Pinteresting: Felt Christmas Tree

Decided to try making this felt Christmas tree I've seen floating around on Pinterest for awhile. Had fun putting it up and decorating but she hasn't played with it much since, I think maybe we taught her too well not to touch the ornaments on the real tree after decorating.

Christmas Crafts

This month has flown by, can't believe the big day is almost here! We've been so busy with holiday activities (and colds) that I haven't had much time to post. This week we slowed down a bit thanks to another bout with a cold so we had some fun at home making these little Santas with toilet paper rolls today. I'll try to post some of our other Christmas crafts soon, hopefully before the year is over!

Swedish Pepparkakor Cookies Recipe

Been awhile since my last post, but the holiday season has been a whirlwind so far. We've had a few colds and lots of activities but we've had some fun cooking and crafting to get into the spirit of the season too. When it comes to holidays with a three year old I've quickly learned to keep expectations low and to realize it's impossible to do all the the things I want to do. I have to keep reminding myself we still have so many years of this magical childhood time ahead and there will be time to do things next year too.

Last week we made these Swedish Pepparkakor cookies that we're delicious and so much fun to make. Here is a link to the recipe and an article on celebrating the holidays and sharing our Swedish heritage.
