Mitiz's Favorite Christmas Elf....

This is Mitzi's newest project. Every time she looked at his grumpy face she couldn't help but laugh! She was working on it in the kitchen and throughout the whole house you could hear her cracking up as she tried different hats on him. It was just like Santa's workshop between Embelina playing Christmas carols and Mitzi spreading Christmas cheer.

Happy Holidays Everyone!



There are no words to describe this post....

CHRISTMAS PINEAPPLE.

That is all.

Embelina decided to see how long it would take Mitzi and Dad to notice....it didn't take them too long. Then we ate it.



Santa's Elves

We have been trying to make 2011 a homemade Christmas this year. It has been very challenging, more meaningful, and way more fun! Except for the fact that we can't post what we're up to for fear of the intended person to see it. This gift, however, has already been given to our first nephew Max, so its okay to show you now. Bodecia made it for him. Can you see the owls in the pattern?

Isn't he adorable?! At first he wasn't too sure about it, but he soon decided he liked it. More importantly, his mother LOVED it. He's just so cute!



First Christmas

Every year for Christmas everyone gets a new ornament. Which is why our tree is such a hodge-podge of eye spyness. This year, being Max's first Christmas, Mitzi made him this hand-soldered ornament. Doesn't that smile just light up the whole tree?!

Here Max is listening to Grandpa read him Christmas stories.



Thinking of Summer

I miss summer. I also miss one of my favorite flowers. Sunflowers are so huge and bright and gorgeous! Today I thought I'd try my hand at painting them. I'm also capturing images of things through my camera, but I thought I'd try doing it in a new way...



I have so much more respect for painters, sketchers, and artists now. Painting is difficult! If you have never tried I highly recommend it. Everything else floats away when you're holding a paintbrush.

Getting in the Mood

 Christmas is just around the corner! Not to freak any of you out, but it is only 23 days till Christmas. Which means that times time to start celebrating! All the things we do at this time of year are all just symbols of something greater. We make memories by making cookies together. We show our families how much we love them by giving them gifts. We become a people who demonstrates gratitude by showing thankfulness to our friends (you know, the ones who gave us the gifts), and to our God for coming here in the form of a weak and helpless baby in order to become our Savior. That's the real reason for this joyful season.



We wish you all the best as you prepare for this holiday season. May your hearts, souls, and thoughts be always Christ centered as you make memories, give love, and be thankful.

"For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 

Isaiah 9:6

Much love, FiveSistersCo
