Winter Break......Finally!

TWO DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! Here's what has been happening in the Sadler household!

 

Ryan received his Varsity Letter at the Football Awards Night.  The team also gave me a

gift for taking photos over the past four years.

I received a gift certificate to a local photographer.....to take OUR pictures!

 

 

My friend, Carolyn's daughter turned SIX!  She was having a Taylor Swift birthday party and Carolyn asked if I could make a special shirt to match the party theme.

This is what I came up with.  It started as just a plain white t-shirt.

 

Reilly LOVED it! Soooo Cute!!

 

I've been making some "fun" cookies for the holidays

Here are my "Nutter Butter" Reindeer cookies:

 

 

A white fudge dipped Oreo Snowman Cookies:

 

For the student gifts this year - I made these snowman Hershey bar wrappers:

(the larger snowman are pencils for the children with allergies)

 

 

I also made each student a pictures bookmark/ruler:

 

 

This year Ryan's ornament is a "drivers license".  He received his driver's license back in March.  Keeping with tradition, he receives an ornament that memorializes an accomplishment or

interest he had during the previous year.

 

Also, keeping with tradition, I wrapped and stored gifts at my brother's house.  These gifts are only gifts for school, friends, Mom, Dad, Brothers and their families.

THESE GIFTS DO NOT INCLUDE RYAN'S, BILL'S OR MY GIFTS

(those gifts are located in a separate location!)

BIG NEWS - My parents FINALLY closed on their new house two days ago! Movers come TOMORROW - YES CHRISTMAS EVE!  We've been there all weekend moving the smaller items and organizing the kitchen, hooking up the computer, cleaning. etc....... Bill's been painting..... Here's a sneak peek.....more pictures to follow!
