Now that the first week of January has passed, the holidays seem like a distant memory! However, I purposely took several pictures with the intention of doing a personal holiday-in-review post, since it also seems unfortunately easy to forget favorite gifts of the season. So, here are some photos from our family’s Christmas in 2012!
- I actually had a chance to spend some time dressing some of my dolls up in their holiday finery!
- Nursing Alaina while she nurses her Breast Milk Baby doll!
- New clubhouse for the kids! (this was their 2012 solstice goal and we got it done just in time!)
- Plenty of room for a punching bag in the clubhouse!
- Zander lost his first (natural) tooth during Christmas Eve dinner!
- Best. Present. Ever! My aunt gave Alaina a purse full of tiny purses–each purse had something in it like a necklace or a bracelet or a little item and she worked so hard unzipping everything and putting on her adornments!
- Feeling very pleased with a great ebay, antique find from my sister! (photobombed by Creeper hat)
- Knock, knock. A little elf is visiting her grandparents!
- My new sculpture found a home outside the front door.
- Magic expanding socks from my aunt!
- Felt lunch made by my mom!
- Awesome felt food by my mom for Alaina.
- The boys sitting on their new twist scooters and sporting Creeper hats made by my mom and zombie sock monkeys made by her friend.
- Lovely new chalice for my altar (hand thrown by my mom, the potter)
- My sister in law made this sweet unicorn for Alaina.
- Custom ordered birthstone pendant by Home Baby Crafts.
- I gave myself a sweet new “Medicine Healer” ring 🙂
- Ah, my husband is such a good present buyer 🙂 (I got a Kitchen Aid too, but didn’t take a picture of it)
- Books! Why, yes, please!
- More books!
- Outfitted with new skirt, new gloves, new necklace, and rockin twist scooter.
- Conked out on Christmas night!

Did the boys make the clubhouse with help? Is it a prefab building with some of their own additions? I’m curious as I want to have an insulated studio in the backyard and this looks doable to me.
It is a prefab building–pulled in with a little forklift thing!
