a lazy christmas
This has been one of the best Christmas breaks ever. No shoots for a week! My house is actually clean, and have been able to spend some good quality time with the kiddos. Ginger bread houses, lots and lots of treats, skiing, parties, sleepovers and naps! Hope everyone had a great Christmas as well.
we got the cutest santa ever to come to our Christmas parties.
The kids made these adorable wreaths.
We always make the kids run through wrapping paper to get to their presents.
got these fun American girl doll organizers from ebay. Changed the pink knobs out with anthropologie knobs that the kids picked out.
Dan and I stayed up until 4:00am turning this barbie doll house into an American girl doll house. It turned out so cute! You can get a similar doll house on costco.com still. Just took the middle walls out and made our own. Used scrap wallpaper. Then made it a little taller. The girls love it!
sleep overs with their cousin. (not much sleep)
more cute persnickety clothes.

First, your photographs are beautiful. Second, your Barbie house makeover is amazing! Great job! Slightly off topic – the fabrics in the window seat are great.

Your photo’s are so amazing. I have been looking for a while now and this is my first comment.
My daughter saw your girls American Girl house and said, “I want that!” I would love to know how you modified your house to make it work for American Girls. My husband is thinking he may try and do something similar for her birthday

Cute cute cute!!!

( Jan 3rd, 2011 5:58 am)I had to do the flowers for the kids of course, but they wrapped it all by themselves and loved it.
