So this post is a little later than I wanted but we have had so many family get-togethers for the holidays, finding the time to post was difficult. So here is a little catch up of our Christmas Eve.

The little ladies were busy making last minute ornaments for gifts. Thanks to the lovely ladies at Plot 55 for this idea!

And they were busy decorating gingerbread men in their brand new Christmas jammies!

We received many lovely handmade gifts for Christmas this year; but I’m saving those for a future post. I hope all is well and the holidays are going great!

    We do jammies and cookies on Christmas Eve, too! The girls’ new jammies came from Old Navy this year–I had my heart set on sewing matching jammies, and I even have my pattern from Oliver + S, but sometimes you just have to let go, you know?

    Those ornaments are also on our list for next year, as well as the kind where you trim the popsicle sticks to make Christmas trees.

    Love the jammies! I got the owl softie on Christmas Eve, and just want to say thank you! So adorable, and my little girl loved it set out on Christmas morning with her new slippers!
