Countdown 21

Tonight we made scent bags for one friends. I had a parent give me one of these my first year of teaching and it was very nice to pop it on the stove and make the house smell like Christmas! I used lemons, oranges, cranberries, cinnamon sticks and ground cloves. You just let all of that simmer in water on the stovetop!

Countdown 22

New Christmas book!

Bananas, sippies and shopping carts

I decided to start Ryan on finger foods. I started with tiny bits of bananas and he loves it! He also is liking his sippy cup. We need to remember it more!

I'm not sure why but it has been many months since we have taken both kids to a store with us. Oh yeah, it's because its a nightmare. Well, I was off with both kids in Friday and wanted to get out. Both kids were angels! Ryan loved Walmart and looked around the whole time. It was his first time in the dart and not his carseat. Good to know we can venture back into retail again!

Thanks again Pinterest for a cute idea! We made snowman pizza! It gets a little messy when the 4 year old does it with you!

Countdown: 24

Every year our church has an ornament making session prior to our "hanging of the green" service. We had a potluck and made ornaments. No pictures of this as Courtney was having a rough night that cut it short. That's life. We did make sugar cookies spontaneously that morning so that picture will be all for today!
