Wreath/ Garland makeover

Ok, so I have had this garland for few years and it had worked well in the past since I guess I used to just wrap it around the stair railings and I didn't need a dense looking garland for that anyways. But with each passing year it seemed like the garland was loosing weight.
This year however, I wanted to hang the garland in a different way and it looked just blah.. it wasn't as dense I would have wanted it to be. So started adding Christmas ornaments and just see the difference, it already is looking more fuller.

Gingerbread House Decorating Playdate

We had a gingerbread decorating playdate this past weekend and the girls were so creative. Its always fun to decorate houses with friends. There was lot of chatting and giggling and also ofcourse eating lot of candies while decorating too. They were all high on sugar by the end. But I think they did get to burn little bit of it, since till the decorated house was getting dry, they played hide and seek and they did run quiet a bit.

 Above was one of the decorated houses.

To make the decorating easier and less messier, I pre-assembled the houses using Graham crackers, so that the kids can get straight to decorating.
