Gift Wrapping

You'll notice that all the presents match the tree theme and color and are wrapped with care :)

Guess who wrapped and who wasn't allowed :)

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Every home ought to have 3 Christmas trees :) A music themed tree for the formal living room,

a snowman tree for the dining room,

and a teddy bear tree for the upstairs family room! (actually, I really love them and all the lights and Christmas decor Floyd puts up :)

5th Monday FHE

For our 5th Monday Family Home Evening, we had a cake decorating contest with a Disney theme, complete with judges. (Although, I'm still not sure who won :) The Cooleys were in charge this time and we all had a lot of fun. The Cooley family all helped to make the tea pot and cups above.

Anita and Adri chose "The Nightmare Before Christmas" for their cake.

I frosted this "Belle" cake from "The Beauty and the Beast". I had an "in" with the baker who made the cake and brought the doll figure home :)

Felicia and family had to leave Monday morning so they couldn't be here for the activity. This is their entry. (If you don't know who Randall is, you'll have to ask someone:)

Ben and Carrie participated via Skype. I don't have a picture of their entry---hope they blog it---It was great!

Here's the judges, Sue, Marilyn, Frank and Donna.

Matt joined the family for this Family Home Evening!
