Merry Christmas!

This post is a smorgasbord of Christmas randomness.  Just feeling it tonight.

I made a lot of Christmas gifts this year, but my all time favorite was one for Harper.  We keep Christmas pretty low key at our house.  We do the 3 gifts for each kid and then stockings with little stuffers like chapstick, fun socks and a few other little goodies.  We keep a limit of about $50 per kid, so of course, I love a good deal.  I knew that I wanted to get Harper a doll bed for one of her gifts, so I started checking out some antique places for a cute old one that I could fix up.

I ended up finding one just down the road from our house at Mrs Annabelle’s Antiques.  I love this store and Mrs Annabelle herself is just the sweetest.  She actually lives right down the road from my dad, so he picked the bed up for us…just $5.  My dad added a board to make it a little sturdier and white washed it for me…THANKS Dad so much!

It is seriously so stinkin’ cute.  I covered a little foam for the base of the bed, made a little pillow and also made a little quilt.  I have a feeling I am going to have one happy little girl in the morning.

It turns out that a slinky at our house has absolutely no chance of making it to see another day.  The boys are no good for a slinky.

Finished shopping this week with 2 cute little helpers…they totally rocked Target in all it’s holiday madness.

Somebody, AKA our “Kroger Fairy” has blessed us every month of 2010 with a Kroger gift card.  I cannot say enough about what this meant to our family this year.  We are beyond grateful, so THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Kroger Fairy.  Another giveaway will be coming soon and of course, those sweet stamps will be put to use.

This was our best wrapped gift this year…no way Jack new what it was 🙂  Those are pretty cute toes.

Hands down, this is my new favorite picture of the boys.  They shared some orange juice at my dad’s Christmas this morning…too, too sweet.

I picked a few new fabric this week…totally loving these.

The boys have worn this Matchbox garage out…Thanks Dad and Judye.

And I love these kids!

Truly thankful beyond words for Jesus and God who sent that baby to save the world.  Merry Christmas!
