Soooo? Do you have your Christmas tree up yet?? My girls have been so excited for Christmas that ours has been up for about a week now and the kids are LOVING it! Every craft project they do, no matter how big or small, they say, “I’m going to hang this on the tree!”

You know those packs of coloured popsicle sticks that you can buy in the craft section at the dollar store? I keep buying them. And I’ll be honest. I have NO idea what crafts I’m supposed to do with them!? I’m a pretty crafty person, but those usually leave me pretty stumped. When my kids are looking for a craft, I usually give them a few coloured popsicle sticks, pass them a bottle of glue, some pipe cleaners, pom poms and googly eyes and see what they come up with. lol We get some VERY strange looking cats and a whole lot of magic wands!

I totally did it you guys! I pulled out my rolling pin and cookie cutters AND I made homemade icing AND used a piping bag. Holy cow, it was a busy day in this household! It might not sound like a lot, but I’m a total newbie at this. I haven’t used my rolling pin since we first got married. And I’ve never ever made homemade icing before. Ever. I’m not convinced I made it with the right consistency, but it was delicious, and my Christmas tree sugar cookies turned out beautifully! So I’ll count it as a win!

You know that excited feeling you get when you walk down the Christmas aisle and it’s Just. So. Sparkly. You just want to buy everything? (It can’t just be me who feels that way?) When I was in university, my sister and I shared a townhouse and the first Christmas we spent there together, we went to the hardware store and bought a Christmas tree, tinsel and tons of ornaments to put on it.  And I mean TONS of ornaments (and lights for that matter…).

For the past couple of years, I’ve bought our Halloween candy purposely looking for the boxes that have peanut butter cups in them. Then, and I don’t know how it happens (ha!), but 3 or 4 days later, all of the peanut butter cups are gone!? So, I have to go out and buy an extra bag or two of just Reese peanut butter cups on their own. You know, so we don’t run out and all.
