I've had it on my "to-do" list to get C a Baby's First Christmas ornament before they are all out of stock. I went to the Crown Shop today and chose this sweet little ornament (ceramic booties) for him. The lady there suggested buying a silver pen to write his name and birthdate on the bottom of them, so I did that. I also bought these real Christmas booties for him to wear--I thought they were so cute--I couldn't resist!
I'm actually not ready to rush the Christmas season at all. I'm still enjoying fall. I made autumn trail mix a few days ago, a recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks ever, pictured below (Gooseberry Patch). I changed the recipe a little bit. My trail mix included Cheerios, goldfish, pretzels, candy corn and fall-colored m&ms. My friend Heather found Halloween marshmallows, which I would like to include if I make this again (we've already eaten the first batch...well, I ate most of it. Somehow the m&ms didn't seem as unhealthy when they were mixed with multgrain Cheerios.)

I'm so glad you said something about the ornaments selling out...I hadn't even thought that far ahead. I will get on that right away! :)

Those Christmas booties are so cute! I bought some caramel marshmallows at Target the other day and I am dying to use them in something. I just can't decide what! Your mix looked good!
All my kids are going to be here for Thanksgiving! And Dawson and Coco too! Can't wait!
