It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

After the kids got home from school yesterday James and I decided to make Christmas Angels that my mother in law had bought for us. We patiently waited all week for me to do them with them, so yesterday I couldn't resist when he asked again. We went for a quick jog and then started Christmas fun!

We had decided to use the angels as name places for Christmas day. Then James had the great idea to make every angel have each person's personality. SO awesome!!

Then Rosie and James and I made advent calendars to start the season off! I was at my friend's house yesterday and she inspired me to make my own this year. Here is mine...still am going to add a bit, but it was so fun to do! I took old tea bags and wiped them on white cards to make them look old, then stitched it up and added the number...then placed it on an old bag. The theme this year is old fashioned, traditional, & home made! I am so excited to get our tree on Friday.






James' Advent Calendar--he made it all by himself! And will put two candies in each day....one for him and one for dad. He loves his dad!



Rosie's Calendar! (How cute is my sister in law!?!?!)
