Holiday Pictures

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.
