and SEW it was christmas....

yep... it's been years since i have really sewn any thing in the way of clothing. but, this year, haley had a stash of fabric hiding down in her sewing room, whispering my name. so, i decided to make all of the grandkids same, same jammas (just the bottoms). then i bought the girls long sleeve red t-shirts and the boys long sleeve green t-shirts. on the boys, i put a cuff and pockets, and the girls, i put ruffles on the bottom (i remember WHY i don't sew anymore! and ruffles are a pain in the patootie!), then i bought them all red slippers. i think they were all tickled with them, mostly just because they were all alike. we let them open them on christmas eve and put them on. don't they look cute!

the little girls.

the boys.

in his own words... "it was chaos!"

and... here's to wishing you all a very happy and prosperous 2010 !
love, the hunter's
