Christmas is less than two weeks away...where did all the time go??!! My mom and I decided this year that it would be fun to smock matching Christmas dresses for my girls. Knowing us and our schedules, we bought the stuff back oh, say, in August...;) Good thing we did because it took us this long to get them completed! I had to end up getting Granny to finish the last little bit this week so the girls could wear them for the next few Sundays...and believe me, they will be wearing these dresses until the Christmas season has officially ended and the wise men have made it to see baby Jesus! Smocking is hard work! The girls looked just precious in their dresses and we took TONS of pictures...but go figure, these were the only two that they both looked "pleasant" and at the camera. It seems the look now-a-days in the McPherson household when mommy throws a camera in your face, is the deer in headlights look...good grief!
Here are my sweet things snuggling together
Yeah! They are both semi-smiling and semi-looking at the camera! Score;)
On Sunday we invited our good friends three kids to come spend the day with us so the parents could shop and spend some quality time together. We had a blast!! I don't know who enjoyed it more?!! The kids, me or the parents;) We love, love, love this family and their kids so it was a complete pleasure to have them mesh into our family for a day. Our day was full of church, playing, baking Christmas treats, watching Christmas movies, and EATING!!!
Here's the crew in front of the gingerbread house they made and decorated. Good job guys!!!
the masterpiece...notice the finger in the center pointing at the candy she wants to eat..."...and this, and this one, and this one...I want all of it...yum"
We also covered just about everything in my kitchen with chocolate;) Right here we have the strawberry marshmallows covered in chocolate...yum! They taste like chocolate covered strawberries!
Here's a little piece of heaven sandwiched between two chocolate covered DOUBLE-stuffed Oreos;) I'm just going to say that there is nothing left from this baking adventure...;)
Here are a few of the little bakers taking a break and watch Christmas movies
