I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and a Happy New Year! Well, our Christmas Eve party turned out really nice.
My cupcake stands worked really well. To give them some height I taped them to inverted mixing bowls.
My grandsons surprised me with these plates they decorated. They were just what I needed to display the extra cupcakes.
Caden enjoyed the cupcakes…or should I say the icing. Kids, they always go for the icing first!
The giant candy decorations I filled with treats and trinkets were a success. It was fun watching the kids tear them open…wish I took pictures.
Santa made an appearance at the party too. He’s a friend of the family who visits several houses every Christmas Eve. What do you think of his suit? I made it for him a few years ago…that was a challenge but as you can see, it was well worth it.
Last minute Christmas decoration
My husband, Lou, said we needed “something” on the wall above our sofa to complete our family room decorations. I loved the Christmas card my daughter sent with the kids all dressed up for the holidays, so I asked her for the originals. I found the ones I liked best and had this 16 X 20 poster made online at Wallmart.com. I was able to pick it up at our local store that very day too! My daughter staged and took these pictures herself in their home…didn’t she do a great job! LOVE THEM.
My kids gave me an iPad for Christmas! I made the mistake of downloading this Bingo Bash game. It’s so addictive, I can’t stop playing it!! :) My daughters and I have been playing Words With Friends (it’s like Scrabble) that’s a lot of fun too. Our kids also gave my husband and I a Wii and some games. For New Years Eve my husband and I stayed in and played Wii games…we’re getting really good at bowling! It was so much fun and we didn’t have a hangover the next morning.
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Now I have to take down all the decorations…ugh!!!!
