Merry Christmas To All

Once again I wanted to thank all my sweet bloggy friends. I really have come to love your precious comments and emails. I wish you all a very merry Christmas! I hope it is full of memories. I can't wait to hear all about your holiday. I have had such a good week already. Friday we baked cookies in our PJ's at Nana's house (my mom). I took a few pictures of my little angels, they were so proud of their cookies.
Maddie is such a ham! Every time I took a picture she gave me this same cute lil pose and said cheeeeeese. Molly and Tim love to help in the kitchen. Tim could not stay still for one picture! They all look like this! He is soooooo excited about Christmas, that's all he can talk about! A few days ago I showed him a picture of the train set he is getting for Christmas on the computer. I asked him if that was what he wanted and he said "yes!" I said "You will have to ask Santa." He immediately looked up and said " Jesus, pweese wet me hab dat twain set!" I just squeezed him and said "I think you will get it buddy." I love that baby! \ This is Molly in the children's choir at church this morning.

OK all you sewing mamas here is a close up of Maddie's yoke, I crochet it in white and beige.

This is the crochet insert in Molly's dress. I love this shell design.

And the sleeves, I crochet lace to match the insert. The design is the same shell as Maddie's yoke.

I am going to try to sleep now, I am so excited! Ben will be working at the fire station on Christmas eve, but he will be home at midnight. We will get up Christmas morning, read our babies the Christmas story, then they will run to the living room to see their gifts. At around 10am my brother, my grand parents, and my parents will all come over for Christmas breakfast- I love that!. We will just relax and play with toys for most of the day, then around supper time we will go to Ben's Aunt Crystal's house- I love that too! I feel like a kid again, I love to see my sweet babies get so excited over Christmas.
Have a great Holiday! I love you all!

Samantha,
Merry Christmas a day late. The kids look adorable-whether in PJ's or in one of your one of a kind creations! The crochet adds such a unique touch to the dresses. What about Lily and Iris? Did you make them an outfit also? Is Tim loving his twains? xo

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
