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!
