Christmas Ornaments

Ok, so I can't take credit for these cute little ornaments at all. We got them from Nerd Nest. If you haven't gone to their blog, YOU SHOULD! They are such a cute couple who are quite crafty and creative and have an adorable family.

Santa Hat Ornament

What you will need:

red construction paper
cardboard (I used an old cereal box)
cotton balls
scissors
glue

1. Glue the paper to the cardboard.

2. Cut out the shape of a Santa hat.

3. Glue the cotton balls to the Santa hat.

Super cute and very easy!

Button Wreath Ornament

What you'll need:

Green construction paper

cardboard (I used an old cereal box)

green buttons

glue

scissors

1. Glue the paper to the cardboard.

2. Cut out a wreath shape.

3. Glue the buttons to the wreath.

Another super easy and really cute ornament. Of course I put a whole into each of them using a whole punch and put yarn through it so we can hang them on the tree.

Long Time, No Talk

Hey!! It’s been so long since I’ve come on here with anything other than recipes. Sadly, I haven’t been cooking much lately, so I don’t have any new recipes at the moment, but I have been super busy. It’s Nutcracker season in our house. It’s Christmas time, school concert time, and we have a million birthdays happening now and soon, but the thing that’s taking up all of our time is Nutcracker Shenanigans. All three girls are in the show. This year, Scottie is a sunflower. Rylie is a party child, a strawberry, and the understudy for both Clara and Fritz. Sydney is a snow, a trooper, and a part time flower. Ben is also working tech for the show. He’s been helping set everything up, and during the show he’ll be working the light board. I’ve been volunteering by watching littles during the tech week rehearsals, and another mom and myself have taken on the responsibility of running the Nutcracker Tea Party fundraiser for the pre professional dance company. It’s been fun, exhausting, someti
