Cooper’s cake was super easy to make, but we got so many compliments on how cute it was. It was a four layer cake, frosted with blue frosting out of a store bought container.

Ice Cream Cone Christmas Trees For Toddlers

I saw this adorable idea on pinterest posted by the Hungry Housewife using ice cream cones and turning them into Christmas trees. My son loved this project and they turned out so cute! These are much easier than gingerbread houses and the kids will have just as much fun.

Spouses Christmas Countdown

This year I wanted to make something extra special for my husband and found this cute idea for a Christmas countdown. The cards took a little extra time to make, but I think it is totally worth it. I used my 12X12 Christmas paper stacks, buttons, ribbon, clothes pins, glue, and a paper cutter.
