Still Decking the Halls...

What's Christmas without a Gingerbread House?






That ginger bread house making is a lot of work, and it makes a little boy very hungry and a Grandpa very tired. lol
Tannon was so excited, he has been waiting for weeks to build this house- he called
 his Mom to make some gingerbread men for the house. Get right on that Mom...

I stayed home all day to do some final crafts, it was so relaxing in my PJ's.
I could really get used to a life of PJ's and crafting. Ha-ha


Found these cute letters at Wal-mart, so I had to Mod-podge some cute paper on them-RIGHT?


I also found these styrofoam shapes at Wal-mart, so I wrapped them in cute yarn and glued them on a wooden spool that is mod-podged with cute paper. Glued berries,stars, and a felted ball on top. I will keep these out for January Decor.


I found this tree at Pebbles in my pocket-wrapped it in tinsel and glued a felted ball on top. The snowman was gifted to me last year, so I  introduced him to my tree. They make a good pair- don't you think?


This is where the PEACE ended up, because the letters would not stand up. ugh..
so I glued them on red tinsel, so I could hang them somewhere. 
I wanted them above my nativity,but they were too heavy...{boo}
oh well, it is the eleventh hour so I'll make do.
Well goodnight my friends, I have much cooking to do tomorrow for all my kids and grands.
{I will miss you Chris & Cic.}= tiny tears

Have a very Merry Christmas!!!

Find someone to serve tomorrow...
it will do your heart good.

I can't believe that we are 5 days away from CHRISTMAS...what, where, and how did that happen?
Well I must catch up so here I go...

Now lets get to the Decor around my house.


I love the Peace Tree.




and the Nativity









I'm a hoping someone fills these up with good stuff-{not coal}.I've been good {really}.












This is just a portion of the decor
the house is oozing with Christmas!
And I am loving all of it,
especially the Music.


Tonight the Hubbs and I made 3 batches of Fudge
and the house is smothered in chocolate,
just the way it should be!


We are trying to read a Christmas story every night, and that is such a nice way to 
fall asleep...awww
Hey don't laugh, it's a way to bring excitement into the empty nest.


3 more parties
Secret Santa
Neighbor gifts
Wrap 12 more presents
read..read...read
The book of Mormon.
And a partridge in a pear tree!




I guess thats all for now...
I'm stressing myself out. ha-ha


I'm asking you to pray for my sister,
{She is struggling with her health}.
Luv Ya Sis!


I'm wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
May you all have Peace in your heart!
As we celebrate our Savior.
