Well it is certainly looking a lot like Christmas here in Utah. When we woke up this morning to go to the gym there wasn't any snow on the ground. When we got home from the gym, this is what our yard looked like:
Last Sunday we made gingerbread houses with Josh's family. I have only made one gingerbread house like this before and it was when I was like 5. It was fun to spend time with the family and be creative together. Josh made sure our house was indestructible.
Look at all these women! We are so thrilled to be having a nephew any day!!!! We need some testosterone around here!
The finished Project:
We also got our tree this week! I LOVE getting our Christmas tree every year.
My darling friend Tiffany came over to help me decorate it. I love Tiff. We have known each other since we were three. She is one of two people I know who is the same size I am.
This year I wanted to make my tree a little more exciting to look at than it has been the past couple of years. I decided to glitter some of my ornaments. To glitter your ornaments all you have to do is:
- use a foam brush to apply Elmers glue to half of your ornament (you can also use a spray adhesive)
- while glue is still wet sprinkle a fine powder glitter on the wet side (I love Martha Stweart glitter. You can get it at Michael's.)
- let that side dry, it only takes a few minutes, and apply glue and glitter to the other side of your ornament.
Don't you just love the gentle glow of Christmas tree lights? I think they are so enchanting.

Beautiful tree! And I just can't believe you would glitter an ornament... you never glitter anything!!!
Oh and I forgot to mention the darling new short hair! I love it! I wore my hair like that for years when you were little. And also, I think Josh has enough testosterone for the whole family!

I love your cute hair! And your tree is beautifl! I love it! It's funny how the weather is so different from city to city... there's no snow in Orem. It flurried a bit today but other than that, it's just stinking cold!
LOVE the hair! I want to see more pics of it. And I also LOVE your sparkly ornaments. You've inspired me!
Hey Courtney! Love your idea on glittering your ornaments and love the fact you would share how to get the Look. I have soooo enjoyed your pictures and comments on how you and your family are doing. You two have a very Merry Christmas and I hope that we might be able to see you over the holidays. Brittany is now in your parents ward, and I do make it out to see them and I'm taking cooking classes from your Mom. Nice to see you so happy, I miss you. ~ Billie

Ha ha judy called you Lindsay!
So, just for the record, I really do know your name...
Did you ever hear about the time I "guest" taught YW and accidentally called Lindsey "Courtney"? She gave me some serious stink eye. I told someone about it (can't remember who now!) and they said, "well if someone had called you by your arch enemy's name you would have looked at them like that too!!" lol. It was funny.
Cute gingerbread house and cute tree!
Love the tree! So festive. What I wanna know is, did Bonnie make all the gingerbread beforehand? Or did you use kits or what? I ask because the houses look like the pattern that my mom used to make when we were kids.
I love the tree.
