I think I'm going to try making some plaques like these. It looks like all I need is some wood, scrapbook paper, mod podge, and homemade stencils (from Microsoft word). Cute huh? I saw them here.
I made this today (from Our Best Bites) and I loved it! It is so light and fresh and quite healthy. I used whole wheat pasta and a little less olive oil to make it even healthier. Oh, and I added sauteed mushrooms. Delish!
I made all of these faux canvas prints last week, instead of buying them already made. I am pretty happy with them. The black and white one on the top right is just a filler. I have one more 8x10 to make for that spot.
I swear they look straight on my wall, but in the picture they look a little wacky.
Nate's mom brought this little hula ensemble back from Hawaii. I had Paige put it on today and she was acting the part, as you can tell. (And Kate couldn't wait to try it on.)
Here is a video of Paige on Christmas morning. The first few seconds is her talking about Jesus being born, but I'm not sure if you can understand it.
On Christmas Eve my sister-in-law and I took Paige and her cousin to see Tangled. I'm not usually into animated movies, but I loved this one. It was really cute and well done. It was Paige's first movie theater experience and she loved it.
We hung out at Nate's sister's house most of the weekend, which is only about 10 minutes away. It was a fun weekend with lots of food and fun games. We all played "Just Dance" on the Wii, which was hilarious. And we also played a really fun game called "Telestrations." I would highly recommend it.
Nate's parents told stories to the kids, and Santa even showed up, which was pretty exciting for Paige. I don't have any good pictures though. :(
Kate got this cute, snuggly outfit from Nate's mom.
