Lilly loves being in school this year. She has grown by leaps and bounds and it is amazing to watch her. Today her class did their Christmas program and then had a party. Scott and I were there to watch her and we both were so proud! Lilly did the motions and sang her little heart out. It was great! Not that I am at all biased, but I think she was the most beautiful one up there! Oh, and don't you just love the dress? It is so perfect for the songs that call for turning around!

Today is the last day for the kids till the new year. We are all excited about Christmas. The house is decorated and feels so warm and cozy. We also have a live tree this year, which is the first time in years. Personally, I think it is the most beautiful one we have ever had. Oh well..that is not the whole truth. The cute Charlie Brown Christmas tree that was run over by a German woman, while Scott was stationed in Germany was the best! Anyhow the tree is beautiful and I didn't realize how much I missed having a real one. I may change my mind about that though after it starts dropping needles.

Scott is going to be on vacation for the two weeks that the kids are out of school. It is going to be nice to have him here. I do miss the family dinners when Scott is traveling. We are going to try to spend a lot of quality time doing things around town. Finances won't let us do much, but I am grateful that we have our health and our family.

Love,love,love this outfit!



I have posted some of Lilly's latest outfits on the Sew Lilly blog. This though is my favorite and seems to get the most compliments when she wears it to school. Lilly on the other hand is not crazy about this one. She likes the top,but not the pants. Which with cooler weather here she needs to wear something warmer than bare legs. This was a simple outfit to make but I think with it being so simple makes it work.
It also can be layered up to to make it more versatile.

As much as I love to sew and create for Lilly my time is nearing an end. She is very picky about what she wants to wear. The bad thing is she may love something one day and then despise it the next. I think she is just trying to find her own sense of self and clothing seems to be the way. It makes me sad to know that she doesn't want to wear the things I make, but in reality I knew this day would come. It is just very hard for it me to realize that she is indeed growing up.
