Christmas Gear Up!

Well, the finger puppets, headdresses, and trivia went over great! The kids loved them (especially the headdresses)! I don't have any pictures yet but soon to come. It was a big help keeping them a little more calm too. I also printed off a lot of coloring sheets for them. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Pat and I got to attend two! My Mom always has her's on the Saturday after so everyone is not trying to fit in two dinners in one day. That was pretty difficult!

Now that we've got the bird off the table, we are getting ready for Christmas! Pat and I have decided to get a real tree this year. I have never had one before. We always had a fake tree. Pat use to have one when he was little. We are really excited about it! Pat has already found one he thinks will work. He'll go probably next week and cut it down. We are really excited about our first Christmas together! Another way I'm gearing up for the Christmas season is this weekend my sisters are all coming back to Mom's to make Christmas candy! I can already taste Oreo truffles and cream cheese candy! Here are some of the candies I'm going to make this weekend.
Oreo Truffles
Almond Sweets
Mock Toffee
Not sure if I'll try these Sandwich Cookie Pops  or not but they sure do look good!
I'll share all the delicious recipes next time! What are you doing to get ready for Christmas?
