Christmas!! Just a bit late....
So blogger uploaded all the pictures backwards so I'm going to go through our Christmas backwards. Here's Emily Grace in her wagon with all her loot. Krizy looks like she about to be run over. I got Doug binoculars for Christmas. He was so excited till he realized looking out our apartment window with them might make him seem a bit like a peeking-tom. So he's waiting till we go up to my parents again where the neighbors are a bit farther apart. Btw, binoculars might seem like kinda a random gift, but he's been wanting a set to use when hunting for awhile now. Emily Grace and I went over to Bass Pro Shop and got a lesson in them. I thought it was a pretty simple gift, until I found out how much goes into choosing a pair.
Emily opening her bead thinga ma jig. I still don't know what those are called but Emily loves it. My traditional Barbie doll. Doug has gotten me a Barbie every Christmas we've been together. He ended up geting me two the first year because in my excitement I opened the first one and he wanted me to have one still in the box. Santa brought Emily a big wagon. She loves it when her Daddy pulls her around outside in it instead of being in the stroller. Daddy also loads it up with stuffed animals and gives them and Emily Grace rides around the apartment. Our stocking from the left : Alica, Emily Grace, Doug and mine. I made all of them. I lined mine and Doug's when I made them last year so they turned out kinda stiff and boot like. Alica's is very floppy that I made this year. And Emily's is my favorite. Made from a glittery pink cotton ( so much easier then the velvet stretch I made the others from ) with ribbon and lace at the top. And it didn't come out shaped like a boot. That might also be because my mom was over and cut out the fabric for me, but I sewed it together and put on all the lace and ribbon. I also made the rag doll you can see in it. And our Christmas tree with all the presents under it. Oh and Krizy's bum. Merry late Christmas everyone!!!!
