Christmas Eve
Merry Christmas! Surprise, Surprise - snow in Texas. It was 73 yesterday and we went to the park, rode bikes, and Carrie ran and it was quite warm. Now it is cold and snowing. Here are several pictures from our short adventure outside to play in the snow.

i made katie a livestrong, daddy, cheerios, bumblebee inspired dress with this pattern and a few old t-shirts. i was going to add a red segment to the dress, but decided the colors of the german flag would not go well with jon's shaved head. the one with jon's picture was a gift he gave me, size large, when we were dating. i am not sure what that reveals about how jon views my size and style!
you can't tell in the picture, but i sewed the back black panel on wrong side out! oops!
you can make fun of these wonky bell sleeves if you want. i am not sure about them myself.
how much will she hate me when she is 15 and sees i made her wear this? for the record - she chose which shoes to wear.

Tis the Season for Blood Curdling Screams
This is not the picture we had envisioned (obviously - or I would have made better wardrobe choices for myself) when we took K to see Santa.
Why are Jon and I in the picture? Shrieks of terror, loud enough to make us all jump, from the boy just ahead of Katie in the Santa line made her more than a little cautious. See the fear in her eyes in this pic below? K kept saying "Hold you, Mawhner." She just knew Jon or I would betray her and force her to sit with Santa. However, neither of us had the heart to wrench her from our arms and force her to sit in S. C.'s lap. So we have a family portrait. It'll be a fun story to share with K one day.
Memaw T gave me red and white polka dot material. I sewed it into the bubble skirt K is modeling. My Memaw Hazel would make me and my girl cousins Christmas skirts each year to wear in our Santa pictures. I'm keeping the tradition alive.

Poufy Christmas
It started with a poufy hat...
Then poufy hair...
Now she is hanging her bath pouf on the tree...
