Tenth Day of Christmas {crafts}

I made the girls and my niece matching ribbon tree shirts. I surprised Emmie with an early Christmas present so they could all wear them throughout the Christmas season. The girls were finally all together for a picture during our family Christmas in North Carolina.

Jen already talked a bit about Christmas morning, but here's a bit of video to give you more of a taste of it.

After Christmas at our house, we headed to Grams and Pop's for more celebrating. Aunt Caroline offered Leah a little pre-present reading.

I think Molly might be ticklish.

Either Leah likes this inchworm, or she's hungry.

Don't eat the worm!

Grammy, Grams and Pop were in on the action as well.

To end our day, Chad hooked up his parents new Blu-ray player and we immediately put in Molly's new Beauty and the Beast disc. Here he is watching with his little ones.

My sister knits, so I made her a knitting needle roll to keep all her needles together and organized.

The needles are held tight with an elastic band, and the flaps lift to cover the tips.

Christmas morning was exciting. The girls went through their stockings in a flash, then got to opening presents.

What could it be?

Her very own superhero cape!

Leah still needs a little help opening her presents.

A little help, please

Molly loves to wear blankets around her neck like capes, so I made her her very own superhero cape!

This was the Christmas morning action shot!
