Last year for our town’s Christmas parade, we put LED Christmas lights on Trent’s stroller and he was the talk of the town.

Ok, maybe not the entire town, but so many people told us how awesome it was and asked how we did it. It was so simple…we just bought a few strings of battery-powered LED Christmas lights and wrapped them around the stroller, using velcro strips as needed.

This year, we put those lights back on the stroller, but this time, we added something more…light-up reindeer antlers!

These WOW! Antlers were intended to be used on a vehicle, but they were great on Trent’s stroller instead! After all, isn’t a stroller just a baby’s vehicle anyway?

Included in the package are two antlers that have little LED lights scattered on them that actually light up and a peppermint button, intended to be the nose!

We decorated the stroller for a local Victorian Christmas festival and we had so many people pointing and saying “Look at the stroller!” and telling us how awesome it was. These were so much fun and definitely added to the festiveness of his stroller.

About WOW! Antlers:

The Christmas season is often coined as the “Season of Lights”, and WOW! Antlers is the perfect product to festively decorate any vehicle with holiday lights! Yes, our Car Reindeer Antlers actually LIGHT UP (equipped with bright white LEDs). Family fun and enjoyment for all ages! Installation in 10 seconds…..Easy as 1-2-3!!! This year, take the Christmas spirit with you everywhere your car goes…

Here’s another JibJab video we made (here’s our Thanksgiving one)…this time for Christmas.

Please place your opinions of real-life twerking aside and enjoy this family video of us. I’m sorry, but as soon as we saw it available, it had to be done. I mean, it’s us as cartoon elves twerking. And Santa makes an appearance. That HAS to be worth some comedic entertainment value. What’s Christmas without a twerking video?

So tell me: Who has the best twerking skills? Is it the dog with his paintbrush twerking? Or Trent because c’mon, it’s a twerking baby?!

With just 17 days until Christmas, we’re getting down to the wire folks. Have you started shopping for gifts yet? Are you already done because you started in July and are now laughing at all the last minute procrastinators? Are your Christmas cards mailed? Decorations covering every inch of your house?

I guess I’m a halfway-procrastinator…our Christmas cards are ordered, but not mailed; the house is decorated, but there’s a few things that still need to go up; we’ve bought a few things for Trent, but no one else.

So, if you’re like me and are still looking for some ideas and want to get them all in one spot, try Minted.com!

We are the world’s premiere marketplace for crowd-sourced independent design and art. Artists and aspiring designers from around the world have their work featured on Minted. We believe in providing the best service to our customers and uphold that ideal by using only the finest materials and products. Minted is dedicated to the celebration of life’s most important events - whether birthdays, weddings, or reunions - we’re there every step of your life’s journey.

Here are some ideas if you need inspiration.

At Minted.com,the stars of the show are the variety of holiday and Christmas cards and party invitations (anyone want to invite me to their New Year’s Eve party or Dirty Santa party?).

They offer a variety of formats and you can even change the color theme on most of them.

For all the parents of fur babies out there, they even have pet holiday cards…how funny is this?

If you’re planning a party, you can get party decor all centered around a theme…like this gold and silver theme, so you can throw a Pinterest-worthy party.

As far as gifts go, they offer beautiful stationary for her, him and even kids too. I found this one particularly simple and cute.

For your photography or Instagram-loving friend (or yourself!), they have photo gifts too.

One of the cutest things that caught my eye was this shark door sign for a kid’s room!

Right now, they are offering 15% off and free shipping through Monday with code SLED15FS. But after that, you can check the website for their next promotion!

I must first start our little quick recap of Thanksgiving with a JibJab video Brett made of us (may take a few seconds to load).

We started the day with breakfast casserole and ended with a delicious meal with family. Trent was absolutely amazing…I am so proud of him…he sat in a booster seat, ate most of his plate of turkey, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes and had fun playing with his cousins and the kitty of the house. It surely was a day to be thankful for and I hope your holiday was also spectacular.

Mmmm Brett’s sweet potatoes are always a hit. We had almost none leftover to bring home

My sweet little reluctant model.

The fried turkey was successfully cooked without burning down the house.

Kitties like turkey, too!

Time for dessert!

The rest of the weekend was spent putting up Christmas decorations - Brett did the entire outside of the house himself! It looks amazing and I will try to share some photos of everything next week or so. We’ll be in Walt Disney World this weekend, so we have some preparations to complete before then. It’s supposed to be in the 80′s there! Love it.
