~Christmas Photos 2013~

Stan and I have enjoyed having the kids home for Christmas.
We've been so busy with them I haven't been able to blog as much.
I wanted to share with you some of our Christmas photos.

The kids each have their own small Christmas trees with all their handmade ornaments and 
things they've collected through the years when they were little.

Harry and Katie
Justin and Carly

For Christmas morning we made Mimosas and
a delicious brunch of french toast, bacon, sausage
 and scrambled eggs with ham.
It was a wonderful Christmas.
Maggie loved the kids home too.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year!!

~Merry Christmas Everyone and Simple & Sweet Fridays #95~

Wishing all my blogging friends
 ~A Very Merry Christmas~
The kids are home.
The table is set.
I loved making all the festive things for the table.
Made some mulled wine.
It always smells so good simmering in the kitchen.

Made a Rum Cake and
Chocolate Cake
Vanilla cupcakes with
Chocolate Stars.
My Christmas treasures everywhere.


A new silver birdhouse salt & pepper shaker 
from my friend, Virginia.
So cute!

Thank you for always sharing the most creative projects!

I hope you all have the best Christmas ever!!

~Believe~

I can't believe only 2 more days until Christmas.
I wanted to share with you what I've been working on.
~Stamped Place Tags~ 
Katie's boyfriend, Harry, is visiting from England.
I made him a stocking.
I hope he likes it.


I made another stocking for Carly's boyfriend, Justin.
He's a photographer, so I found an image 
of a camera and
 sewed it on his stocking.


The kids wanted me to make their favorite cookies.







Hope they like them!!
I made some gift tags.
Wrapped some cookies for some friends.
I made some ornaments.
Wrapped them up!
I made some Christmas Pumpkins.
Hope everyone is having fun this week,
getting ready for Santa to arrive!
