Christmas Recap 2020

 

Christmas with just us. 

They first saw what Santa left them by the fire and then the very first thing the want to do is have ME unwrap the presents they bought for ME!   Here are the random treasures they bought for me at the thrift store. I love them.  I'm so impressed with what they purchased at our one twenty minute visit to the thrift shop.

And here are some treasures they found for their dad

Adrian bought this for Audra.

Audra picked this out for Adrian.

Adrian bought this for Anna-Kate. Such thoughtful thrifted finds! 

After they had given all their gifts, then they started opening theirs.  FIrst the treasures mailed to us (thank you!).

And last were the ones from us.  Four gifts for each kid: Want, Wear, Make and Read. Anna-Kate loved her doll that I made her.

Adrian was thrilled with his erector set from the 1950s.

And his homemade vest.

Audra was over the moon with her homemade dress, bonnet and boots.

Adrian's loot.

Audra's loot.

Anna-Kate's loot.

Small, just us, but they were happy.  And now they will have hours of play with their fort kit from Santa.  Thankful to be together and healthy. 

Zippy

Is he living his best life or what?  For the record, I made that skirt he's sporting.

 

Only Audra.  And Always Audra. 

Ocean

Summers at the beach are fine, but winter at the beach is pretty fine too.  Thankful to live here.

Snow

 We loved loved loved our foot and a half of snow (give or take). We were sledding, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, snowman making up until Christmas Eve. Then the Christmas rain and warm temps melted it all. We're back to being cold again, with no snow. Blah.  Cannot wait until our next round of snow. 

Merry Christmas 2020

 Merry Christmas from my crazy home to yours! Kids are all supporting mama mades-girls have dresses, Adrian is wearing a coat, vest and hat made by me. I ordered pictures, and they still sit here unmailed.  

Anna-Kate perfectly illustrates 2020, lol. Merry Christmas! 

Mama Made Christmas Pajamas 2020

 

We're cozy in our mama made flannels, full bellies, beautiful cookies, watching Rudolph, waiting for online Christmas Eve church and ready for tomorrow. Merry Christmas! 

Santa's cookies

 My husband told the kids that Santa loves Whoopie pies.  We made some. Don't they look pretty on my mom's platter?  Only now they are gone, my husband ate most of them.  No worries, he has more suggestions for the kids about Santa's favorites...
