New: Santa socks from Target. I know, they look a little “house-fell-on-the-wicked-witch” paired these shoes, but I couldn’t resist trying them on together. 🙂 A little Dr. Seussy, too.

Old: This is a great sweater my grandmother knit for my dad when he was a kid. There is a part across the middle where she added length after he outgrew it! Now that’s refashioning at it’s best.

New: kid-made cookies for breakfast. (what…)
Old:
The Santa mug tradition. This one is only a few years old, but I sure loved the santa mugs of my childhood. Especially the winking one.

New: A fresh bloom on the amaryllis

New: sticky Christmas kid crafts

New: this years ornament, brought back from Russia by my mom. Look, she’s got yarn!
