I think it worked

I received the cutest ornaments today from Bfaddict716! I love them and they will look wonderful on my tree. I will try to figure out how to post a picture.

Still have about 6 or 7 gifts to buy plus stocking stuffers. I have wrapped about half the gifts but I'm still waiting on several packages. I'm not even going to start baking or candy making until the week of Christmas this year.

Everything for all 3 exchanges have been mailed!!! Check that off my list. Time to start wrapping the gifts for my family that are taking over my house!

We ended up with Turkey Ham Dressing Mac n cheese Rice sweet potato casserole pineapple casserole green bean casserole cranberry sauce rolls pumpkin pie and cherry dump cake with vanilla ice cream Punch

I have everything bought!! I just have to package it all and get to the post office. Hope to have it all mailed out by the beginning of next week.

So excited to start shopping!! I already bought my cards!

Pajamas,fuzzy socks,towels and some kind of beauty sets. I have never bought a throw from kohls but now I really want too

Kohls,the exchanges,and Walmart . Macy's and ulta for beauty deals

Usually the weekend before Thanksgiving,but I'm thinking right after Halloween this year. We are living in a state that actually gets a winter for the first time in 15 years and I want to enjoy every minute of it!

We start with one each and then my 3 sons turn it into complete chaos

Finger foods and new pajamas on Christmas Eve. We like to drive around with hot cocoa and look at lights and decorations the week before Christmas. Making homemade candy and cookies starts the 2nd week of December. We start with the holiday movies in November.

A Christmas story, Elf, Christmas with the kranks and I love all the Hallmark holiday movies.

Shopping is done with the exception of a few stocking stuffers. Shipped all my packages out but still waiting on a few to arrive. Old navy lost a large order I put in so fingers are crossed that the replacement will make it here in time for Christmas. Just a few things left to wrap. I made Oreo balls yesterday and will continue baking/ candy making throughout the week.

This year I'm making Oreo balls,orange balls,buckeyes, and puppy chow for the candy tray. Cookies will be oatmeal, peanut butter blossoms,snicker doodles and probably a chocolate mint.

I love the mug!!

Received a super cute 2017 Macy's bear ornament today!! Thank you so much to my partner! Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

I received the most wonderful package today from my secret santa!!! Everything was perfect! I received 2 church cookbooks to add to my collection,an amazing smelling orange and clove candle, delicious old fashioned toffee and a Starbucks gift card!!!! Thank you so much! You really picked the perfect gifts and completely made my day!

Our main tree Is a mix of ornaments collected over the years. I do have a 4ft tree that I put in my dining room that is themed. This year it is candy land. In years past the tree has been decorated in gingerbread men, dr suess, red apples and red and white striped bows, snowmen and leopard print which my husband was not at all fond of lol.

Took an hour and 3 attempts but I was finally able to check out!

I do a mix of wrapping and gift bags. I'm an awful wrapper though. I just don't have the patience so my packages tend to look a bit like Pinterest fails. I can make some cute gift bags though

I just got a new scentsy wax called Homestead Holidays and it smells wonderful!!

We put ours up last weekend. We had to buy a new one and we wanted to make sure it was working the way it should

When I go out shopping with DH we go to Cracker Barrel or Ihop for breakfast. If I'm with my friends it's Starbucks and donuts!

Sams, aafes and ulta
