A little Easton

Easton was given a Broncos jersey and football from Grandma and Grandpa Cali for his birthday.  To say he loves them is an understatement!

On new years day, Ron mentioned to Easton that it was time to cut his hair.  Easton asked to have no hair, or in his words "be balt."

We obliged, but first gave him a little mohawk.

Hopefully he can stay warm!

The Baby Doll Beds

There is nothing like changing your mind on what you are giving all of your young nieces (and your two daughters) on November 29th.

That is exactly what happened when I saw this post on MADE.

Suddenly I was making six (yes, SIX) baby doll baskets before Christmas.

This was a pattern that was not like those I am used to sewing, as the cutting and prep work took more than 75% of your completion time, so just when you were about to die with how much time you had spent cutting out six baskets worth of fabric and lining, etc. you sat down at the sewing machine and had them done in no time (relatively, anyway).

And here are the finished projects:

I like to share pictures like this to tempt my California family and friends to move here.  #rememberthisdoesntfactorinthewindchill

This boy, the one who officially made me a mother, turns 6 today! Love him! Happy Birthday Easton!

I knew things were a little two quiet... #atleasttheyarethewashablekind

Two of six baby doll baskets done. #handmadechristmas

Visiting the "real" Santa at our ward party.  My kids LOVE him and would honestly stay by this side all day. (Kendree pretty much did). #latergram

Sometimes you don't ask why they want a picture with a blanket on their head, you just go with it.

Baby doll baskets #3 and 4. I had separation anxiety as I packed them in a box bound for California. Guess that means they didn't turn out too bad. :) Alisa - hope the girls like them!

Christmas singing program!  Easton got to wear pajamas and bring his lovey "Horsey" to school. Best. Day. Ever.

There. Are. No. Words. #excepticantwaittorestagethisonein15years

Finished the two final baby doll beds!  These ones will live in my own house.  After watching me make all 6, I know Kendree will love them.

Kendree's version of "Move It!" Yes, she is saying moo-ga.
