Well another Christmas has come and gone far too quickly. We had a wonderful time celebrating though and I do believe Santa brought everything everyone had been hoping for.
maggie asked for a barbie this year- santa listened and brought a "diamond castle barbie", princess alexa actually... she loves this most special gift and unbeknownst to her, she will be getting the rest of the set for her 6th (!) birthday next week.
lydia also asked that santa bring a barbie and he decided that a disney princess ariel doll would suit little lyddie just fine. it does and she loves her special doll.
jack. jack seemed just a tad overwhelmed by the whole process of christmas morning and the stacks of gifts under the tree. he received a nice little collection of "boy toys"- new stacking blocks, a fire truck, a set of wooden vehicles. he still preferred to play with his sisters' new barbies most of the day...
nana and poppop came down to our house for a yummy breakfast of quiche, monkey bread, and fresh fruit. we all met up at their house that afternoon for christmas dinner- and more treats under their tree for everyone!
And now, some Etsy love. Those who know me well can tell you how much I adore the website Etsy.com. This is an online marketplace for all things handmade, supplies to make your very own handmade things, and vintage items. Right now my current passion is the handmade soaps- oh, so many to choose from and they have an ability to make you feel as if you have really splurged on yourself. They are so much better than what you will find in the soap aisle at Kroger. So much better. Santa filled my stocking with some beautiful new soaps- Peppermint Honey, Cucumber Mint, Sugar, even Hot Cocoa! The kids even got some in their stockings- sweet little gingerbread men. But my favorite Etsy find for the month of December is something else Santa had arranged to put into each of the kids' stockings: they each got a t-shirt with an image on it printed with leaves. Maggie's features bright pink and sparkly purple butterflies, Lydia's has a purple and brown owl, and Jack's is a green shirt with a 4-leaf clover. Lucky little guy!
