It's the most wonderful time of the year . . .

We have been busy with "Christmas stuff" around here and the girls are loving it. Since the gingerbread house we have made puppy chow, chex mix, divinity, gingerbread men, and white chocolate covered pretzels. Here's a picture of the girls making gingerbread men, and then one of the divinity. Hardly anyone up here has heard of divinity!

The girls have also been enjoying the snow a little. Ok, so "enjoying" means I maybe let them go out once a day for about 5 minutes. Do I go out with them and play? Nope, it's WAY too cold for mom. This is my favorite room, we call it the fireplace room. I think I posted a picture of our stockings last year, but I just love them. They're actually giant mittens, knitted by my mom.
One of these days I'm going to capture the beauty of twinkling lights on a Christmas tree at night. Anyway, here's our tree in the daytime. The girls have actually been pretty good about not messing too much with the ornaments or gifts this year.

Best friends (well, sometimes!)

Here's a few videos I thought you might enjoy:




Think we've been having too much pizza lately?

Anything Emily does, Bri does (as you can see!) It's a good thing Emily is the older sister and Bri is the younger!

Those videos are so cute! Also, I'm wondering why you have a set of knitted stockings and we only have one for Paisley? Mom? But, we do have the ones that you gave us a while back, so we're good.

Soooooo cute. I love how Emily kisses Bri and Bri says, "You're not nice!" Too funny.

Annie,
It's only because you never asked! I don't like to impose my "homemade" stuff on anyone who doesn't want it. What colors do you want?
And, yes, the videos are too cute!

I wish I had some divinity. I haven't had that in forever. Wish I could be there to see the kids during this time of year. They are at a good age to enjoy it. All my love
