Christmas Mantel
So this is my completed mantel. At long last it is finished and decorated for the holidays. If you remember my post here about building this. It has been quite awhile. I wanted to link up with the Nester and her holiday house tour. I have more to share about this project and another huge undertaking in the new year! Have a great day!

Little Ghosties
My computer has been on the fritz so I am posting these late.
These are the Halloween decorations I decided to make for the front of our house. I got the inspiration from Family Fun Magazine. The little minis loved them. The older minis wanted something more frightening but I don't think we are there yet. I do not want my little ones to be scared of Halloween and we have plenty of time to be scary. Maybe next year....

Does the Great Pumpkin Come to Visit Your House?
We have a Halloween tradition at our house where our children get to pick out 10 -15 pieces of their halloween loot to save and we put the rest in a big bowl to be placed out the back door. Overnight the Great Pumpkin comes and replaces the candy with a small toy, gift card or money.
What does the Great Pumpkin do with said candy? Well, the chocolate pieces are hidden away until the holiday baking (m+m cookies, etc.) begins and the hard candy-ish pieces are stored to give out as treats almost all year long.
We started this tradition when my older minis were babies and now they are almost in the double digits (cannot believe that) and so far we have been quite successful. I only hope it lasts as we continue into the tween years!
