Crafty Christmas

We're getting closer and closer to Christmas, which means it's crunch time for gift getting, house decorating and all things holiday related. Our weekends, thankfully, are low key right now, which frees up time to get a little crafty.

Nate has taken the reigns this year, helping the kids glue gumdrops and candy-coated chocolates to slabs of gingerbread with the help of sticky, sweet icing. He is doing a great job walking the fine line of letting them slip an M&M here, a lick of frosting there, while making sure we're not sharing germs with others who might indulge in our crafty efforts.





See the star on the back of our house? That was my singular contribution to the cause. Please, hold your applause.

Inspired by our sugary piece of holiday real estate, Nate and the kids later tackled some cookie-in-a-jar treats to share with neighbors and friends. Word on the street is these jars contain the ingredients for Santa's favorite cookie. We'll find out in a few more days!
