| Parent Gifts! |
During the last week before our break we made gifts for our parents. This has always been a struggle in the past because I have tried making so many gifts, but have never liked them enough to do them twice. However, this gift is my favorite. Last year I decided to make snowmen out of fence posts (credit to pinterest). I buy the wood in packs of 12 from Lowes and my brother in law cuts the end for me to make it look like a post that can go into the ground. I get the socks in big packs from Target (which is not a bad price since you only need one sock per kid). I buy buttons and ribbon from Michaels. Ribbon is very cheap around the holidays! The nose is just orange felt. The kids choose all of their colors and placement and I just hot glue it for them. They write their name and year on the back and they are done! It is very simple, yet SO cute and parents LOVE them because they can put them anywhere, leave them up ALL winter (which is almost all year in MN), and use them year after year! I loved watching the kids bring them home. They were thrilled to give their handy work to their parents.

Lastly, on December 22nd I got a new nephew, Colton Thomas :-) It was a fun break getting to know the new little guy and an enjoyable Christmas. Can you tell my dog was enjoying her break?
