Merry Thomas Christmas

So far Ty's received a Thomas pillow pet, thomas pj's, a Thomas book,
and a Thomas remote control train with more track! Someone likes
Thomas!

Almost ready for Christmas!

Since we didn’t bring any decorations but our stockings a couple strands of lights, everything this year is homemade.  We bought a small pre-lit tree and I started working on our little Christmas corner.

Helping daddy put up the tree together.

Hum….I think there’s some things missing momma.

Decorating the patio with daddy.

Here’s all the finished projects.  We made popcorn garland, paper stars and other homemade ornaments from beads that Ty strung on pipe cleaners. 

Here’s the cranberry covered G monogram hung with brown burlap.

I made this advent calendar using my Silhouette digital paper cutter.  Each day has a little activity, candy and/or a scripture about Christmas.  This is Ty’s favorite part of the day – seeing what’s inside.

This is a close up of my burlap/lace tree skirt I just finished.  Isn’t it beautiful? Thank you Pinterest for the great idea!

Now I just have to make a table runner and figure out what to decorate the table with for Christmas dinner.  Are you ready for Christmas?

Christmas cards

Which Christmas card will you get in the mail? It could look like this! I love Shutterfly holiday cards and this year they've added so many new designs it was hard to pick the ones I wanted.

November Happenings

November just flew by.  We made a trip back to Missouri for Thanksgiving and loved visiting with all our family.  Tyler did great on both flights and almost slept the entire three hours back – his cousins really wore him out.  Now we are busy preparing for Christmas.  We just finished all the decorations so look for a post soon to check out my homemade advent calendar, star wreath and homemade tree decorations.
