Ah, it feels so good to get the body moving over the holidays. I went on a little walk with my parents, my sister and the big girls. It was so lovely to spend even just these little moments together.

We went to Calgary for Christmas, and one of our first things to do was to build a gingerbread house with my niece, Theia. It was a fun little activity for the cousins to do together and it was really nice to hang out with my sister and her family. 

Ornaments, nightgowns and this quilt were the items I made for Christmas gifts. I backed this quilt in flannel which is the new must for every quilt I make. It makes the quilt extra cozy! This was a gift for someone I watch over at church. It may have been me serving in my style, but it was service nonetheless.

Sometime before Christmas we made swedish gingerbread cookies and sugar cookies. Here are some pictures of my little helpers. Maeve got in like a dirty shirt grabbing fingerfuls of dough to eat! In December, Maeve added the word, "cookie" to her vocabulary. 

Holly and Greta had so much fun sewing up these felt ornaments. We used this template (printed at 120%). I can imagine us sewing up these ornaments again next year too!
