Our halls are decked...and we're waiting on Santa....

We are so thankful for friends all over the place sending us their Christmas cheer....

Eating cookies is very serious business!

I Think I'm Starting an Etsy Business.....

.....maybe.....I'm not real sure how I will go about doing it yet, but I am having fun creating all these home made gifts. I do feel like the more I do, the better they're getting!! Essentially, I am able to do the following things customized to someone's needs. This is a lot of work, not sure if I have time. We'll see....

Here are some of my creations:

BOWS:

SEWN OUTFITS: (can also do skirts and pillowcase dresses)

Santa PJ Party

Our sweet friends, Bill and Liz, threw a wonderful Santa PJ party tonight. Santa comes to visit some of the neighborhoods throughout Viera, and lots of friends gathered at their house to wait on him to show up on his big red firetruck. While we waited, the kids played some fun games, decorated cookies, and feasted on lots of yummy treats. Santa arrived and had a big bag full of gifts for each child (carefully planned ahead by Liz and Bill-so sweet). What a fun night! Enjoy!

Dressed in our PJ's and ready for the party!
