Christmas 2011

Christmas is meant to be spent with family and good friends and that is sooo what we did! :) Hope you all had a wonderful time!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!

Childhood

We went to Riverwoods Mall the other night to look at the X-mas lights and visit with Santa. As we said our good byes to Santa we were confronted with the coolest toy store I've been in a while. While looking through toys I saw this toy that so reminded me of my childhood and right away I started to think about all the stuff I played with, watched it and did wear as a child and it sure did put a smile on my face. Oh, I so want my kids to have a fun childhood and good memories as I do!!! :) Here are some of my fun childhood memories:

Gingerbread House

Another fun night during X-mas season! :)

Bella and Jack's piano recital! :)

Bella and Jack have been taking piano classes for a few months now and made us so proud tonight at the recital! :) Keep it up, guys! Special thanks to teacher Paula that made it all come together!

A special spot

Yay, I just got my chair done yesterday and I am now done with my sewing/craft area project. I love how it looks, I love how organized everything is now, I love how I don't have to be moving everything back and forth and I look foward to the time I am going to spend in this special area I created! :)

Christmas tree decoration

It's sure a special night when we get to decorate our Christmas tree as a family. I love to listen to Christmas songs as we decorate the tree. I love watching Bella and Jack being so excited. I love turning the lights in our Christmas tree every night and hanging out in the living room, it is a oh so peaceful feeling! I LOVE CHRISTMAS SEASON!!!

Lamp

Nothing like new fabric on an old thrift store bought lamp! Love it and so does my sewing desk! :)
