homemade christmas treats

Tis the season! This weekend I made a few christmas treats.

Fruit mince pies... I used a star-shaped wire napkin holder to cut out the stars!
We then rolled out the left over pastry with a rolling pin  to make a second batch :)

Rum balls using my grandmas recipe ;)



Eggnog!!! I have always wanted to try this and now I finally have! Verdict? Delicious!
I used a recipe for one found here and skipped step 3 to serve it cool :)

Lots of giggles tonight and just wanted to share a few :)

1.  I Love Lucy's Job switching (chocolate factory) and Vitameatavegamin

2. This adorable "I love you" morning jump

3. The 15 greatest Google autocomplete fails

4. HelloGiggles - Hilarious articles like The indirect 'Come look at this' or No gifts please. Yeah right.

christmas time

This is a particularly special christmas for me as it is my first christmas living out of home! 
Here is a picture of me with our little christmas tree after setting it up last night :)

We had lots of fun christmas decorating and listening to christmas songs



Our baby Christmas trees 1st christmas in the new home.
They had sold out of the larger ones but when we got it home it looks so adorable we couldn't imagine any other!
