So either I'm WAY obsessed with my kids or I really like toys.....ok it is both. I finally finished my Ryker and Millie dolls. I'm in wuv with them. When I was done I was so excited and wanted to show someone....Shaun being the only other adult in the house was the lucky winner and he didn't share the same excitement. He just looked at me and said "You made my son a DOLL" then covered his face and sighed. It didn't burst my bubble.....I just said "Yup, and I don't care what you think....he will love it".
Ok so Ryker may not LOVE it but I'm always making things for Amelia, so it is more of a keepsake....or Amelia can just play with it. Of course mine are not as cute as the original...but I'm pleased none the less.
I got the pattern from this web site wee wonderfuls
Ok moving on to more important things. For FHE we talked with the kids about "giving" this holiday season and how their are many kids who don't have much for Christmas. Ryker has saved some money over the past few months...earning a dollar here and there. We were so proud of him for wanting to use some of his money to buy another boy a toy. We went down to the mall and Ryker looked at the tags until he found a little boy that was 4 -just like him. So we picked his tag and another little girl. I hope it is a great tradition we have started. Ryker keep asking if he could have the toy he picked out for the little boy but we keep reminding him he has lots of toys already. I think it was a great teaching moment.
It was a great night and I'm grateful for this wonderful Christmas season....it was so sad seeing all the tags on the Christmas tree....I WISH I had the means to buy all the kids something for Christmas. So if you have not ever gone and picked a Christmas Angel....PLEASE do. =)

Oh that last picture is classic. What a princess. You are such a good mom doing your FHE lessons and teaching your kids to think of others. I get to see you in t minus 5 days, by the way :) Hip hip hooray!!
Milly never ceases to amaze me.
Pink Leah is now Pink Milly!
#1 the dolls are SO cute like everything else you create! #2 I think they look just as good as the demo :) #3 I really wish we could've done the FHE night with you :( Nolan and I are actually going today though to do the same:) I love it. We were at sports authority and they had a whole tree full too. It made me sad to think that some of these kids wont get toys We are so blessed to have jobs or the means to have a Christmas. The least we can do is give back.
When did millie get so grown up? Really, you JUST birthed her it seems like. Your hair looks so cute with that head band on. You need an etsy shop!
