Sweaters and Numbers

So, with Christmas Day getting closer and all the shopping done, I have still managed to stay busy. Late Tuesday night, Tim said he needed an "Ugly Christmas Sweater" for school on Thursday. OK! So yesterday, instead of cleaning my house for guests, I was out searching for a sweater. I found not only one, but two, and some tacky things to sew on it! Then, my Mom and I spent the evening sewing the stuff on. Here is the end result!

(Tim and friend Mik. The sweaters had working lights on the front!)

(And the back. There was some small presents underneath the trees, but they fell off at school)

I also have been working on a new way to countdown to Christmas. A couple of years ago, I cut some trees out of red and green paper and wrote numbers on them. This year, I saw an idea on the morning news-I actually get to watch the news now-that involved glass, ball ornaments. I found some plastic ones the other day on sale, so with some fake snow, vinyl, and ribbon, this is what we now have to countdown to Christmas! I LOVE it!!


And what's up with this picture from this morning? I will tell you tomorrow along with a fun video :)
