I think I just may have to buy these, I think they are too cute! They are at Crate and Barrel.  I could probably
re-decorate my house each year thanks to Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn and Pier 1.

                                                            


We are definitely in full swing for the holidays in our household. We have already had breakfast with Santa at school, marched in the local Christmas parade and I have finished 90% of my shopping. I am working on our cub scout "Christmas Around the World" party as well as the holiday parties for both boy's classes. I am looking forward to the local wedding planners getting together for our December meeting and the great gift exchange. Don't you love all the festivities?

I hope everyone takes the time to enjoy quality moments with their loved ones and takes the time to reflect on what the season means to them based on their individual faiths.

Fun mom tip: When my boys first started to get curious about where I was hiding gifts during this time of year, I told them what happens when you peek at your gifts...they all go back because the holiday cheer has been ruined. So far, it's worked. They are just glad to know there will be gifts under the tree. My youngest however believes that if I can't find one of his wish list items like a Power Ranger from 10 years ago (he watched the old movies) he told me to just tell Santa because he can still get all those parts. Ahhhh! Or mom can try E-bay. 

Happy Holidays,
