I've got a long list of recipes I want to bake with the kids (on free-days of course) and crafts I want to share with them. I'm preparing an Advent calendar that has been in the works since Mary was born, but I failed to complete before the start of Advent each year. I want this year to be super special. I'm plotting what shape my "bunny bread, " usually made at Easter will be for Christmas, as it won't be bunnies. I wish I could make it for Thanksgiving, but we'll be out of town and away from my mixer which is the only thing that makes homemade bread a possibility for me.
I like to put up my Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving, but it will have to be postponed due to travel and a birthday party this year, but by December 2nd, we'll be twinkling again. I finished a banner for Christmas too.

The banner looks terrific! Beautiful job!
Can't wait to hear more about your holidays traditions at our next scrapbooking rendezvous! I'm always looking to add to our traditions and I'd love to brainstorm and swap ideas with you!
I love the Noel garland, very cute!!! I can't wait for fall to actually get here!
I'd love to get your sugar cookie recipe, Melanie. I have one that I love, but I'm always anxious to compare and find the best one. I'm going to try the color-flow too.
This is my favorite time of year also. We like putting the tree up the day after Thanksgiving as well! I'm super excited b/c this year Colin can enjoy it little more than last year. I love traditions, and just the season as a whole. I can't wait to see your completed Advent calendar! The Christmas Garland looks great!
I'm happy to share my sugar cookie recipe with you. It has a great consistency rolling out and using cookie cutters. I'll e-mail it to you later today.
