The most wonderful time of the year...

Hello and Merry Christmas to all!!!

I'm hoping that this is a time for all to celebrate not only the birth of our savior, but also family, friends, love, laughter and compassion.
We were able to celebrate with our extended family on Christmas Eve as my hubby had to work today.

I'm just stopping by my itty bitty corner of blogland to post a few pictures of our Christmas along with a few Christmas projects I've been working on.

Here's our tree (this is our first year without the little kid's tree, so now our Veggie Tales ornaments are finding a new home next to my angels and girly things). I'm going for "Something for everyone in the family"... now I just need to come up with some manly man ornaments... hmmm.

Here's us opening some presents:

And of course the Christmas projects

bookmarks, key fobs, bag for Little One

Ipod and cell phone case for Big Guy

and for some cuteness here's the note Little One left for Santa last night:

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Goodnight!!!

Love, C.

Happy Birthday, Little One

wow, can't believe I haven't posted in a few weeks. We've been able to do a few fun things with the kids and have enjoyed some awesome summer weather around here - even gave the AC window unit a workout.

Yesterday was Little One's 8th birthday; she wanted a Panda theme.

Here's the cake:

Geez, working with the black icing tubes is a real pain in the behind, but I'm pretty happy how it came out.

Here is Little One with some of her presents:

We munched on some yummy sushi for lunch and I made some chinese food for dinner (in honor of the Panda theme). All in all a good birthday for the little lady.

I will have some more projects photographed soon for a summer project roundup posting.

Blessings,

C.
