Let's Bake and Decorate...

One of my favorite things about the holidays is all the cookies we get to eat! We have had our fair share of baking in the house as well as sampling of the goods. We had to make sure everything turned out of course!

We also put up a second tree in the basement this year.  It was one we already had and since our collection of home made ornaments is multiplying exponentially  I figured this little tree would be a perfect place for them all. For the top I put on a Santa hat we already had and the kids made a garland out of drinking straws and glitter circles. This tree is my favorite and will be great for all the ornaments in years to come!
