Neighbor gifts...got saying from mylilluna.blogspot.com
Magnets for Gabe and Kent's magnet/dry erase boards we found at Walmart on a SUPER deal {I just printed out printables from Disney's website and Familyfun website, laminated, and stuck a magnet on the back}

Magnet holders
Cake pops for teachers and friends SUPER cheap but not so super easy...I suck at dipping chocolates without making a HUGE mess:)

Christmas cookies





Homemade Christmas {Part 4}





I made Gabe and Kent block puzzles using 1.5 inch blocks from Hobby Lobby and 6 pictures of their favorite things (batman, tigers, Curious George, puppies, and a picture of each of them). Then I found these cool box things at Honks and went on $0.88 day - so this ended up being an easy and cheap craft - those are the kinds I LOVE!

Idaho



We spent a few days in Idaho with Adam's family and had a great time...the kids LOVED playing with their cousins - such fun!

Homemade Christmas {part 3}

The aftermath of my crafting:)
Homemade car mat!
This is another great idea I got from servingpinklemonade.blogspot.com. I am a huge fan of wonder under - great stuff! This little project is 7 pieces of felt the boys can rearrange any way they would like for their little cars. 2 more left to make but after 8 hours of work - I decided to call it a night:) Some of these are REALLY special but hey it's from the heart!
