My new craft, sewing, recipe blog

If you don't know me, I love to sew, craft, and cook. I do not want to post everything that I make on my family blog so I started a new blog where I will post all my latest creations. I bookmark and pin soo many things that never get completed so I am hoping this new blog helps me complete more projects. Maybe inspire other people out there in blog land!

You can stop by my new blog at Making Things for Boo, Cat, and Bam. I have only posted a few things so far, but I have been enjoying it and love having my own spot to put my projects.

Christmas 2011 Part 3

I have always bought my girls Christmas dresses. I decided to make them this year. I made my two nieces matching dresses too. I love how they turned out. The girls like them!

Christmas 2011 Part 2

On Christmas day, we went to the station and ate dinner with Ben. The crew made a yummy dinner for us. The girls had a blast playing at the station. Caemlyn loved talking to anyone who would listen and then they were her new best friend. It was nice to see Ben and he did not get one call while we were there (which is a miracle and a first). Ben's Dad followed Brooklyn around and it was a nice break for me!

Christmas 2011 Part 1

Christmas is my most favorite holiday. I love November and December, because I can play Christmas music and watch all the Christmas shows. As it gets closer to Christmas, the girls and I drive around every night Ben is working and look at Christmas lights. We drink lots of hot chocolate and junk.

Santa came to our house a day early since Ben worked Christmas day. One of the things we bought the girls is a tub of 1600 legos. Santa's elves stayed up very late making towers for them to see when they woke up. We turned our coffee table into a lego table and the girls like it. Our kids loved everything that they got and have been very busy playing with everything new. Ben's Dad was able to come spend the holiday with us and the girls are loving the time they are spending with him.

We bought a real tree this year and I LOVE it. We will never have a fake one again. Brooklyn experienced the tree falling on her and burying her alive. She is a bit scared of the tree after that. We were able to decorate the tree again since all the ornaments fell off. I wish I got a picture or video of it happening. It was really funny.

Addison's winter concert

Addison sang a couple of Christmas songs in her winter concert this year. We watched the performance during school and in the evening. She was very cute and sang very well!

Caemlyn's ballet recital

We signed Caemlyn up for ballet class this year and she loves it. They had a recital at the zoo during the zoo lights (Christmas lights all over). She keeps telling me "Everyone thought I was amazing, right?". She did awesome and then she did not want to get off the stage afterward. We could not see her on the stage in the front so we decided to go up high and watch from behind. I did record it, but you can only see the backside of her!

Getting ready to perform!

She would not get off the stage when she was done

The family!

We were glad that Ray and Jana were able to come. Ray just got back from Iraq and we love seeing him!!
