Wow, we made it! Christmas was SO MUCH FUN! Mary Katherine will be 3 ... T-H-R-E-E ... in 28 days which I absolutely cannot believe. Needless to say she was fired up about Christmas. Christmas Eve consisted of roasting marshmallows and weenies in the fireplace, then baking cookies for Santa. I love doing fun 'kid' things! Once she was fast asleep - and I woke up from my cat nap in the rocking chair at 10:00 - I proceeded to BEGIN wrapping presents. That's right, not
one present wrapped before 10pm on Christmas Eve!! Christmas morning was of course fun. Santa left MK a note telling her what a good girl she'd been (via updates from Sadie Elf) and she was mesmerized that 'Santa ate all the cookies'. Here she is with Old Saint Nick.
One of the literal ZILLION gifts she received was this tractor that drives, talks, and sings. She's a farm girly girl - meaning she owns more shoes than I do, big hair bows are a must, and sitting at the vanity to dry, brush, and curl her hair is a daily regimen; but she's a farm girl at heart. Wearing water boots, checking on cows and driving the tractor are probably some of her favorite things to do! Check out the driver of the tractor!
Back to the birthday thing. I have a summer birthday so never experienced celebrating barely a month after Christmas. Not fair to the Christmas people! Everyone is still 'hung over' from all the Christmas shopping or just 'saves' a would-be Christmas gift for a birthday present. So, I always make an extra effort to keep her birthday separate and speacial. One last shot - LOVE
Applique Cafe's Zig Zag Tiara - only three quick steps!! Notice MK is holding three fingers, she's practicing!!!
Excited about 2011, but enjoying my mini sewing vacation. I guess I'll officially be back on duty over the weekend or beginning of next week. Happy New Year everyone!!
