Gift Tags & Coffee Cake for Christmas

December 22nd, 2011. Posted in General.

The past few days have been crazy since I was stupid enough to wait until the last minute to finish my shopping. Also I shouldn’t have waited until tonight to wrap all of the presents in the same day. While I was at it, I thought I’d do something different this year with gift tags to make it more fun.

I found a good picture of each family member and printed them out. So we cut them out and taped them on each present. I didn’t need to put who it was from since we used the same wrapping paper for all of our presents.

My dad…isn’t he handsome?!

and my gorgeous mom & sister!

I cut up more tags so my parents can use them too with their presents. I can’t wait to spend time with the family! I wish Tyler’s family wasn’t so far away so we could celebrate with them too. We live only 4 miles away from my parents so we’ll be celebrating with them Christmas Eve then go home when we’re ready to go bed. Christmas morning we will immediately go back to my parents’ house in our pajamas. So much easier than packing up our stuff and besides our bed is way better than my old bed.

My mom has asked me to make grandma’s coffee cake this year and I’m so nervous that I’m going to mess it up. I’m probably going to be texting my friend from work who is the perfect wife who cooks and bakes everything. I’m hoping mine will turn out better than my mom’s last year. This will be perfect to make with my new KitchenAid stand mixer that I got for my birthday! I’ll keep you all posted and hopefully I’ll be back with good news.

I hope you all have a wonderful break and Merry Christmas!! xo!

    The tags look great.
    I’m sure you’ll do a great job with the cake. A KitchenAid mixer always helps (and it’s pretty!)
    Merry Christmas!
