THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS

I'm sorry I haven't posted any more dolls lately. I have been busy getting ready for big events: Thanksgiving; then an even bigger event-the sealing of our daughter and her husband Rigg and their little daughter in the temple; then Christmas decorations and preparations.

I made my granddaughter's dress and jacket.
Here she is wearing it at the temple.
Here's the whole family. What a wonderful  day!
We had five of our ten grandchildren during the holidays. Here I am reading a story to the oldest of the five.
Here's what you call a miracle: Five children four and under looking at the camera at the same time. I'm in the middle with my parents on either side and the grand and for my parents great grandchildren flanking us.
Visiting Santa: This granddaughter is scared of Santa. She's not sure she wants to be very close to him.
Well, maybe he's not so bad. He gave me a candy cane.
Well, maybe he's okay after all. I told him I wanted a dolly for Christmas.
Her sister was not afraid at all. In fact she even told Santa that her daddy said she wasn't getting anything for Christmas this year.
We made wreaths for Christmas presents for mommy and daddy  and grandma and grandpa. I wish all my grandchildren were close so we could have fun doing Christmas projects. (This was a dollar store project:$5.50 for four wreaths.)
If you're lucky, tomorrow I'll post more dolls. I just need to photograph the ones I have already made.
