Christmas Sewing Outfits.

The Boys got new pants, just everyday church pants. I did put a welt pocket in the back, which was a pain in the neck, since I couldn't understand the directions. Burda patterns are advanced.


I finished Adryann's dress in the wee hours of the night, We call this dress the "Christmas Tree". It was nice for Christmas sunday. Although Adryann liked her coat most of all, and wanted to keep it on all day.
Evalily's coat is Adryann's old one, she likes it because it is pink.




Such sweet kids, rather spoiled at times though. I sure love them alot.

Christmas Gingerbread Houses

This is the beginning of a long sweet night. I try to make smaller houses, so the roofs dont cave in and such. Now each kid gets their own house to decorate.


I also thought it was a good idea to work in our new kitchen nook, but it wasn't as I had to climb over the kids to squeeze back into their corners, to assist with the frosting glue.










The kids enjoyed combining all the houses on one board and making it look like a small village, usually the houses were on seperate boards. I did learn a few useful things in Iowa. Every winter the members made gingerbread houses for the displays at Winter Quarters and Kanesville Tabernacle. Of course our houses are so plain compared to the ones at the display. It was so nice.
