Now on to GINGERBREAD TRAINS and TREATS for SANTA!!!


We had so much fun with the Gingerbread Train.  Last year he has a house, so this year we tried out the train.

James Clark picked out all of the things he wanted on Santa's cookie plate which included our favorite Trash, the iced sugar cookies that James Clark cut and decorated and our Rice Krispie Treats with sprinkles.  Oh and Santa got some milk too!!!!

It's CHRISTmas COOKIE time!!!


James Clark and I had so much fun making cookies this year for all of our Christmas packages.  We made packages for our neighbors and packages for Mama's neighbors and we even got them delivered before Christmas Eve, AMAZING!  We baked for days, Sugar Cookies with Icing, Ginger Cookies, Rice Krispie Treats with Sprinkles, Marshmallow Fudge and of course our personal favorite Trash.  


Then we had to take a little break to paint some more Christmas trees and play in the hammock.


More goodies, slowly it is getting there.  One piece at a time.  Trash, check, Sugar Cookies, check, Ginger Cookies, check, Rice Krispie Treats first batch, check.


Here are all of the treats lined up and ready to package.  Time for a break with trains!!!  

Then we got to package them all up.  James Clark was so funny handing me each individual thing to add to the bags.   Then all of our yummy treats all packaged.  All that is left are the labels.



How cute are these labels.  I used the same template that I made for James Clark's painted trees and then wrote notes to our neighbors and taped them to all of the bags.  


We enjoyed making them probably as much as everybody enjoyed eating them.  It was so nice to catch of with everybody!!  

While we were delivering packages James Clark got to play soccer, baseball, soccer basketball with the bushes and he got to jump on a trampoline.  Here is the great shot that our neighbor took of James Clark on the trampoline.  Just look at that great hair full of electricity.  It matches his perfectly!!!

Making more Trees/ Holiday Crafts Columbia, SC

James Clark has been making more trees.  We found more things around the house to decorate with.  My boy is so smart and he is learning to reuse and recycle which makes my heart happy.  We have reused the sausage tray (washed of course) for our paint tray, old paper for our trees and Granddaddy's blue tops from his insulin for the dots.






Taking a short break on the hammock!
