Julie's Life With Boys

When we were visiting Dan and Michelle at Thanksgiving, Jacob had a star cape that Taylor wanted to wear the whole time. So I decided capes had to be a Christmas gift this year. And yes, I actually sewed them. (Josh bought me a sewing machine last Christmas) The kids are loving the capes. I am so glad because I don't think I love sewing and that took a ton of concerted effort.

Metronome GPS and heart rate monitor P90X & cutest hat from my favorite and cutest friend, Jenni Moody !!!!

We invited a family in our neighborhood over for Christmas Eve. It was fun, but the Christmas program was a little funny! Anybody else stressed??

I love Andes Mint baking chips by the way. I bought 6 packages last time I was at wal-mart (the only place I consistantly find them) I went to a cookie exchange party and I made 13 dozen of these cookies. Too bad I didn't get more pictures. I came home with 13 dozen different cookies and candies. We were going to give them out to friends and neighbors, but we only gave one big bag away and the kids and I ate all 10 dozed of the rest. I gained 7 lbs this month. YIKES!!!!!

First treat of the Christmas season. I bought a few disposable pans and there was a picture of a snowman cake on the packaging. Taylor was convinced there was to be a snowman cake no matter how many times I told him I was putting lasagna in it. Finally I whipped together a cake and some frosting and then left the project to Josh to finish with the boys while I was at Young Women's. This is how it turned out.
