Home Sweet Home For Christmas

Hello my beloved blogosphere, oh how I've missed you! It's been two weeks since I last chronicled the Team Anders' happenings but it feels like a month! Lots has happened here so let me catch you all up... As I mentioned in my sugar-laced post  from the 18th, the Team has uprooted ourselves from Reading and moved to Hanscom AFB. We enlisted the help of our absolutely wonderful friends to help us move on Friday the 23rd and, after my mom's helpful but WAY too short visit, I'm happy to report that the Team is settled! Both Jace and I feel a little bit more like we actually have a home here now. The space is amazing and we're both so excited to have a yard for the little guy ( and girl )! Here's our new pad...Take note of the incredibly festive decorations on our front porch. Those, my friends, are "Santa Bullets" These things are so dang cute they needed their own close up. Vintage Tomlinson family decorations that I hijacked years ago :...

It Isn't Christmas Until You Swap Some Cookies!

Hello hello!! I think I'm still riding the sugar high of yesterday's cookie swap at Brent & Lisa Olson's house. It was the perfect Christmas get together. Just check out all the yummy goodness from yesterday's swap! I brought Chocolate Candy Cane cookies . These are the cookies I brought. They started like this... and then I added the homemade buttercream frosting and rolled them in crushed candy canes and got this!! p.s. I added mini chocolate chips to the frosting ;) I've never seen so many sugar cookies in my entire life! From top left clockwise: Dani, Lisa (our hostess), Christie Emily, Serenity, someone's random head and Erin :) One of about 15 trays of decorated cookies There were some very talented ladies at this party... I was not one of them... I did manage to get frosting in my hair after decorating only two cookies though. Yep, that's Jace in the background...get it, kid! Crystal's masterpiece....
