Christmas Festivities....

Its been a fun month here in the Johnson house...
We LOVE Christmas in this house!!!
We love Christmas Baking, Christmas Sewing, Christmas lights, Christmas Decorating, Christmas Pressies, Christmas Shopping, Christmas Parties, and at the moment.. I LOVE Christmas RESTS!! I've been really tired but slowly able to keep up and pretend i feel 100%.
It was fun to make these little treats for our friends and teachers... They are super cute, super easy... little pudding look a likes...I saw a few pop up around the place over the net and the kids and I had to give em a go.
 (Arnotts Royals Biscuits, White choc melts, Red M&M's and some chopped mint leaves... EASY!)
I had a little time for some Christmas Sewing..... A pressie for Trav's Nan....
 The only thing is... now that its all finished... I wish i was keeping it....
 It's all about the 'GIVING'....Right??!!
 AND this year we snuck out to the Hunter Valley Garden Christmas Lights. Yes, we are all rugged up.... I cant believe we live in Hot Australia and its been 18 Degrees and raining almost everyday....
Most people hope and pray for Snow at Christmas... Well, we would like a little sunshine! Bring back the 38 degree days... PLEASE!!
 I hope you have been able to enjoy this amazing season and are looking forward to the coming days and festivities ahead.
Thank you for being some of my closest and understanding friends. Thank you for all of your well wishes for my coming arrival... and for all of you dying to know what flavour??.... its a Blue one! We're really excited to welcome baby number 4 into our family... Still have a little while to go yet though! Which is good.. I've got lots of Baby Sewing to do.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday and take a little time to remember the birth of our Saviour and what he did for us...
Have a Very Merry Christmas Everyone....
Much love,

    Aww, those wee treats look yummy, I'm sure they were well received. You're all looking fab in the lights too (although 18C is a heat wave here even in the summer ;o) ), hope the sun comes back for you for Christmas! Have a good one :o)

    So glad to hear that you're starting to feel better. I love the quilt too - the colour combo's fantastic - Christmassy enough for this time of year, but not so much that she won't be able to use it all year round.

    What yummy pictures- even the quilt! You made my mouth water. I'm so glad you're feeling better. And your family is the picture of health and happiness. You continue to inspire me with your quilts, young lady. And now my granddaughter wants to learn to sew! It's going to be a great New Year! Merry Christmas. Stay well!
