HeartFELT Christmas

Since we put up our Christmas tree, Mila has been fairly good 

about not touching those tempting shiny ornaments. 

But after seeing this idea in the blogosphere,
Mommy had to make it for her.  

The felt Christmas tree and ornaments were so simple 

and cheap to make, and she loves it!

Mommy bought a yard or so of the green for the tree and
we picked out a few colored sheets of felt to make the ornaments.
It took less than an hour to cut it all out.

We attached it to the wall with push pins. 

Now Mila can play with "her ornaments" all she wants!

Birthday Pops

This week Mila and Mommy made Daddy a special birthday treat...

 We unwrapped Andes mint chocolates

and melted them in a pan...

 ...then we slid Oreos onto lollipop sticks

and dipped them in the melted chocolates...

...and decorated them with sprinkles!

 We spread green glitter all over a styrofoam cone 

to make it look like a Christmas tree

and stuck in the Oreo pops.  

Mila insisted Daddy try them as soon

as he came home from work.

He loved them!  

Happy Birthday, Daddy!!!
