The Girls have started decorating.

Some of the Christmas decorations have been brought down from the loft and the girls are busy decorating the tree.  Mary Ellen and Sophia are working on one...

Lots of decorations to choose from.

Emily is sorting out the sled, and has put a sack in it ready for the wished for presents from Santa.

Molly has got the lights on the other tree

and Sasha has been busy putting the decorations up.

A little bit of work to go yet, but I doubt it will take them long!

Meanwhile, Day Eight has seen Sally choose a Christmas dress.

It matches her JJ shoes.

Christmas Girls Days 1 - 7

The girls have been getting slowly dressed up in their Christmas dresses.  One girl each day:

Day One: Emily 

Day Two:  Sophia

Day Three:  Mary Ellen

Day Four: Molly

Day Five: Sasha

Day Six: Ziva

Day Seven: Liebe

From left to right:  Emily, Liebe, Sophia, Ziva, Sasha, Emily & Mary Ellen.

Do you think now some of us have our Christmas dresses on, that Mum will get the decorations down from the loft?  They all ponder...

A Musical Soiree?

Some of the girl have formed an eclectic band of sorts...it is all 'top secret' apparently, but I have heard various noises sounds coming from the music room...

I see we have Sasha and Maddison on the maracas, although Maddison still wants a drum set, Stevie is on recorder, Molly hand drum and Emily on the harmonica.

Elsewhere...

Peggy Sue is making sweet sounds on her saxophone.

More Matching Sasha & Gregor Outfits!

Going through my 'archives' I found another couple of matching boy and girl outfits...

These were the first knitted items I made for Sasha & Gregor - I didn't even have shoes for them then!

Another very early outfit set I made.  Sadly this boy is no longer with me...if I knew then what I knew now he still would be as he had a very good head of hair!

Good behaviour and excitement building...

Baby Barney Bam  Bam is out in the garden in his new romper suit knitted for him yesterday.

He is being unusually well behaved and placid today.

Is he looking at the birds?

Looks like he has picked a daisy...

What a sweet little boy.

Elsewhere in the garden..

Molly and Maddison are busy discussing something.

Henry approaches and wonders if they know what he knows?

Hey there girls.  Henry says.

Hi, they answer back.

Are you excited?  He asks.

Of course we are!  They reply.

Bonnie and Baby approach

Can we come too?  Bonnie asks.

Baby BB babbles something as well.  Henry looks down and tries to interpret what he is asking.

Of course you can!  Maddison tells them, having worked out exactly what Baby Barney was also asking. (No wonder he has been on his best behaviour!)

It is so exciting!  They chat about the Sasha Celebration Weekend they are going to and wonder what time they will get there tomorrow.  They are looking forward to seeing and meeting all their friends.

Pretty in Pink - 2011

A week of 'Pretty in Pink' is currently featuring on FB so I thought it would be fun to reminisce and go back over the years and post photos of my girls 'Pretty in Pink' for each year since 2011.  It is certainly interesting going back and looking at these old photos, seeing things I have made in the past, and the way my photography has improved.  It is also fun  to see who has stayed and who has moved on.

All clothing is made by me unless I say otherwise.

Monica in a lovely smocked dress she arrived in.
