Well, so we don't have any chance of a white Christmas. But inside our house is looking very Christmassy. Here are some of our favorite Christmassy things.
Advent calendars. My girls live each day to put on the magnet. They also have Trader Joe's chocolate advent calendars that they LOVE.
I made this paper-pieced wall hanging this year. It was so much fun and it is definitely one of my favorite decorations now. I got the pattern from paperpanache.com
Can't take the credit for this idea. Last year my friend Chanel showed me how to make a baby Jesus doll. I made one for each of the girls. This year Travis and Veda made a manger.
Our Hawaiian Norfolk Pine Christmas tree. We made the mistake of telling Veda that since it was her year to choose the tree she could pick any one she wanted. We got home with a 14 foot tree!! I love the unique look of these trees. They showcase the ornaments so well.
When my sister Carey was here, she helped me design my mantel. We painted canvases different colors, then tied ribbon on them to make them look like gifts. It was such a fun project.
On the night of a Christmas concert I was playing in, Veda and Eve each got to go to a different Christmas party. Eve went to the ward party with our babysitter and Veda was Daddy's date to his office Christmas party. They each got dressed up pretty and felt SO special!The shoes really make this outfit, don't you think?
Merry Christmas everyone!!

I have been waiting for a post from you. It was so fun so see your house all decorated. I know how much you love Christmas. The Nativity quilt block is amazing! So intricate. We bought Syd a playmobil nativity set and she is loving it. Next year I may do a nativity block for a gift or something? I miss you. Let's talk soon!
That tree is amazing! I've missed your posts. Hope all is well!
Great pics! You did a fantastic job at Christmasizing (?) your house. Miss all of you already. (btw, that was a fun project we worked on - we make a good team!)
Make sure & keep me posted on your Christmas cake pops - - I'm getting my supplies today!) Love you, C
One of my favorite things about Christmas is all the decorations. You did a great job - so clever. Merrit saw your tree and said, "Wow, that's a beautiful tree. Who's is it?" Good choice Veda!
Ohhhh... I want to be there with you guys for Christmas. The girls both look so grown up and beautiful for their parties. Also, that tree is amazing! PS- I got your christmas video this week and it made me miss you guys so much I wanted to cry.

It's such fun seeing your house at Christmas. It looks great--but my favorite part is those darling girls in their Christmas dresses--and their handsome daddy.
Your nativity wallhanging is beautiful, you little quilter you.
I can't stand the pic of Evie posing. I just want to bite her face off. Too cute!
