*I am making a list of wrapping supplies I need to purchase before this weekend.
In years past I have used brown paper as my wrapping paper.
I love that!
I think I will be doing the same this year with a little twist.
I am going to let the kids color on the outside of the packages with crayons.
Then I will top everything off with ribbon, bakers twine, doilies, etc.

I want them to be involved and participate in all the Christmas fun this year :)
I found these pictures on Pinterest...
This year I am decorating for Christmas with reds and turquoises.
What colors do you like to decorate with?

*I am googling recipes for pecan pie.
I'm desserts this Thanksgiving.
I've decided on a traditional pumpkin pie and a traditional pecan pie.
I debated going crazy and doing something totally different.
But then I got to thinking... Thanksgiving is only once a year.

I don't ever make pumpkin or pecan pie.
I'll be crazy some other time and stick with what is traditional :)

I'm not big on having weird things for holidays.
I prefer sticking with traditional foods.
What about you? Traditional foods or not?
*I am enjoying browsing through a few blogs.

I'm thinking about wrapping in brown paper this year too. I saw a cute idea on Pinterest to use letter stamps and stamp the names directly on the paper that I think I'll try.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of traditional food at the holidays too. However, on Christmas we do Mexican food since we have the traditional turkey and ham for Thanksgiving.
Hope you're having a great week!
I love the striped pj's too. Im looking for christmas pjs.. its that time of year :)
ReplyDeletePioneer Woman has a DELICIOUS pecan pie recipe, it's called "the pie that'll make you cry" :) Your wrapping sounds lovely!
ReplyDeleteMy kids have both had the footed pj's in a slightly different version (you know how they have the samething just different every year) Love the stripes too!
ReplyDeleteThe pecan pie on the back of the Karo bottle is the best! My mom had made it for years!
I love the pjs for Advent idea!! ;) And I NEVER thought to wrap presents in brown paper...thats so cute! ;) Love you!
ReplyDeleteLove matching pj's! You can get brown packaging paper at the Dollar store and HUGE roll!! Ummmm I love traditional pies :)
ReplyDeleteYour pj choices look adorable! I don't know what it is about Christmas and pajamas...it's the best time of year to get a new pair: for sure. I'm an adult now...and I STILL get new pjs at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWrapping presents in brown paper...I've always seen this, but never done this before. I too have seen this all over Pinterest.
I think I'm going to give that a shot this year :)

I'm making a pumpkin and pecan pie also. I usually just make the pecan from the back of the karo syrup bottle but last year I found a recipe from Martha Stewart that uses a little bit of toffee and its our new favorite. If you go on her website its called "English Toffee Pecan Pie"
ReplyDeleteI'm doing brown paper too!! Love it. Found rolls at the dollar store, too!! Can't beat that!
ReplyDeleteTraditional food all the way!!
