Christmas Countdown - Emily & Sophia

 

Today Emily and Sophia have chosen a Christmas dress each.

Pretty Sophia has chosen one with a toy theme.

Emily is looking good in red.

Two gorgeous girls reading for some seasonal fun!

 

The Christmas Countdown has begun.

 

 Well it is exactly a month until Christmas Day so the Sasha Haven family have started dressing for Christmas.  Molly and Summer got down the Christmas dresses box, and rummaged through to choose what they would like to wear.

Summer chose this pretty star dress as it had yellow in it, and yellow is a summer colour, which of course Summer loves.

Molly chose red, which is not unusual for her as she looks so good in it.

The Christmas Countdown has begun.

Christmas Girls Days 1 - 7

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

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...

Advent 2016 - Day Six

Edward and Henry are enjoying the Lego Advent Calendar

Henry is setting up the stage

Edward is playing with the snowmen.

Emily finds them playing early this morning. 

Oh, how exciting, this is different.  She says. Can I open a window today?  I quite like Lego.

Of course.  They both reply.

Now where is window six? 

They all look for the window.

Here it is.  Emily says as she climbs on a box to reach over.

Here Emily, I will help you.  Says Edward gallantly. 

What is it?  Emily asks.

You have to make it to find out.  Edward tells her.

I still don't know what it is.  She says after she has made it.

Henry comes over to have a look as well.

It looks like a snow plough.  Edward tells her.

I think it should go over here.  Henry suggests.

That is a good idea! Emily agrees.  Look the snow is in front of it now.

Sunday Summary - Knitting and Sewing over the last week.

The productive theme continues.

Emily is modelling a Christmas dress 

The back does up with three buttons.

A Christmas Jumper/Sweater modelled by Susan.

It sparkles in the sun!

Does up at the back with a half opening and three buttons.

Maddison says this dress is a keeper for sure!

It goes perfectly with her pink boots.  

Next up some sewing.... 

Emily models this fun Christmas dress - can't believe how fast this time of year is!

Sophia looks pretty in the blue snowman dress.

Maddison is modelling the Christmas Village dress - this is already sold.

Again she is modelling another dress (yes I know the pink boots don't go with the dress, but try telling Maddison that!)

Emily in green snowflakes.

Some non-Sasha knitting..

Matilda (who I think will become Tilly) is wearing a dress knitted for her just in time for Peggy Sue's birthday party.   She has been in a box for a whole year so was very pleased to be let out, although was rather tentative...

There is much excitement here at Rose Cottage as we approach December and the annual opening of the Advent Calendar...I wonder what it will be this year?!
