Mallory is 1!!!

So Mallory turned One officially on Sunday November 23rd. We got a package in the mail from Granny B so she got to open that on her actual birthday.



Thanks Granny for the cute outfits!!!

We ended up celebrating her birthday on Thanksgiving night. Was a little crazy on thrusday, but it all worked out ok.
This is her Cupcake Cake


Just playing with my camera


She has a sweet tooth, so she did love her little cupcake I had just for her.

Opening her first Cabbage patch doll

Mason was a big help and unwrapped most of her gifts... this is the vtech train with blocks.. she loves it!!!

She actually did unwrap a few things, but thats only cause brother was preoccupied in the background


I love my glow worm

The vtech train. They did fight over it for a little while, but now they are good about sharing it


Last weekend was spent at my sister Darcy's baking some of our Christmas goodies... didn't get everything made, but did get quite a few things made to give away...

Kringla


Caramels


Turtles

Pretzel things with hugs

Oreo Balls before they were dipped in white almond bark

Pillow puffs before they were filled

Spritz Cookies


Those are a few of the things we made on Saturday.. still have yet to make the sponge candy, sugar cookies, beer nuts, krom kaker, lefsa?, & rosettes?

I love this time of year.. the baking, the lights, the smell of a fresh christmas tree (we don't have one as we don't have the space for one, but my parents and sister do, so I can get my 'fix' there), love the fact that Mason is at a great age to appreciate it all and understand it all a little better, I just love it all. I just wish this 'feeling' was year round and not just the month of December.
