Our hollydays have been very exciting....yours?

Not so happy with Santa...

Christmas cards display...

...inspired by the always so creative Martha, this is our Christmas cards display this year...see yous?

This is more like it...

...I much rather have this one than the other picture for our Chirstmas cards....

...so this year for our little neighbourhood Christmas presents, I decided to try something I saw somewhere (I check so many different blogs everyday that it's hard to remember where did I get the ide from, but oh well...all the credit to her, or him, or whatever...). Very easy: chocolate cover twizzlers.

...my production ensemble...Instructions: melt chocolate, dip twizzler, decorate (I used simple sprinkles and crush candy cane)

....a close up...

...just wrapped them in plastic...

... and I attached copies of our Christmas card...Pretty fast and pretty easy!...

♥♥♥I LOVE CHRISTMAS!♥♥♥

And Mike wanted THIS to be our Christmas picture....

right....

What is wrong with this picture?....EVERYTHING (well, mainly me...)
*First,The Hunchback of Notre-Dame has nothing on me....
*Second, look at mi right hand...no need to say more
*Third, Mike's hair bothers me
*and Fourth, Mr. D looks like 12, and I don't like that.
So yep, we are not going to be using this one, sorry...I know you wanted to receive one, huh?

Oh Christmas tree....

....so here it is...in all its glory....I thought having a Christmas tree with Mr.D around this year was going to be a challenge ......and IT IS ....keep reading...

...same ornaments as last year...I was too excited to put it up and didn't want to change the colors, but I will...maybe next year I will do a turquoise Christmas tree?...just wait...:)

...that little silver bell is very special...we gave them away as party favors at our wedding reception in Spain....almost 5 years ago...wow.

...I'm working on decorating the rest of the house...still on the hunt for a good wreath for the door...for now, that one will do...oh and are you ready to see in reality how my Christmas tree looks like????

.. tadaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!..... ugly and bare from half way down.
Mr. D is obsessed. Crazy about the tree. Crazy about anything that hangs from it. He loves to pull and the other day he pulled so hard that I caught the tree as it was going down. Yep...so this might be it. Christmas tree+ Mr. D=ugly tree. Oh well.

this is how our thanksgiving morning looked like...

...loving today...happy Thanksgiving!

...Mr. D's little cake...I used this mold , remember? and decorated it with store bought frosting and a very basic set of tips...not too bad for a first time, huh?

...we also had some "mustaches" for the wall that I set up with the fans that I used for Mr. D's little photoshoot so people could take their picture...

...basic set of pompoms attached to strings...

...the wall+decorated water bottles...

...the whole room had this strings with pictures of Mr. D's first year of life...

...and finally, family and friends pictures!....

Mr. D loved to play with the frosting but he never even tried the cake...boo:)

...it was a fun night with family and friends...I just wish I would have had more time to prepare better, but oh well...we did celebrate my Mr. D's best year!

happy b-day Mr. D!

Almost ready...

...for my Mr. D's big day!...

...and I can't believe that he's going to be one...

...oh and also I can't believe that he thinks he can lift that big ol' pumpkin!

Fun fans tutorial and my little Mr. D's. photoshoot for his b-day invitations!

I'm in love with him, with the fans, with his shirt with his expression...I could not love this picture more... I'm working in this wall for the house and I decided that it would be the perfect spot to take the picture of my Mr. D in his b-day shirt for his birthday invitations...

...so took his chair and got in action!...he even did the finger showing how old he is going to be in a couple of weeks!

...And here it is, the tutorial:First, you only need two scrapbook pages of exactly the same size and a glue gun...

...you fold both pages like an accordion...

...fold them in the middle and put a little drop of glue...

...then you glue the top...

after you have both little fans ready, you just glue the tops again...

left and right and tadaaaaaaaaaaaa......ready!
