We as a family have been getting into the Christmas spirit by decorating, creating and sewing! Early last week we had my parents come over for dinner and some decorating of our tree. Charlotte had a blast decorating, Oliver loved playing with the ornaments and all the adults loved watching the kids be kids at Christmas! See if you can find the mittens that were required for decorating the very spiky Christmas tree!
Between the constant snow and the giant tree in our house the kids have been having a great time! They have really used the Christmas tree as the biggest toy. We have let them take select ornaments off and put them on about three times a day, needless to say the tree looks like a toddler and a baby have decorated it!
This is the perfect time of the year to get crafty! One of my bestest of friends came in this past weekend and besides going to a craft show we also did a good bit of chatting and eating, we had a chicken pot pie with her name written all over it!
Charlotte and I have also been busy sewing! She has taken a pretty big interest by sitting on my lap and helps lock my stitches and directs the fabric through the machine. This is what we have been working on the past couple of days... burlap monogrammed stockings for all four of us and two pillows with the left over fabric!
We hope that you are able to get into the holiday spirit by decorating and redecorating, creating and sewing like we have!
