Pinterest

I’m addicted…obsessed. I absolutely love Pinterest. I can’t get enough of the amazing ideas. Too bad I’m too lazy to do most of them…honest but lazy :-) So I picked out an easy project that Camden and I could do together. I normally take complete control of a project as most of you know, wink wink Jen. I actually let Camden do some of the cutting and gluing. We made an advent calendar for Christmas. I ordered the boxes and we decorated with scrapbook paper. Since the kids got candy calendars from Jamey’s grandma, I filled ours with activities. Driving to see the lights, watching Christmas movies, baking cookies, making ornaments, even a trip to ICE. I’m pretty proud even if it is pretty simple. I think I’m more pleased that I actually did it than with the actual project! Who knows? Maybe there will be a second project :-)

I love those J-I-N-G-L-E bells!

Yay!!! Christmas time is here again! In the true Christmas spirit, we got our tree the day after Thanksgiving and decorated the house. Well, the inside at least! We got a later start after having our Christmas pictures done and still got everything I wanted out and up! Can’t wait to put up the outside lights and make our Christmas cards :-) Camden and I are going to do an advent calendar project I found on Pinterest too! I only got to put up one tree this year (sob, sob) because of our computer desk, we just didn’t have the room. Hopefully by next Christmas we will be in our new house and I can have three trees! So here is the progress, minus the candy canes and bows. I’ll add those today, gotta get new ones.
