Creative Ideas to Ring in the New Year....

Just a few ideas that I thought were awesome on Pinterest! 





First Night Hats
Family Fun







Kid's New Year Party Craft
Paper and Cake






Countdown Goodie Bags
Hoosier Homemade
 
 
 
 
 
Unfortunately, I work this evening, so won't be able to do too much with the kiddos.  Party hats may happen before I go to work- we'll see how the day goes! I'd love to hear about any fun you may be having with your little ones today.
 
Enjoy your New Year's Eve and many blessings into the New Year.  I'm hoping to make it home in time for my midnight kiss!

Christmas Memories...

Hello. I'm back!  I took a little break from blogging to enjoy the Christmas season and to plan for festivities, such as little man's birthday party.  He turned 2 this week!  I thought I'd post a few of our Christmas pics and then later this week, I'll share little man's cookie monster party!

You know that you've been married a long time
when you buy each other Sesame pajamas for Christmas!


Happy New Year and many blessings,

December Happenings....



A Lyrical Christmas Carol
Sunshine danced and sang her heart out!

Little man
He's been busy taking ornaments off of the tree,
knocking over our tree, and getting his
finger stuck in an ornament. Yikes!
Luckily, no one is injured.

The Nightengale by Amy Short

Isn't this illustration just beautiful?  It was created by a friend of mine who also is a talented artist.  I just love it!  Although it could be for any time of year, it reminded me of Christmas, so I wanted to share. To find our more information about Amy's work or to make a purchase, be sure to stop by her site.
