Christmas Decorating

I’ve been working on this project for the kids for a little over a month. 

  
I started crocheting tiny stockings for homemade Advent Calendars. 

  
Seventy five stockings later, I finally put this project together. 

  
I used foam board, mini clothes pins, and yarn to string the stockings together. 

  
I filled the mini stockings with the kids favorite chocolates. 

  
I’m also crocheting star ornaments for Dylan and Agnes’ classes. I’ve got sixty of them to make before their Christmas break. 

I’ve decorated a little around the house. 

  
  
I still haven’t set up the Christmas tree, but maybe I’ll get that done this weekend.

Kitchen Days

Thanksgiving is almost here, and I can’t wait! I often say that Thanksgiving is my Super-Bowl, and I mean it. 

  
I started baking and cooking what I could on Monday. I finished shopping on Tuesday, before the kids were out for Thanksgiving break. 

Today I woke up extra early, grabbed a big cup of coffee, and got to it. 

I had two solid hours in the kitchen before the kids were up. I made four pies, and prepped five sides for Thanksgiving dinner. 

 

Mia helped with some of the dirty dishes.  
I threw dinner in the crock-pot just in case I’m tired of cooking later. 

Time to go get back to it, I’ve got to figure out what to make for lunch.
