Please remember that all packages should be mailed out no later than the 10th of December. But sooner would be better so the person receiving your package can enjoy their goodies this year.  Also this swap is not limited to Christmas items. It can include anything winter related you'd like. Some great items to include could be hand towels, socks, note cards, decorations, your favorite holiday treats, etc...If you have a fun holiday tradition that is easy to share that would be great to include as well.

Also don't forget to send me pictures so I can post them on my blog for all to see the goodies and get great ideas for the future.

Christmas/Holiday Swap

I'm hosting a Christmas/Holiday Swap

How it will work is you leave a comment with your email address and I will start pairing people up together. I will then let you know who you are swapping with and give you their email address , so that you can exchange addresses, etc... All packages will have to be mailed out no later than the 10th of December. But sooner would be better so the person receiving your package can enjoy their goodies this year. 

This swap is not limited to Christmas items.  It can include anything winter related you'd like.  Some great items to include could be hand towels, socks, note cards, decorations, your favorite holiday treats, etc...If you have a fun holiday tradition that is easy to share that would be great to include as well.  If you need some ideas check out the pictures from a Halloween swap I participated in.

If you don't think you can do it, please don't sign up to participate and then not follow through. Let me know if you DON'T receive your package by the 15th of December.

I think a $20.00 limit is about right.

By the way...everyone is welcome on this swap, no need to be a follower, etc...Just please make sure you are going to commit to it.  Invite all your friends and family to join in on this as well. 

Also please take pictures of the packages you receive and I will post them on my blog so everyone can see all the awesome things that were exchanged. 

Halloween 2010

Halloween has come and gone.  Living in CO the weather is crazy and unpredictable with the exception of Halloween.  I'm a native and you can pretty much guarantee that it will snow on Halloween or be bitterly cold.  This year we had the BEST weather!!!  I was able to take Joseph out Trick-or-Treating on Halloween night in flip flops and a sweatshirt!!!

We went to the Trick-or-Treat Street at the rec center and got enough candy to give out on Halloween night and still have some left over. 

 

They had this cute pumpkin patch at the trick or treat street where every family got to pick a pumpkin to take home.  Oliver enjoyed sitting and licking the pumpkins.  I had to laugh cause I saw a few people taking Oliver's picture.  One guy came up and told me I should enter Oliver in a photo contest. Maybe that's what other people were taking his picture for. If you see him win a contest let me know so I can hit up the winner for a share of the money.


Should I be worried that random strangers are taking my child's picture?  Have you ever taken a picture of someone you didn't know? 
 

Joseph took this picture.  I think he did quite well.

We also raked up the leaves in our front yard and had fun jumping in the pile.  Thanks to big winds earlier in the week we had more than our tree's leaves in our yard. 

Jared also set up a spook alley in our basement for the kids.  It seemed to be a big hit.  I found these videos of it on the camera.  They don't really do it justice.
