I seriously LOVE Christmas time. I love the music, I love the shopping. Heck I even love addressing a zillion Christmas cards till my hand hurts. I love the colors of the season and I especially LOVE the decorations. We've been doing crafts and more crafts adding to our holiday decor. The big boys love to help me. The baby loves to see just how talented of a crafter I am by forcing me to do it all with one hand and an extra 15 pounds around my neck. And so he wasn't left out I made him Christmas themed paci clip.
So we've made Candy cane button ornaments. Super easy, and way cute.
I spray painted these giant JOY letters and put them up in a niche I never quite know how to adorn.
I got my Martha on with this fun, albeit time consuming, tree craft. See how here...And although this is a picture of it part way finished you get the idea. I did complete it, but never took a picture. Oh well.
I glittered name tags for the stockings, since there has been a debate on whose is whose. I added a cute candy cane striped ribbon and hung them on the mantle with the stockings.
The boys did a gingerbread house, only managed to spill all the candy once, and eat only a small amount of it along the way.
And finally just a few of the 'round the house decor.
I especially LOVE my tree- so it gets it's own post soon to come...

I love all the Christmas crafts. So cute. Wanna live by me so I can learn how to make all this cute stuff?
You always decorate so cute for the holidays! If only I had to energy and patience to do all that with my kids. You are such a good mother!
Dude! You think that you can rub some of that Martha craftiness on me? I need to do some fun stuff like that with the girls.
Your house always puts mine to shame. Love the Christmas Decor!
I also need some of the craftiness rubbed on me and maybe some of your energy too! You are such a fun mom!!
Wow, you're ambitious! Your house looks so cute. I loved those button candy canes! My girls would love that.
Amanda, that button craft came from Hobby Lobby. But you can do the same thing, just take 12 buttons, 10 inches of wire and thread it. SO easy! Then bend into a candy cane shape!
Way to get your craft on, girlie! I can't believe you had so much energy. Your house looked fabulous as usual for bunco. ANd your tree makes a fabulous mobile for the baby. I love it!
