December 23, 2010

Time to show off all our Christmas projects!

Cookies

 Clockwise from left: Chai Gingerbread Bars, Chocolate Peppermint Bark Cookies, Cherry Cheesecake Cookies, and Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies  They were all fabulous.  I really can't pick a favorite.  Whichever I was eating at the time was my favorite!

Wreathes

 

Directions can be found at Moda Bake Shop.  I really enjoyed making these.  They were extremely easy to do and look great hanging up on the wall or door!

Ornaments

Directions can be found at this site.  Maris loved this the best, of course.  And now her grandparents will have a nice Christmas reminder of how big (or tiny) she was for the Christmas of 2010.

Christopher - Our Elf on the Shelf

This was not a craft, but we still had a lot of fun with him.  If you don't know the story behind Christopher Popinkins or the Elf on the Shelf, please read up on it.  It is a fun tradition that I look forward to with our family for many years!  We had a great time each morning looking for Christopher.
