Tis The Season

We have sure been busy in our house as I'm sure you all have this time of year. We've had lots of Christmas parties with friends and family, one of which we hosted at our house. It wasn't too extravagant; just a few neighbors, goodies, games and a white elephant exchange. Addy was so excited because she had dressed herself so we left her in this sweet outfit all night. She is really into changing her clothes multiple times a day!

One of the games we played, you had to roll the dice and then if you got a six you had to put on gloves and a scarf and then with two spoons try to open a small candy bar. It was quite humorous to say the least.

It was a fun night and thanks to everyone who came a brought such great gifts! I can't wait for next year :)

We've also spent lots of time outside shoveling snow! I should say Mitch has spent most of the time out in the cold, I've only gone out a couple of times to help. One day we got the whole family out helping and Addy loved playing in the snow. She would pick up a handful of snow off the ground and then put it on my shovel, it was such a great help!

Last Monday night, we put together a gingerbread village for FHE. Mitch and I frosted the pieces together and then Addy helped us decorate it. I love looking at it and seeing all her little clusters of candy of globs of frosting. It makes me happy :)

We've also been busy making christmas goodies and treats for our lovely neighbors and friends. We finished them all up on Sunday but didn't get them all passed out because it got kinda late. But just look at that plate of deliciousness! I love this family tradition even though it takes several days to make all the stuff and Addy sneaks little bits and makes a HUGE mess with the chocolate, it is still great to be altogether in the kitchen.

I also made these little rice heat packs for my YW. I thought they turned out pretty cute.

Amazingly, I still have more things to post but I think this is sufficient for now. Till next time.
