Cooking, Cards and Christmas Craft

The advent calendar is up again this year, I can't quite believe there's less than a week left to go until the big day.  Today's activity was baking ginger bread men with a twist, they had a couple of tablespoons of cocoa in them, yum not that you can tell in the pictures.  The girls have so much fun doing this activity especially the decorating part which they can spend quite a bit of time doing.
That wasn't the only bit of productivity that happened in the house today.  I finally got around to making some Christmas tags after much procrastination, but they are done now.  There's been a bit of wrapping done too and tomorrow I'll do the posting.  I'm not sure the presents will arrive in time but if they don't I suppose Christmas Day will just last that bit longer.
The girls have also been busy creating. Each year they make a Christmas decoration to give to the grandparents.  Today they did some more work on it and the end product will look like this, except with their pretty faces in there of course.
And lastly some Christmas cards.  These are two different styles for family and friends this year, after much internet inspiration..
How are your Christmas plans going? I hope that you are enjoying the lead up to Christmas.

And wanted to say a big thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful words you left for me on my last post, they really meant a lot to me.
