Christmas Goodies

On Sunday and Monday I spent the afternoons making Christmas Goodies.  Oreo Balls, PB Balls, Fudge, Spritz Cookies, and Ginger Snap Cookies.  They all turned out very yummy.  Today I wrapped them up and got them ready to give out to our friends and neighbors.  

Haircut

I've been wanting to get my haircut well since Charlie was born.  I kept waiting until I could go to Tony's aunt in Blackfoot to get it done...but alas I could wait no longer.  So I went to the local hair school to get it done.  I have to admit I was a little nervous about going to the school, but they did a really good job!  I got about 5 inches taken off.  Hopefully I still like it tomorrow when I have to style it myself.  

 Before I got it cut.  

Alaina's Bedspread

It's done!  It's finally done!  It seemed to take forever!  But after many hours of hard work it turned out great.  I'm very pleased and so is Alaina, which is the important part.  

 So Alaina's room is done...now on to the boys room.  Hopefully I'll get it done before Charlie's 1st birthday.  But, honestly at this point it may not. ;)  

Bean Bag

Why is the stuffing from our bean bag on the couch, in boxes, and baskets you ask?  Well last week when Alaina got the Flu she got "sick" on the bean bag twice!  As you can imagine the smell that lingered on the bean bag was quite unpleasant.  So even though it's a pain and time consuming, I emptied out the bean bag and washed it.  So now our bean bag is clean and smells much better.  

Our Little Gymnist

Alaina has been doing Gymnastics for the last couple months and loves it!  She's actually really good at it too!  Ever since Alaina could walk she's been up on her tip toes, we figure we should put this trait to good use.  Last Saturday was the gyms Fall Showcase.  This gives the kids an opportunity to show their family and friends what they've been learning.  Alaina did great and loved getting her medal!    

I'll post video's later. 

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Charlie's Stocking

Who made this Stocking for Charlie?  Me!  That's who!  Not to toot my own horn by I think it turned out way cute!  And it only cost $3 in materials and I have enough left over for other projects!
