Christmas Jammies

Winter Raccoon Jammies

 

I found the fabric for these at Joann's on black Friday and a friend of mine helped me sew them (of course I waited until a few days before Christmas, but we made it!) 

 

I think they turned out pretty well. 

Especially when you put them on the most adorable family that ever did exist!

That Christmas Card that could have been...

Cute, card worthy pictures of my four kids...  Plus a few goofy ones, cause kids are kids.  December 2013 ages 9, 7, 3, 1

This isn't even all of them, but the sequence of these pictures tells a story in of itself.

 

 

 

I am oh so BLESSED!

 

Christmas Nativity Blocks

Else spent a lot of time playing with these wood blocks with nativity stickers on them that my sister Anna made for us.  She would stack them on the steps and move them up a step and down a step, climb up a step herself... it kept her very occupied.  Everyday I would gather them all back up and arrange them again for her to notice and play with.  And she always did.

Oh the concentration involved...

Look at that cute little rump...

She came pretty close to falling some days though.

Let it Snow

This past winter we actually got some snow and it was kind enough to come while Grammie and Papa were visiting in early December 2013.  The kiddos had fun building an upside down snowman and the big boys were kind enough to pull a thrilled little Ben around on the sled.  Elsa was mostly just curious about all the excitement but not to sure about the cold.

Tilly checking out the snowman's face.  She had her eye on that carrot.

Oh Christmas Tree

Elsa sure had an eye for our Christmas Tree (2013).  I had fun shooting these pictures of her fascination with the Christmas ornaments and lights.  I'm just loving the glow off those chubby cheeks. 

My sweet little Christmas angel full of curiosity.
