So Long 2010....

2010 has flown by!! It's been a year of ups and downs. Trent and I both had the blessing of getting promotions with work thus helping us financially but had to experience the heartache of having three miscarriages. Hopefully 2011 will be a year of great outcomes. Bring it on!!

Happy New Year

Yummy, Yummy, In my Tummy!

It's been a tradition for a very long time to go to our friend Michelle Kelly's house to decorate sugar cookies during the holidays! Well tonight after work we spent a few hours decorating 75 cookies or so! It was so fun!! I used a new technique while decorating called "flooding." It's used with watered down royal icing and makes a very smooth layer of icing! Here's a picture of my first ever "flooded" cookies. Not bad....right?

It's Almost Here

ONE WEEK!

It's my favorite time of year and it's one week away....Christmas is almost here!!

'Tis the Season!

It's my favorite time of year.....Christmas! I put up my Christmas decorations last week after Thanksgiving and am loving the holiday feel in my home! There are a few decorations that I made for the season. First is the Christmas countdown blocks. When I originally took these pictures it was 27 days 'til Christmas but now it is 21. So excuse my inaccurate picture! The other is a cranberry Christmas tree. I had this old wire Christmas tree decoration that was losing it's vibrancy and I had a grocery bag full of fake cranberries. Well if you put two and two together and hot glue than you get.....the new and improved Christmas Tree. I'm thinking of adding some type of beads for the "ornaments" but haven't quite decided on it yet. Anyways, I hope you all have as much fun putting your Christmas decorations up as I did!

Merry Christmas :)

*Don't worry....the door that the tree is blocking, we never use.
