For Mom . . .

I have an amazing Mom--for MANY reasons. Today though, I'm posting to give Mom credit and THANKS for the hours and hours of coaching and instruction she gave me LONG DISTANCE (over the phone and sometimes VERY late at night) as I attempted to sew my children Christmas pajamas and hobby horses. I know to a lot of people sewing an article of clothing may seem like a small feat, but it was a monumental accomplishment for me. Thanks for all your help and encouragement Mom. . . Jack and Livi LOVE their new PJs and their horses!! Olivia's nightgown was originally intended for Anna, but as you can see it obviously would have been WAY TOO BIG for Anna--they fit Olivia perfectly (and Anna is obliviously satisfied with her substitute PJs from Old Navy)! Jack was only presented with pajama bottoms on Christmas Eve and wouldn't let me forget that I needed to finish sewing his pajama top. . . a few days later he got his wish thanks to more over-the-phone help from Mom. Here they are with their horses. Jack named his Lollipop (because that's what it looked like when it was all wrapped up). Olivia has yet to give hers a name. They both love them though! They've been playing lots of pretend cowboy and cowgirl lately.

Even little Anna has enjoyed the horses--I guess she's not too young for one and I guess I'll be making another one soon!

THANK YOU

for all your help Mom!!
