Bearing gifts

We've been visited by sweet friends and family bearing gifts!

These cute little guys were a gift from Mom and Dad. A friend of Mom's from work cut out

the reindeer heads. Mom painted them (she used to toll paint all the time...beautifully!), and

Dad put it all together. Sweet!

Emma's dear friend Ember helped her mom make an awesome
puppet set of Hansel and Gretel. Emma has been playing with them since
they appeared in her sweet little hands. She's informed me that we need
the candy cottage and the witch. That just might be a great project
for Christmas Break.

Another dear friend made this magnet board for me. The fabric
that she used is beautiful! I'm now searching for the perfect knob to hang it from (Hobby Lobby, here I come!) and the perfect place on the wall.
