Christmas Survey

I saw this on my friend LaNelle's blog so I though I would give it try!
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I WRAPPING PAPER! Hands down. My grandma Shumway was famous for using the most beautiful shiny Christmas wrap. I AM GONNA MISS THAT!
2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial, just because I would worry to death about killing it. But I do love the smell of real trees thats why I have an evergreen wall flower in my living room!
3. When do you put up the tree? Usually a few days after Thanksgiving
4. When do you take the tree down? Around New Years
5. Do you like eggnog? PUKE ON MY FACE. However, it does remind me of my dad
6. Favorite gift received as a child? Hmmm... This one year I got the coolest doll house. My sister and dad put it together I believe. I STILL HAVE IT!

10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail... HANDS DOWN!
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Hm... well this one time my Grandma sent something in a box that was a hot dog cooker thingy and for like 2 weeks I thought that is what she had bought me. LOL! BUt it wasn't really the worst.

We also made salt dough ornaments for Hinks to paint!

Holiday craftiness again

So this past weekend the boys had drill so we were suppose to have a girls day when we just baked the whole day! However, it was just me and Nichole! Well, Rachel came for a little while but we went out for lunch and went to wal-mart. But needless to say Nichole and I had A BLAST! She taught me some fun stuff about cake decorating can candy making. Here are some fun pics

Holiday craftiness

So I decided that it is time I introduce HInckley into art and craft time. I have been such a bad mom at doing things like that with him. We do a lot of coloring but that is the extent of our fun. So we went to wal-mart today and got a few things to do! Here is just the beginning!
