a star on top

happy saturday! we are enjoying our free day playing our wii and crocheting some handmade gifts. i love this season, but who doesn't?!? i think we will make a countdown to christmas chain today as well. the days are few:). i am so looking forward to our holidays, which will be spent with family in a snowy utah. i am so excited to see snow again. it almost doesn't feel like christmas without it being white and fridged cold out. until i can have my white christmas i am spending my days trying to make my house feel festive and enjoying the san diego weather.

i thought i would share the little double sided star i made to top our tree and some of the presents i wrapped the other night.

tonight we have a church christmas party, where penelope will have her first encounter with mr. clause. i am excited to see her reaction.
