Gingerbread Goodies

As promised, here is my post of all the Gingerbread Goodies I got for my birthday!


After dinner last night, Brian and I went grocery shopping without the kids! (Now thats what I call a DATE, lol!) We were walking out of the store and my eye wandering to the Hoosier Lotto ticket machine and what did I see? Gingerbread Lotto Tickets!!! I told him that I felt lucky seeing those and they were too cute to pass up:) He rolled his eyes at me and gave me $4.00 to buy to of them. We got into the truck and I said, "Oh my gosh, they are scratch and sniff too!" Another rolling of the eyes came from him!
Will I be a winner?

Not a winner! BUMMER! They were mighty cute though:)

My BFF Valerie got me the Sex in the City DVD and a Martini ornament to go with;
cute and fun!

My friend Wendy got me a Gingerbread towel set and 2 silicone baking pans! Aren't they adorable? Also a set of craft punches for when I scrapbook!

Close up of Mr. Cute Gingerbread! My mom suggested making a plaster of paris mold with this one and painting it; that would be too cute!!
I think I am going to try it after the holidays are over!

Here are 2 ornaments I got; the one on the left is from Valerie and its a mommy, daddy and 2 kiddo gingerbreads! Amie got me the frame ornament on the right and put a photo of her and I in it. SWEET!

Amie also got me a pretty sparkley sweater that I have been wanting, a towel set with a gingey cookie cutter and recipe on it! And an adorable plate and candle shade:) Thanks sis!

My mom got me this blown glass gingerbread house on a cupcake ornament!

Cute cupcake stickers!

This gingerbread man sings "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" and the marshmallows in the mug pop up and sing too!!!

I love this red ceramic gingerbread basket!!
She also got me 2 gingey ornaments.

And I got another sweet towel set; the little ginger-girl is a pot holder/oven mitt!!

Lastly, my dear friend Holly that I met on her through blogging and a mutual love (or obsession, lol) for gingerbread, sent me a birthday card yesterday and put these sweet gingerbread stickers inside!!
THANKS HOLLY!!

Well, we have a busy night ahead of us! We celebrate Christmas with our boys on Christmas Eve morning, so tonite we need to bake our cookies for Santa and clean up our toys so Santa will visit us tonite! Tomorrow evening we are off to my moms for dinner and more gift-giving. Then on Christmas Day, we celebrate with Brian's family in the morning!! The holidays are very busy for us!
