I love Christmas time, and I think the main reason is that I love getting those perfect gifts for those I am in charge of. To start this holiday post I will post a picture of the gingerbread house that Carson and I made at my family Christmas party at Elisa's. It was a lot of fun :)
Coming from a family of 11 we are put in charge of a single sibling, so this year I was in charge of Elisa and her family. This past summer, Elisa made a doll house for her girls, so I decided to go with that. I made an oven, dresser and telescope out of polymers clay and three bean bags for the dolls. Along with the furniture I got princess kelly dolls for three of them, for her youngest I just got a soft monkey stuffed animal, as she is only 10 months old. For Elisa I made her an apron and a cookie mix, and Wes was probably the simplest, but not the easiest to decide, I got him a movie.
Then of course is the gift for my parents. Most of my Christmas gifts were homemade this year, due to being poor college students, but even when that changes I am not sure the homemade gifts will, I just enjoy it so much. For my mom and dad I made jackets.
My mothers was a deep purple fleece jacket, and my dad (modeled by Carson) a heather grey sweatshirt fleece. I think they turned out really good, and my moms tailored jacket fit her perfectly, with the exception of too long of sleeves.
The other gifts I did not make because they happened to be electronics, movies and such. But I got many things that I love, most of all is the Singer Serger that Carson got for me. Man do I love him.

NICE! Every dollhouse needs a telescope :). Elisa's apron is DARLING! Love it. Yeah, I hear you on making gifts... heck it was when I wasn't a poor student that I started doing it (more time) and I hope I get to keep it up. Though I did pull some super late nights/early mornings again to do it, but it was sooo worth it. Kudos and keep it up!
We love what you gave us!!! Jackie had to sleep with her dolly everynight for about a week. I love my apron. I feel so cute when I'm cooking and the cookies turned out great! Thanks again! Love ya
