Two left thumbs...

That's how I feel when I try to do a craft.
It's not a gift.
I've started gawking on Pinterest.
It's a tease for the un-crafted, but such cool stuff.
This year instead of making cookies for the neighbors, I found this really cute idea...craft (cough, cough), that I thought would be fun to do instead of hours standing in my kitchen.
The craft called for this really cool cut out design.  After an hour of trying to cut it out just like they had it...my Christmas mood was failing horribly...so I went a different way!  Okay, easier way.  I pulled out my Christmas cookie cutters (that I never use, I guess I just feel better knowing that I own them:) and traced a stocking shape.
Much better!
Here it is...

So much to be thankful for...

Are you noticing a reoccurring theme going on here...
How my blogs are about 2-3 weeks behind.
Please reverse your mind back to Thanksgiving...

 The first grade classes at Jett's school had a Thanksgiving feast this year.  Talk about some excited 1st graders...and A LOT of food.  Let me tell ya, put a bunch of moms together and you are going to have some awesome food!

They even dressed up in Pilgrim and Indian outfits for the occasion.  Jett was very proud of his outfit and place mat that he made.  

 This is Jett and one of his best-buddies, MaKenna.

So much to be thankful for...here are just a few.
* That I can stay home with my children and enjoy days like these.
* For my husband that works so hard and loves so much.
* My children. I am so honored to be their mom.
* My savior that loves me unconditionally.
* That I have such awesome and loving family and friends.
* That I can use all my senses.
*MOTTTS
* We have a warm house and a garage so my van doesn't get covered by snow.
* That I have good health.
* That my husband and children are healthy.
* That you are reading this blog!  Thanks:)
