The Stockings Were Hung....

Yes, all of our Christmas decorations are up! I absolutely love the Christmas season. I mean, what's not to love? The smells, the baking, the shopping, the tree, the anticipation of the day... I could go on and on. Well, I have done a little bit of baking and a little bit of sewing. While going through all of my Christmas decorations I could not for the life of me find the stockings... Seriously so annoying. Well instead of buying more, I decided to take the opportunity to make some. I am in love. Seriously. I went with my sister in law, Vivian, and Darren's step mom, Julie to pick out the fabric and I had to get to work right away because I was so excited about seeing the finished product. So here they are in all their glory.....

Cute, right?

Darren's is on the far left and then Beckham's, Brinley's, Presley's and mine.

I love baking during the Christmas season. I usually stick with my favorite recipes, but this year I decided I was going to be brave and attempt some new ones. I must say so far I have found a couple of really good recipes.. I made Caramel Soaked Pumpkin Cupcakes.. Really rich, but oh so good. You can find the recipe here. This is what mine looked like... Not as cute I know, but just as yummy.

Then I attempted cake pops for Thanksgiving... Not as easy as they look. Again, they don't look as cute but still yummy.

There are a ton of different ideas for these here. I am going to try some for Christmas. Hopefully now that I have done it once, it will come easier next time. Hopefully, they turn out a little cuter.. But still super fun!! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
