Christmas

We continued our tradition and invited some dear friends over for a Christmas feast, nativity and birthday cake on Christmas Eve. 

 

 

 We started a tradition when Finn was born to give our children an ornament for the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. Then, when they leave home at 18 they will have 18 ornaments for their own Christmas tree.

  

I made this colored pencil ornament for Finn because he loves to draw and he is learning to write. 

Fox loves animals and pretends they are all around us all the time. He loves hippos and rhinoserous especially. So, this ornament that actually makes animal sounds was perfect for him!

 

This wooden heart with Scandinavian art is perfect to represent her namesake.

 

 

 

 

The bean bag chairs I stayed up until 2am making for the boys. 

 

 For Christmas...

Finn received a new and bigger balance bike, a shark balloon drone, arts and crafts area in our kitchen and more.

Fox received a farmhouse and animals, a remote control dog, a monkey coin bank and more.

  

 Sweden recieved a little wooden doll stroller, a cabbage patch doll, pearl earrings, puma shoes, fox teether and a soft corolle doll.

 

 

 

 Ben spoiled me with house cleaning for a year! The kids gave Ben pins for his lapelle. Finn gave him a shark, Fox gave him a fox and Sweden gave him a dala horse.
  


The Wrights had us for Christmas this year and the theme was hands. The kids loved the "We're #1" hands, sticky hands, treats and "Don't Mess With TEXAS" clothes!
