hmm

something weird happened today.

i ran out of storage in google for my blog.
WHAAA? i thought to myself..

but then i looked back

and i realized...

i've been blogging for 2 years now!

WHAAAA?!

thats crazy people! 

if you have time, take a look back at some posts
not to toot my own horn,
but
some of them are pretty cool
or as Kady Heron (lindsay lohan) in mean girls would say..

christmas cheer

.......
hi there.

do ya hate me?
it's been so long.
i'm sawry.

in my defense,
i've been working my butt off at work
&
Dan has been dominating school like a bad ass. classic dan.

this last weekend
was THANKSGIVING!
so we had a 5 day break
to relax,
watch a star wars movie marathon,
watch home alone,
anddddddddddd
decorate for our favorite holiday...

CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

wanna see what my christmas house looks like?
i bet you do...

well just a second.

i want to show you a project i worked on



i took all this stuff (cinnamon, applesauce, glitter, ribbon, cookie cutters) 
and make homemade ornaments.
they smell amazing!



i mixed 2 cups applesauce and 2 cups cinnamon together
then added a TON of glitter.. for some sparkle.


then i rolled it out, just like regular cookie dough


we then picked out our fave holiday shapes 




i had preheated our oven to 170 degrees
and let the ornaments bake for 3 hours

(this will make your house smell fantastic)


while waiting for those to bake,
we decorated!

our banner we found at target

our tiny stockings

frosty


i made these!
2 canvases, painted, and used a paint sharpie


our pre-lit tree with some red beads 
i love our tree topper




we listened to christmas pandora while decorating...
did you know if you put your phone in a glass cup or jar
it magnifies the sound like a speaker?

and this is what the ornaments looked like when they were done!




 Happy Holidays from the Petersons!
