Christmas Eve, fun at Nana & Poppa's house.....

All the creature's were stirring!!!!

The annual Christmas tree photo!!

The more people taking photo's the better!!

Present's, oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about!!!

A Wii, we have been wanting that for a long time!!

All little girls need a big yellow truck!!

HEY, that is Colin's Lego, why are you guys building it!!!



A boy (my brother Kevin) and his dog Breeze. She is such a well behaved doggy, considering there were 4 kids tearing around that night!!

Only 2 More Sleeps...........

until we go to Nana & Poppa's house. This has been a tradition for a long time, even when I was younger we went to my Oma & Opa's for Christmas Eve and once we got older we started to go to my Mom & Dad's. We love it because it leaves Christmas Day free for us as a family. John's family is invited up to our place for a big Brunch on Christmas morning, and after they leave it is quiet and relaxing.

Here are some pictures of Hannah and Colin decorating cookies today. Tomorrow Hannah's friend will be here and we are making gingerbread houses and chocolate goodies.

Triangle Santa Box .......plus a free file

Check out this little cutie, I designed him with the Silhouette. It took me a few tries to get the triangle box right, but I did it. You can download it on the bottom right under Silhouette Files. When you click on it, it will take you to my file sharing site, there are actually 3 files for the box. One is the box itself, which can be used for anything, then the Santa is done in 2 files, 1 for the white parts, and 1 for the red and flesh coloured parts. Have fun, let me know how it works for you.

Bad Blogger, Bad, Bad Blogger!!

Things have been so crazy around here, I have neglected my blogging. There is to much to catch up on so I will give you an update !!

Final week of school and the Family Christmas and Craft Night at the school, what a blast that was, each teacher was hosting a craft in their classroom for the first hour and a half, then everyone congregated in the gym for some caroling accompanied by 2 guitar playing teachers and 1 piano playing one, it was so much fun. After the caroling, Santa arrived for the kids visit with and talk to him about whether they have been naughty or nice, I couldn't get all 3 kids to sit with him at once so here are the pics of each of them!!




Here are the little Teacher's Gifts I made with my Cricut. They had some chocolate covered coffee beans and a Chapter's gift card in them. I got the .cut file from this very talented lady's blog, so head on over if you want it too.



Oh, goodness you can see my mess in the background!! Oh well, all is fine when creating!! I think that will be my new Mantra!!!

And last but not least, this happened almost 2 weeks ago. John hit a dear (actually a large buck) on his way into work at about 6:00 am. We are still waiting for the insurance company to settle, they want to give us so little for the car, there is no way we can get a replacement for the amount they want to give us, so we are disputing.


So if I don't post again before Christmas, I would like to wish everyone a Safe and Merry Christmas.
