Christmas 2015

 Warning: Photo Overload

So Christmas 2015 has come and gone. We had a fabulous day with just ourselves and ate too much food and played with Lego, tried out Caden's new Sticky Wicky and watched a movie.

We never seem to get visitors at Christmas because it too hot for them, so it's always just us as we prefer to be home for Christmas since 4 kids and travel at that time of year is not easy or enjoyable.

I hope your Christmas was a safe and happy one spent with people you love.

Handmade Knits

I mentioned to my Grandmother a few weeks ago that I was knitting a cardigan for Mahli and this gave her the idea that she should pull out her knitting too.

So in about 4 days she knocked out as little red cardy for Mahli and then she just kept on knitting.

Mahli has another cardy, this time in pink (not photographed, it's in the wash) and her dolls have not been forgotten either. 

Knitted Dolls Dress

 And I think Ethan now has three new jumpers and Caden has one and on they way.

Meanwhile, I am still knitting Mahli's Kina!

Oh to be able to knit like my Granny!

And this jumper was knitted last year by her,

Ethan wore it out yesterday and we got some many comments on it it wasn't funny.

Do you like hand knitted clothing?

I'd like you to meet...

... Pokoyo

The kids found him sitting in the curtains this morning. He has a birds eyes view of everything in the house!

Pokoyo is our Elf on a Shelf. He moved in with us yesterday and we will be farewelling him on the 24th of December. Already he has become a valued member of our home. I am sure I will miss him when he is gone!

Have you got your own Elf on a Shelf? I only just found out about their existence last month.
