I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!!

We had a wonderful time with lots of family, parties and food!  I don't think I need to eat again until 2011!

Despite some questionable behaviour throughout the year, Santa did indeed make a visit to my house lol!!

Abby's favourite gift was her pink DSi, Josh's was his Kirby's Epic Yarn for Wii and Brady was thrilled with his new snowboard.  Santa said he would not bring me an iPad but I think in the end he felt guilty for washing my iPod a few months ago and gave in :)

Here are some pics from the last couple of weeks using today's templates:

 
 

I used the Silly Christmas Kit for my layouts.

I would love to hear what your kids favourite Christmas gifts were this year!

Sassy Christmas Shopping

3 hours at Costco and the grocery store, $600 on food for the holidays, 1 hour putting it all away + 3 kids = MISERY!

Hope you had more of a festive day than I did lol!

Silly Merry Christmas WA

We did a bunch more Christmas crafts today:

 
My Mommy also came over to help me make new stockings for Brent and the kids.  I had made this one for Brady for his first Christmas:

 

It took me countless hours to make but I fear that it will get wrecked so I have always wanted to replace it with something a little more durable for him to use.  I also could never find a similar sized kit to do stockings for Abby and Joshua.  Here are the new stockings:

 

They are the same style and size as my stocking that my mom made for me when I was younger :)

Brady also took a try at using the sewing machine:

 

He made himself a Christmas "headband" using the scraps from the stockings ... let's hope he loses it by Christmas lol because there is no way I want him wearing it in pictures Christmas morning!

I made today's word art freebie using the felt stitched alphas available in my store!

Silly Stockings!

Surprise, surprise ... the kids wanted to get most of my fun "to do" list checked off the first day!

 

Joshie wrapping his presents and filling out his tags.

 

Abby was pretty pleased with her purchases ... and the tooth she lost yesterday ... or should I say the tooth her Auntie Karin yanked from her head!

 
We did the gingerbread houses (one has already collapsed) and gingerbread cookies.  I am not sure why they have such strange looks on their faces, perhaps it is the sugar rush!
 

I had wanted to show you this block tree I made a few weeks ago but kept forgetting to take pics.  It is not quite finished - I need a few more decorations on it (I am still searching for the perfect tiny ornaments) and I need a star on top.  I built it on a lazy susan and used around 140 blocks.  You can not really tell by the picture but most of the blocks spell out words around the tree.  It says Merry Christmas around the bottom and also contains my children's names, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, kiss, St. Nick, snow etc.  I had helped my Auntie make one years ago and had always wanted to do one for myself.  I finally got around to it!  The kids love spinning it around to look at the ornaments and their names :)

Sassy Hangin' the Stockings WA

We spent the weekend with Brent's family celebrating the holiday season and we all had a great time!  Let Christmas week begin!!

On my list to do with the kids this week:  gingerbread house, gingerbread people, Christmas crafts, Christmas movies, taking them out to do their shopping (hope Auntie Linda doesn't get another shotglass necklace this year lol!), driving around looking at Christmas lights and I plan to make new stockings for them.  Which leads me today's freebie ...

The stockings can be found individually and in various colours in my store in the Sassy, Tough and Silly Christmas Kits!

Tough? Merry Christmas!

 
I labelled this one Tough just because I used the Tough red on the reindeer but technically it could work with any of the kits!  This pic is from last year - too cute!

Tough Tree Trimming

For all of my planning in advance and getting things done early I totally dropped the ball on teacher's gifts and class treats.  I spent all day today making goodies for them to take and now my tummy is aching from all of the excess chocolate that somehow fell into my mouth :)  Will posts pics tomorrow! (of the goodies ... not of me covered in chocolate)

 

This QP was made using my Tough Christmas Kit!

Only 2 1/2 days left until the kids are off for Christmas break!  I am really excited about them being home and all of the festive activities I have planned :)  I am going to change things up on my blog for the next couple of weeks and put the major parts of the Silly, Sassy and Tough Kits on hold and just post little festive bits and pieces for the kits.  This will give me a little bit more time to concentrate on all of the fun at home but still give you gifts and updates on the Digitreats family during the holiday season!
