Lego Fun

12/31/2014

4 Comments

 
When our boys were growing up, we tried to encourage non-violent toys that encouraged creativity, so Lego was often the gift of choice. Efreet and Ringo both enjoy Lego too, so I got them some for Christmas.  I caught them concentrating hard to put their little cars together.....
Picture
But boys aren't the only ones who love Lego. Nami asked for several 'Bricktober' sets...
Picture
She put together the fire station, the pizzeria and the movie theatre, 
saving her favourite - the Town Hall - until last......
Picture
Efreet and Ringo couldn't believe their eyes!

the Doll Houses

12/30/2014

A couple of the girls were lucky enough to get beautiful new doll houses, along with a large selection of furniture, for Christmas. I photographed them trying to set up their doll houses, 
but I think I may have given them far too much furniture to fit into the tiny rooms......

I thought it was fascinating that they all wanted to set up their bathrooms first....

A Sewing Kit for Lisa

Lisa dreams of learning to sew and becoming a fashion designer.....
Picture
...so I put together a basket full of sewing supplies for her. I found a tiny pair of shears in a sewing kit at the dollar store, wrapped embroidery floss around some tiny wooden spools I discovered tucked into the back of my props drawer, and then I made a miniature pincushion.

Peach had a special gift for Lonnie.  She had enjoyed her fall trip so much, she thought maybe one of the others might enjoy coming along on a wilderness excursion as well. So she gave Lonnie a backpack complete with all kinds of wilderness hiking gear....
Picture
"Wow, this is so cool! Thanks so much!"
Picture
"Next time I hope I can come along with you!"

Efreet was thrilled to receive an electronic Simon game....
Picture
He was so excited that he wanted to play it right away. Ringo wanted to play too, 
but he found the lights flashed way too fast and he couldn't keep up....

*Simon is a 2014 Hallmark Christmas ornament, and it really works.

Christmas Morning

Time to share some photos from Christmas morning..... 
Ringo was up very early, and he was the first one downstairs, and after taking 
down his stocking, he went to see what Santa had left him under the tree......
Picture
And what a sight! The bottom of the tree was piled high with gifts!
Bonnie was the next one up, and she joined Ringo staring in awe at the tree....

Too Many Treats

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas yesterday! 

There was so much good food, and so many delicious treats, it was difficult not to eat too much. And the older I get, the worse it seems to affect me. This photo of Elin and Nami, from last year's 'Bicarbonate of Soda Day',  says it all - it's pretty much how I was feeling.....and still am.....

Milk and Cookies for Santa

12/24/2014

1 Comment

 
The girls have been busy baking cookies all day, and have put some of their favourites on a plate for Santa, in the hopes that he will appreciate their efforts and give them something extra special.

"He's going to need a big glass of milk to go with all those cookies", said Bonnie, 
"Do you think he's going to eat them all?"
Picture
"Sure! He's going to need all that sugar for energy so he can deliver all his presents in time.
I just hope he's not diabetic...."
