It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

You know, it just wouldn't be Christmas without some Christmas crafts...especially the sweet edible ones that always seem to show up around this time of year. My latest idea for "crafty fun" was creating edible snowmen out of powdered doughnuts and doughnut holes. The hats were oreo cookies topped with a Reese's peanut butter cup. The boys had a great time, but the frosting proved to be a little lacking as an edible glue, and well..........

And this guy managed to stay upright for the photo!!

More Yummy Treats!
I always stop and pick up doughnuts after I work a 24 hour shift...the boys LOVE my coming home even more when I have Krispy Kreme in hand! Of course, the snowman doughnuts are out for Christmas....sheer delight!!

Our Christmas Tree 2008

The boys got to decorate the tree by themselves this year. It was a little hard for me at first (control freak that I can be), but watching them beam over their accomplishment made it a bit easier. The best part was watching them put no less than three ornaments on one tiny frasier fur branch...I still crack up whenever I look at our tree. It is so cute...and way too funny!!

When I asked Tanner if he wanted to spread these guys out a bit, he emphatically replied, "No, Mom! Dinosaurs stay together!!"
What was I thinking???

See?!?! This little branch has at least five ornaments on it...six inches to the left...bare bones...no shiny bit of ornament in sight. I just love the perspective of a child!! And isn't Christmas really all about a Child anyway?!
Merry Christmas everyone!!
