TodaysMama and Provo Craft are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.
1. What 5 items are on your holiday wish list this year?
- Healthy, happy family
- Much needed down time together
- Peace
- Continued job opportunities
- A little surprise wrapped in pretty paper
- Anything my kids make, I never realized how much that meant until I had my own children. My mom always said, handmade gifts make the best gifts. And when they come from someone you love, she's right!
- There are lots of creative ideas I want to tackle, wish there were more time in the day.
4. What was the best Christmas gift you received as a child?
- Easy Bake Oven
5. What items are on your kid’s wish list this year?
- Dollhouse and Train Table ( Ava is starting to ask for just about every other thing she sees on TV, isn't three too young to buy into marketing?)
6. What is your favorite holiday food?
- Cookies that only get baked this time of year, and as reminded by my mom--my Oma's Dobosh Torte. Miss the cake, miss my Oma even more
.
7. What will you be hand-crafting for the holidays?

- Christmas Story
9. Favorite holiday song?
- Silent Night
10. Favorite holiday pastime?

My easy Bake oven was MY Favorite too. I had the Holly Hobby one did you? Scott, oops I mean Santa, gave me the updated version of the Easy Bake Oven for Christmas a few years ago. I cried, it was such a special gift. Although I have to admit the cakes were much tastier when I was 7 years old. :) But the thought was so very sweet of him
Nate, too, asks for every other thing he sees in TV commercials. My stock answer..."we'll have to ask Santa for it". I feel like a broken record....
miss you very much :-)
nice blog :-D
