have so much fun together  playing and making things. 

Here are some of the things we made for thanksgiving time.....
Frozen Hot chocolate and it was amazing by the way.


 Turkey Sugar Cookies.....




 Turkeys to put by the place setting for Turkey Dinner.

This one Miley wanted to give hair....there was a lot of licking the fingers on this one.
We have made some fun things the last couple of weeks and we had a lot of fun as you can see.
