Show and Tell-What I have been doing all of December

I had a busy month and don't really know what I did with it. Luckily, I took some pictures to remind myself!

I spent an entire Saturday making Christmas Cards for the family (there's a lot of them). I saw the idea on a box of cards at TJ Maxx and knew I could easily duplicate it. Best part-I already had all of the supplies.
I put this wall hanging together too. How much fun is this? The entire nativity with cute animals. There are 24 pieces-so next year I am going to figure out some sort of countdown thing to build the nativity-scripture, story, I'm not sure.

Each figure is held on with ribbon looped around a button. So cute!

How do you live

without the internet? It's hard. But I was very productive for the past week completing Christmas projects. I can't show you yet, but the big day is right around the corner!

Scratch n' Sniff-Dinner in a Pumpkin

How fun is this?

My mom made this for dinner one night when we were in Idaho. I don't know the exact recipe, but this is basically what's in it.

Hamburger-cooked

Rice-cooked

Water Chestnuts

Cream of Mushroom/Chicken Soup

Green Peppers

Celery

Onion

Mix all together and put it in the hollowed pumpkin then cook in the oven with the lid on.

When you eat it, scoop out the pumpkin. So delicious and fall-y.

We went on vacation

and it took me a week to recover.

It was worth it. We spent Thanksgiving week in Idaho with my family. Let me tell you how wonderful it was to 1) see a mountain, 2) see a pine tree, 3) see snow, 4) see two of my sisters and their families, and 5) have my parents take care of me for a few days. It was also wonderful to see Paul's parents who came to Twin for a few days and to stop and visit Paul's brother and his family while traveling.

And would you believe that I took only six pictures the whole time we were gone?

This is one of the pictures taken on the way out of town. It snowed about 10 inches while we were there. I love the snow. So pretty and clean!

Now on to December and everything wonderful that comes with it! Christmas, lights, trees, decorations, music, and food!
