I have to start this post with saying that none of us was ready to get up and do Christmas this morning...no one ecept Ty that is.<br />
The rest of us not so much. <br />
Aaron said it best when I woke him up. He said,"I'll just open presents later. I know they'll be ready for me when I get up. I just want more sleep right now." <br />
That's my boy.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well Mister Aaron made his acting debut in a class play called <em>Merry Penguins</em>. He Played an elf named Jingle and he was the cutest elf ever if I do say so myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aaron was not nervous at all and he said he NEVER gets stage fright. According to Aaron, the <strong>only</strong> thing that would frighten him is if he was walking behind someone that looked human, but when they turned around they were actually a zombie. Ha!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When he first came out on stage, we were lucky enough to get a little smile and a wave.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Christmas trees on candle holders.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This one takes a bit of patience, but is really quite easy to put together. The hardest part is cutting out all of your circles! There are so many variations of this craft and I am really bad at remembering pictures while in the throws of craftiness, but I'll do my best to explain.</span><br />

Ok, so I recently fell head over heels in love with Mason Jars. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Really. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm kinda' obsessed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Naturally, when I discovered these ah-mazin-ing Mason Jar snow globes at <a href="http://www.elizabethandco.blogspot.com/2011/12/anthropologie-snow-globes.html">Anthropologie,</a> I had to copy them. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These bad boys range in price from 25-40 dollars so buying them was out of the question when you know how much a mason jar really costs.</div>

I didn't snap any pictures while I was creating them because I had snow flying everywhere and quite frankly I forgot. So here's a link to a fellow blogger that remembered her step by step instructions if you feel like getting your craft on.</div>

Ok, so I am on a serious crafting streak. Here's my latest.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It didn't take long to make and it's really pretty self explanatory. <br />
<br />
<strong>So here's what you need:</strong><br />
<strong>Christmas-y card stock cut into 2-3 inch strips</strong><br />
{You'll need 2 for each letter of your word}<br />
<strong>Christmas-y card stock </strong><br />
{cut into 1 large and 1 small circle for each letter}<br />
<strong>Glue</strong><br />
<strong>Glitter</strong><br />
<strong>Staples</strong><br />
<strong>Hot glue gun/sticks</strong><br />
<strong>Wooden Letters</strong><br />
{or you can print out letters too!}<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">{or you can use glitter glue}</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">9. Mount this to your larger circle with a hot glue gun.</span><br />

You can use any word really and change it up for any holiday or special occasion. You can also add these little do-dads to anything you already have in assorted sizes and colors.<br />
The possibilities are endless...So have fun with this one.</div>

Every year Jeremy's office puts together a big breakfast and Santa and Mrs. Claus pop in to say "Hi". We are SO very lucky that they do this because quite frankly, I don't think I could handle the whole mall scene this time of year. I keep hearing horror stories of 2 hour waits to sit on Santa's lap.<br />
Two hours! <br />
I may sound a little bah-humbug, but I don't really think I could handle that. <br />
I know he's a busy guy, so a great big thank you going out to Santa for taking the time to come to our breakfast. Seriously.<br />

One of my favorite things about this time of year is standing back and watching my boys appreciate all that there is to offer. They take in and notice every detail. I will admit that I so get in a rush this time of year, but the boys seem to slow it down a bit and MAKE me see what I would ordinarily pass on by...It's so refreshing to stop and see what they see.<br />
<br />
Here's Aaron making our Christmas village just right. He really has an eye for detail.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Aaron and Ty were able to participate in an enrichment program at school this year called starstruck. It was a dance performance that basically was just for the pure enjoyment of all the parents. Honestly, we probably could have packed the place with just our family but tickets were limited. So to everyone that didn't get to be there, here's the videos {as promised}. Enjoy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's Ty performing on the first night. He was right in the front row which was great! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately he's right under the spot light at first so you can't see his serious expression, but he rocked <i>It's a Small World!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the second night, Aaron's class performed <i>Whoop there it is</i>! He had a lot of fun too, and he knew his moves better than anyone, he's just a little hard to see at first. He starts out in the back row, but moves his was up. He did such a great job!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DTYkmiTa7jw?rel=0" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kids had a lot of fun with it, and they both have some great moves, not that this comes as a huge surprise with all of their <i>Just Dance</i> experience. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved every minute of this...</div>

I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of wrapping candle with paper, but I thought I would share my Christmas craftiness any way. <br />
I wanted to liven up my candles for the holidays and found this cute paper <a href="http://alteredartifacts.blogspot.com/2010/11/christmas-countdown-and-some-free.html">here</a> to download and print.<br />
<br />
<b>Supplies:</b><br />
candles<br />
card stock<br />
glitter/glitter glue<br />
paper adhesive<br />
rubber bands<br />
paper cutter/scissors<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP3bgmUhIuJveVzqjPqOkhmuXEVrrzKHpeDE5WtXJXQ_hlh_EwNWG9Umy6XVXNwImBr7QB5_2e_1MpSrgaWE-kgs7XejcH5ZzHHJ-t4dLradM-B9tmyX_hD8K8MJ_8M0NtIKLOnIj5Jlc1/s1600/DSC05733.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="377" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP3bgmUhIuJveVzqjPqOkhmuXEVrrzKHpeDE5WtXJXQ_hlh_EwNWG9Umy6XVXNwImBr7QB5_2e_1MpSrgaWE-kgs7XejcH5ZzHHJ-t4dLradM-B9tmyX_hD8K8MJ_8M0NtIKLOnIj5Jlc1/s640/DSC05733.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
First you want to print your paper on card-stock or use any wrapping paper, or scrap booking paper you want. Then you cut the paper to about a centimeter taller than your candle.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3BIO9L_6ncv6tjp-Wc0LeQSUixUPZTcAb_CR7ITmxxmtRB6rV9FDGGrxaA3mWTP7YKBfTEsMawZt6sZRhgNWxhiNu259falubyNmi5HTF18TjOiAR8nL-wZZV5aMfNyHMi_P6eG5YgYG9/s1600/DSC05736.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3BIO9L_6ncv6tjp-Wc0LeQSUixUPZTcAb_CR7ITmxxmtRB6rV9FDGGrxaA3mWTP7YKBfTEsMawZt6sZRhgNWxhiNu259falubyNmi5HTF18TjOiAR8nL-wZZV5aMfNyHMi_P6eG5YgYG9/s640/DSC05736.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
Next you wrap the paper around the candle and glue it together.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX_-V_iCU8hgAuuNaYVcJhf35Wky60CFYOnCn9ld2Mzd3fYox2qRWCMglo0-gr6JUcM1Dm6P7gqgmBExSiMu8YsiODmmRszYFojTd55nbhR3jAta-VpfZqLhrwyGxghVAoZP8fmDGCGNum/s1600/DSC05735.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX_-V_iCU8hgAuuNaYVcJhf35Wky60CFYOnCn9ld2Mzd3fYox2qRWCMglo0-gr6JUcM1Dm6P7gqgmBExSiMu8YsiODmmRszYFojTd55nbhR3jAta-VpfZqLhrwyGxghVAoZP8fmDGCGNum/s640/DSC05735.JPG" width="640" /></a> </div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">
Wrap it with a couple of rubber bands to allow the glue to dry. </div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP_RS9d4TvXIrb_EO4TK7F5V6MnBqrGF95X0PEPVqr5eVGGwABn_pvoYV7fzgM6wZD-Tw8QLLqsabXZ0s7jydkbpjAFnjCaed_CQImBK3PW0qXV5Zmmf8yycd7tZyZiQtNE9UfhGnY0ZkD/s1600/DSC05741.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP_RS9d4TvXIrb_EO4TK7F5V6MnBqrGF95X0PEPVqr5eVGGwABn_pvoYV7fzgM6wZD-Tw8QLLqsabXZ0s7jydkbpjAFnjCaed_CQImBK3PW0qXV5Zmmf8yycd7tZyZiQtNE9UfhGnY0ZkD/s640/DSC05741.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />

I recently went to a color workshop at <a href="http://www.ethanallen.com/">Ethan Allen </a> and learned a few tricks about decorating and adding color and elements to your decor on a buget. So here's one of those super easy, cheap and crafty ideas.<br />
<br />
Grab some branches out of your yard and spray them. {any color you like}<br />
Poke some dots or gumdrops on the ends.<br />
Stick them in a vase, spread them out on your mantel, use them as a centerpiece...whatever floats your boat.<br />

Let me start out by saying that although it's true, I love baking, I am challenged when it comes to yeast breads. They never seem to come out right. So believe me when I say that this recipe is a good one, because even I can do it! There's no kneading, proofing or any funny business you would usually associate with baking bread, so just breathe and don't stress about it.<br />
We love artisan crusty breads, and now that I discovered just how easy they are to make, I love them even more!<br />

We went to my Dad's Thanksgiving evening and got to catch up with the Miller crew. We haven't seen them in a while, so it was really nice to see everyone again. I'm so thankful for all the hard work my Dad and Donna put in making this day come together. Feeding the Millers is no easy feat! They started cooking like 4 days before...but it was worth it! Everything was scrumptious.<br />

We had a busy, but great thanksgiving this year. We normally just go to one house for the festivities so we can get some good quality time with the family and not spend half of the day in the car, but this year we went to my Mom's and my Dad's.<br />
So here's Part one...<br />

I am so grateful for the family that I have. Every last one of them. <br />
I truly believe that it does take a village so to speak to raise children and I don't know how I would do without any of them. <br />
I am so grateful to have such wonderful, supportive parents and in-laws. <br />
I have amazing sisters and a brother that loves rough housing with my active kiddos. <br />
Speaking of kiddos, I just love my boys more and more each day. They bring more joy to my life than I ever thought possible. They make me laugh daily and they are growing into such good, caring little boys.<br />
I was given the gift of my precious surro-fam last year and I just adore them. I love seeing all of the shinnannigans going on in their little houshold.<br />
I have a beautiful home. <br />
I have fabulous friends that I can truly be myself with and I value their advice more than they will ever know. <br />
Last but not least, I have a hardworking, handsome, supportive, loving husband. He is my rock and I lean on him probably more than I should, but he never complains. He works so hard for our little family and is always happy to help those in need. He is also an amazing role model for our little men.<br />
I am truly grateful for all I have in my life... </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyVciIOJRGt3_8x2_6y6GzivuvZxLTjYZJrDnfBMllrNtI-ta2HPnxfxXk5YQO4jMpLISlH6NLXjfyZMgmNQJ2iqkUHMZfffXMnIb-kzkrBLkYwF9caa0eGzU94MGH72Gf-IpoCp3xCs3j/s1600/DSC05522.ARW.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyVciIOJRGt3_8x2_6y6GzivuvZxLTjYZJrDnfBMllrNtI-ta2HPnxfxXk5YQO4jMpLISlH6NLXjfyZMgmNQJ2iqkUHMZfffXMnIb-kzkrBLkYwF9caa0eGzU94MGH72Gf-IpoCp3xCs3j/s640/DSC05522.ARW.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Happy Thanksgiving!!!</div>Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09360113495220453318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825176947248640297.post-24081656426063378332012-11-13T13:22:00.003-08:002012-11-15T12:32:06.910-08:00Always watching...<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">
I have known this little guy is Daddy's #1 fan for quite some time. I have also known that he watches EVERYTHING his Daddy does. What I didn't know was that he was also doing this little routine...<br />
I used my stealth skills to capture this little picture. He ties his towel {like his Daddy} and puts on deodorant {also like his Daddy}. I know kids watch {and listen to} everything, but wow!<br />

Unfortunately I have gotten out of the habit of blogging, and the longer I wait, the more overwhelming it gets. For that reason, I'm not going to waste precious time with my Mom guilt...I'm just going to dive on in and play catch up.<br />
<br />
No Better way to get back into the blogging spirit than to start with a thankful post.<br />
This house has been really focusing on being grateful for everything that we have. Not just this month, but all year. So I thought since the spotlight is on thankfulness this time of year I needed a few things to really hit this idea home, not just with the kids, but all of us. <br />
<br />
I started with this adorable banner as a daily reminder. I found the inspiration, and FREE printable letters <a href="http://saynotsweetanne.com/2011/thanksgiving-banner-free-printable/">here</a>. Then of course I put my own twist on them and mounted them to thick card-stock in the shape of flags. I love how it turned out!<br />

My next little project was really fun for the kids. Lets face it though, ANY time I get out the finger paints, they are SUPER excited! <br />
<br />
I simply printed this <a href="http://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_2045469740"></span>tree<span id="goog_2045469741"></span></a> {which can be used for so many things by the way} and inserted my wording. Then I got out some fall colored finger paints and let the boys go to town with finger print leaves. How cute is this?!?!</div>

Last, and certainly the most fun and meaningful, I made a little garland on our chandelier. Nothing fancy, but worth while. Everyday each of us writes one thing {and it can be ANYTHING! }we are thankful for on a leaf, smear a little glitter glue on it and hang it with a clothespin. </div>

I can not tell you how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one! You can make a fireplace garland a larger tree and "pin the leaf on the tree". Whatever you do, this one is worth it. </div>
