Christmas Love

I am finally putting some pictures up from over the Christmas holidays. It is so hard to pick and choose.

We took our little fashion queen to go see the Christmas parade downtown. It was one of the coldest nights we've had this winter. She had on two layers of clothes and that huge fur coat. She could barely move. A total Christmas Story moment.

She loved the marching bands. If it has anything to do with music, she's game. We also had two new visitors this year. Elfie and Peppermint. The whole Elf On The Shelf craze got a little out of hand, but I like the concept. Plus, the little movie about it had my child enthralled. I think it's the first movie she wanted to watch ten times in a row. At least it was only thirty minutes long.

She wasn't too fond of Old Saint Nick this year.. Or maybe it's the camera she doesn't like anymore. This is the face she usually gives me. Straight deer in headlights.

Opening presents on Christmas Eve. We went ahead and tried it this year my way. Open presents from us on Christmas Eve, and Santa presents on Christmas Day. It just makes sense.

Our tree, our newest ornie, and a snowman that Adrienne fell in love with.

Christmas Eve finger foods before driving around to look at lights. Hot chocolate for the ride? Check.

Getting shots for the Christmas cards. These pictures obvs aren't in chronological order. I tried.

Christmas steak dinner with the fam. My favorite time.

Opening more gifts. Uncle "Buh" and Aunt "May" got her a mini drum-set! And the Rody Pony our friends gave to her! She was so excited about it.

Eye Candy

I really need a sewing machine. Well, I do have my mother's old one in storage. It is a huge Singer that's so loud. I used to hide when Mom would use it. I should dig it out and see if I can brave the sound.

William's mom, Carol, is an excellent crocheter. That's something else I'd love to learn. I've heard that it's so relaxing. She has made our little fashion queen so many things. From her first baby blanket, to hats, to even a pint sized Santa purse. Love. Check out her Etsy shop or her Head Candy Facebook page. Adrienne's Mimi is one talented woman.

I almost wish we had another little baby to put that Valentine's hat and diaper cover on. Almost.

Holiday Gift Guide: Animal Lover

Love how I'm doing the animal lover gift guide right after I made a post about my leather and fur boots. Alanis says something about irony in one of her songs. I'm just sure of it.

Holiday Gift Guide: Kiddie Addition

I've conquered the kids gift list!! I just have to say that I love toys. That's why my child has a bedroom that rivals any toy store in town. If there was a “Pop Up Video” of her room, a bubble would pop up that just simply reads, “really?” So, there's that. And here's the list of the toys I like.
