Santa came to visit

I was feeling crafty and made this sign to add to my Christmas decorations. It was a little time consuming, but I had fun creating and love the way it turned out!!

Christmas eve jammies!!

Looks like Santa came! The kids must have been good because the stockings are filled! :)

Family Favorites

For me, the holidays must be filled with lots of yummy traditional comfort foods. There are a few must haves from my childhood like Grandma Isaksen's cinnamon and orange rolls with wassail on Christmas eve. As well as some new ones like Cranberry Salsa for thanksgiving and new years. We can't live without them!
