Attend our Family Christmas PartyThis evening we attended my family's annual Christmas Party. For several years we make homemade gifts to give out. I must say that I have some pretty talented people in my family! My homemade jam (which is super yummy) was nothing compared to the gifts given out this year!
Livy received this from her Grandma. At first it looks like a crocheted bag until you open it.
Inside you find a small baby doll and a blanket. The bag then turns into a bed.
Also from my mom, Lucy received the beautiful purple blanket which matches her room. The multi-colored blanket came in the mail from my aunt.
My sister and her girls made these simple but adorable mushrooms. The top is a sea shell and the bottom drift wood from their vacation to Hawaii. The picture doesn't do it justice! This little guy is a perfect decoration in a houseplant.
For my nieces, my mom made backpacks
And fish bags
I love knowing that thought went into each of these gifts and very little money was spent.
