MORE SEWING

Our girls love to play Dress Up but, Maddie is getting too big

for the dress ups that we have. So I've been making more,

in a bigger size. Abbie was excited for the purple one.(Notice - Abbie's new hair cut she got over Chirstmas break)

15 months

Emmie is sooooooo busy SERIOUSLY!!!

She goes from one thing to the next all day long.

She learned to do this,

AND THIS,

AND PLAY WITH THIS

She is the cutest little monster.

A Problem and a Solution

The problem - a totally cute shirt (bummer it's sleeveless)

score it has a sweater. But Maddie thinks the sweater is a jacket and likes to take it off.

Solution (hopefully) - add the sweater sleeves to the shirt and then make it a dress.

So it was my first attempt at this kind of thing.

The dress isn't long enough but with leggings it might work.

Let me know what you think.

Christmas Day!

The long awaited day finally came with tons of Surprises!

We had a great Christmas this year

and the girls were very excited about their gifts.

The Nativity

This year Emmie was too big to be baby Jesus.

So we made her the Angel - Abbie was Mary - Maddie was Joseph -

and of course Shem was the donkey.

Acting out The Nativity Scene is one of my kids

FAVORITE parts of Christmas.

Sledding on Shem's Birthday

This is how Shem decided to spend the day on his birthday.

We took the girls sledding,

with some friends on Christmas Eve.

It was really cold but really fun.

Shem had to prove that he's not getting old.

Happy Birthday Babe - Hope it was a great one - WE LOVE YOU!

Maddies School Play

Maddie just did her first play and YES she loved it.

She got to be the narrator because she knows how to read.

It was very exciting for her. They told a story about toys

going on a train ride and they sang tons of Christmas songs.
