Christmas Day

I spent many hours this year making Christmas bags, which ended up being SO WORTH IT!!!  I have never fully enjoyed wrapping and have found it tedious and a lot of effort for little reward, so this bag idea was very inspired!  We can reuse them every year and I won't have to stress out on Christmas Eve anymore :)  I also made some stockings and a huge Santa bag, so Santa doesn't have to wrap either (thoughtful, I know).  The kids all loved their pajama pants I made for Christmas Eve, and kept me up most of that night until we were "FINALLY" able to get everyone awake and ready to open presents.  I have this little problem with buying too many things and it got really bad this year when the kids also bought a lot of presents with their own hard-earned money.  I will try to tone it down from now on, but for this Christmas, my kids were spoiled and had a great time!

 Nate has been needing a new blanket for a long time, and when I took him to the fabric store to help me choose his fabric (he is super picky because it has to be soft and cold) he surprised me with this crazy bright green athletic fabric!!  I think he liked the blanket- it reminds him of his gym clothes:)

 

Leanne had some "Domination Nation" tee-shirts made for our family and they inspire us to flex our muscles (even those of us that don't have any!).
