I think the homemade gifts were a hit...

I had so much fun watching my nieces and nephews open their homemade Christmas gifts.


Michael with his Yoda doll.


Lizzie with her doll.


Lizzie in her knitted bobble bonnet.


Mary with her "Mary" doll.


Madeline and Reed with their dolls. Reed was particularly happy with his "Mr. Doll."


Joe with his Zorro doll.


And a last minute gift:
J with Fred (from Scooby Doo)--J had been asking for a "Fred" doll when I was working on the others. I told him it would have to wait until after Christmas, but then felt sad about that so I decided to try and make him in time for Christmas. I managed to get him done in about a day and a half which is quite a feat for me.

And finally, my sister-in-law sent me this picture of my nephew:
Oscar in his caterpillar hat. She said he'd been wearing it ever since he opened his present. He looks SO adorable!
