341 of 365 - Cinnamon Ornaments!!

If you haven't ever made these,
you should!
They are super easy and
smell AMAZING!!!


If you store them in an airtight container,
they should keep smelling wonderful for a few years!
After we baked them we painted them with
glitter glue.
The kids are excited to take them home 
to hang on their trees.

Here's the recipe...

1 cup each cinnamon & applesauce
2 Tbsp each cloves, nutmeg & white glue
Mix all ingredients until they form dough. Knead until
you can form a dough ball.
Sprinkle cinnamon onto your surface to roll out the dough.
Use cookie cutters for your shapes. The holes are made with a straw.
Put dough on a cookie sheet and bake at 200 degrees,
flipping over after an hour. These need to bake until they are hard.

Have fun!!!

We finally bought some.
Tonight was a great night for a beverage.


Hopefully the combination of the 
atmosphere and rum & egg nog
will help to get me in the Christmas Spirit!


339 of 365 - Last Kids Christmas Party

It was a sad day today.

Ashley attended her very last
Kids Christmas Party.


We will miss going to them.
It was always a good excuse for us
to do something as a family.
We looked forward to going through the
Western Development Museum each year.
Maybe it will be something that we do
each year as a tradition.
That would be nice.

Julie, an amazing photographer & fellow blogger,
has been taking some pretty awesome
photos with Christmas lights and
 I thought I would
like to give it a try.


Thank you,
once again for the inspiration Julie!
