This is one of my favorite pictures from Christmas, it just makes me laugh. Boston received the mustaches as part of our white elephant gift exchange. I love my family bunches & bunches.
So much of my past few weeks has been such a whirl wind... much catching up is needed. More coming soon!! (I promise!)
Welcome blog hop readers! I am really excited about an upcoming Big Picture Class that I am part of. It is titled 12 Days of Christmas and I can't wait for the first day of class.
Today I'm sharing with you a few gift ideas put together by our ADORNit Team. 'Tis the season for gifts and that includes your neighbors, teachers, friends, and co-workers! There’s nothing merrier than giving gifts to those you love.
Scroll through our gift ideas – they’ll give you the creative jumpstart you need to get the job done! Some are very simple, some more elaborate, but each gift will say a warm Merry Christmas because of your personal touch. For quick and easy embellishments, we love our Adornit Cardstock Stickers – be sure to try Merry and Bright Cardstock Stickers and Christmas Cheer Cardstock Stickers (at $2.00 per sheet, they’re a great choice).

How Class Works:
For the 12 days leading up to Christmas, you will receive an email from a BPC teacher with a photo prompt and a list of supplies to gather. Preparing specific holiday pictures and products as Christmas approaches will help you focus on the present moments and the joyful anticipation in a more thoughtful way—without feeling any pressure to scrapbook right away! Then, starting on December 25th, you'll get to "open" a new handout each day, designed to guide and inspire you in pulling together pictures and products to complete a dozen different layouts.
At the end of this workshop you'll have created 12 special memories with your family AND you'll have 12 finished pages. Rather than rushing through the holidays this year, give yourself the gift of happy memories documented in a delightfully doable way!
We have welcomed Christmas with open arms this year. The kids are so excited which makes me excited. This past Sunday Boston told everyone he saw that we were going home to decorate our tree. I couldn't let him down so I pulled out the decor and we took care of business.
We had a really fun Thanksgiving together as a family in South Jordan with our extended McMullin family, almost everyone was there. But we just couldn't get enough of each other because my Mom decided she wanted to cook a Thanksgiving dinner at her house a few days later. Here are some shots around the dinner table before my Dad carved the Turkey.
Hello? Is anyone still reading my blog? I'm sorry I have been such a horrible blogger the past several months. I cannot believe how quickly time passes. I will make sure I do better!!
A few weeks ago I talked to the kids about being Thankful and a quick lesson about the reasons we celebrate Thanksgiving. After I traced the boys' hands and then had them turn them into turkeys by coloring them. I grabbed my Fall themed scrapbooking supplies and we scrapbooked their hand prints and listed things they were Thankful for. I love the way they turned out and I think this should be a new Tradition in our family.
We had such a fun Halloween this year. We kicked off the holiday by attending our annual Hall Halloween Party at my inlaws. Each of us are required to dress up. We eat a spooky dinner cooked by my creative MIL and then we played some fun games.
The two older boys dressed up as NINJAS. They of course loved the swords that came with their costumes. Every picture I snapped of them they had to pose.
Little Wilson was a bumble bee. I dressed up as the Queen Bee.
And Eric dressed up as his Father, it was pretty much hilarious. We love how he even put the bluetooth in the same ear.
What a fun holiday!
My little Wilson is Two Months old! We are all having so much fun having him in our home. He has started smiling more frequently and we all see how often we can sneak a smile out of him. He loves bath time and his activity chair. I took him to his check up a few days ago and he weighed 12 pounds. His older brothers adore him. They rush into the bedroom each morning to see if he's awake. Yesterday while I was cleaning the house I noticed how calm the baby was being. When I peeked around the corner I found Daxton had pulled out the baby toys and was entertaining WIlson. Moments like those are precious.
I snapped these pictures a few nights ago while we were getting ready for bed. Wilson was being so happy and kept smiling so I grabbed the camera to catch a few smiles.
New things are always happening at the ADORNit headquarters and this week we launched a new company blog. Head on over to www.adornitblog.com to stay up on the recent happenings at ADORNit headquarters, new products, inspiring DIY projects, guest designers, videos, store spotlights and much more.
I know most of us don't even want to say the word Christmas, but like it or not this holiday is right around the corner! I am really excited about a new workshop, 12 Days of Christmas over at Big Picture. I am one of twelve teachers that will help you celebrate and scrapbook Christmas.

Doesn't that sound wonderful? At the end of this workshop you'll have created 12 special memories with your family AND you'll have 12 finished pages. I hope you'll join me and my friends at BPC.
