Hi every body!!
Today I want to show you that I HAVE done some christmas decorating too… but just a little bit.. for advent.
Today we lit the second candle…
Even though last weekend was busy, I still got out my advent stars…. and the christmas curtains for my kitchen .. this is what it looked like before. (even before I got my windows cleaned… oops)
And this is what it looked like after I had washed and hung the curtains , the star and the tree.
You like??
Look at the star and the tree in the window up close…
and this is the one I made ( that I have shown you before) but now in a better photo…
And today me and my kids finally did get around to do some baking..
this is the before picture of the gingerbread cookies… and take a look at these after the kids had decorated them… aren’t they christmasy??
Yum!!!
here are some close ups too…
wouldn’t you just love to take a bite?? Did you notice that some of them were a little bigger?? and with their names on them?? I usually hang these in the window during christmas.. for decor… and Lexi is this little girl
She was trying to hide, so that I wouldn’t send her away from the kitchen ;-) haha.
And last but not least I made some other cookies too… from coconut (?)
They are yummy!!
Well.. that’s it for now!! Wish I could’ve invited you all over for a taste and a coffee!! :-)
Have a great day everyone!!

Monica-
Love the decorations and the cookies! Your children are so cute! Lexi is darling too. Don't you love when the dog gets in the kitchen hoping for a scrap or two to fall from the counter.
We talked about the significance of the advent wreath and the colors of the candles in my CCD (Catholic Sunday school) class. My students shared how they lit their advent candles on Sunday evenings.
Thanks for the great photos :-)
looks so beautiful! and yummy! I can't pick a favorite...I love it all!
The decorations are all beautiful Monica. And the gingerbread cookies are amazing! Your kids did a wonderful job on them!
By the way...The word coconut is right. I bet they tasted really good.
Have a great week,

Oooh yummy! I love the star in the window.
Monica, I love your Christmas decorations. Your kids are adorable. And those gingerbread cookies do look yummy. I think they are too pretty to eat. Please.. put holes in the top of each one and string them with ribbon. Then, mail them to Iowa! I want to hang them on my Christmas tree. lol
