So you can head on over HERE and check out our before and after pictures of a Christmas wreath we "fluffed" up!

Friday Friend Feature - My Favorite Finds

Last Saturday we were featured on My Favorite Finds blog. She featured our CTR Blocks post.

This is a great blog to spend some time checking out!  She has some great ideas on cooking, organizing your home and even parenting. She has so many yummy recipes that I am dying to try out!

I really like her Menu Planning tab!  The question I ask myself every day is "What should we have for dinner?"  She pretty much has the whole year planned out and even the links to find the recipes at!  You have to go and check her out!

Visiting Teaching- December 2011

This month for my visiting teaching I found this site with a really cute idea.  I always like to give my sisters a little something- especially the ones that I cannot get a hold of and won't answer the door.  It is nice to leave something at their door.   

HERE is the site.  

I just changed it up a little so I didn't have to buy a whole bunch of stuff. 

You can find the Visiting Teaching Message HERE.

The finished Project- called Surprise Snowball

Here are the things I included in the Snowball...

Andies Mints

Pretzels

Kit-Kat Candy Bar

Crayons

Sunflower Seeds

Yeast

My favorite- A Glass Ornament with a Atlas cut up in it.

Here is all of my Surprise Snowballs

All of my sisters LOVED them and it was nice that every gift had something to do with the lesson.

Oh Christmas Tree!

One of my sons has been wanting to do this project for a while now.  So we decided to do this last night.  We made Christmas trees!

Materials needed:

Waffle ice cream cones

Green frosting

M&M's

Sprinkles

All the kids frosted their cones and then decorated them!  They had so much fun!

The rule was: You make it, you eat it!

And they enjoyed the eating part too!

Merry Christmas everyone!
