After a week of snowfall I decided to play along and throw a Christmas party as promised. Once the kids were off to school we draped the sconces with twinkling lights, baked cookies, wrapped dollar store gifts and baked a ham. The school kids were so excited when they came home to fresh cookies(rare) and gifts, even 10 year old Sabra. Though she did beg me to call it something other than a Christmas party.
“Please mom! Just say it’s a regular party. This is creepy!”
The girl acts like she is normal or something. Maybe I should post her “boogie dance” clip.
A neat gift for kids of all ages? A crochet hook. Keeps them occupied for hours as they crochet miles of useless chain.
Violet is dressed up in eden’s bouquet Josephine Set.
How fun, your such a ‘cool’ mom!
You sound like a very Special Mom. Love you sharing about your kids.
I love it! Thanks for sharing!!
You are one AWESOME mother:) LOVE it!!!!

you rock!
that green velvet chair? are you kidding me? how gorgeous is that?
What a great idea!! I love that green chair too. O want one for my little girl.. 🙂
What a fun thing to do. Would love to see Sabra’s clip 🙂
haha.. that’s too funny 🙂
I love the ruffles on the skirt!!!
It looks beautiful there, even with the chill in the air!
jen….those miles of useless chains will soon end up being leg warmers for babies, headbands and pretty flowers for headbands, dishcloths (you can actually use), scarves, hats, and a host of other useful things….our 8 year old tova has created all these so far and gifts them to various rellys. she is NOT like her mom, who does NONE of these……very cute post. thanks for sharing. janine
What fun! What kind of cookies are those?

Can I be your kid? I promise you’ll hardly notice me and I do help with the dishes!;) Where did you find the amazing green velvet chair? It’s perfect for portraits!
Ooooh, the Josephine. I drool over the miles of ruffles and want one for my Josephine Marie. Someday it will be mine!! Violet is a darling and I adore the little throne where she sits too!
This idea….AWESOME. You are too stinkin creative/fun!
If I had a little girl or was a little girl….I WOULD WANT THAT Josephine Set Violet is wearing!
[…] went “all out” and bought Hazel a lollipop for Christmas. Violet gave lessons on the proper licking […]
love your great photos.
that little green chair is perfection!
You are so funny. I agree with Sabra, calling it a Christmas party, is a bit creepy..;) btw my kids have been into finger knitting, I have many chains laying around my house too. They put them to good use though, lots of leashes for their stuff animals..
