It's the Magical Time of the Year

I love Christmas time. Sometimes it seems like all we do is go go go but we create great memories and have so much fun. 


Kinley's Snowman Pancakes


Date night to get some Christmas shopping done 
One of the busiest times of the year for Dusty's work is December, so it is nice to get a date with him once in awhile

At Thanksgiving Point we went and saw the reindeers and ice carving

Kinley had dance pictures

50 Things in 2013

So I am not into New Years Resolutions, but as this new year rolled around I started thinking about things that I want to do this year. Some are serious, some are fun, and some are just because. I wanted to do 50 Things in 2013. I don't quite have all 50 but they are a work in progress. If you have any ideas, please pass them my way. I am not concerned if I don't finish them all but I thought it would be fun to keep track, and who knows maybe I will come up with more than 50.

Who knew I could be Crafty?

Last week Kitani and I set out to do a project. We went to the Quilted Bear and Roberts. We found what we were looking for and started to work. I was a little nervous, I had never really made anything. I painted, used Mod Podge, and a Glue Gun. Wow, I am impressed. It turned out really cute and will go great in the living room. I am doing a red, white and black theme.


The Finished Product
Now, I just need to figure out how to hang it. I have thought ribbon maybe, but do any of you have suggestions?
