Our unconventional Christmas card. . . We wish you a very Merry Christmas, and a fabulous new year!!
Cute - Merry Christmas, Thurbers!! Milo looks like he was learning the choreography as he was going along! :o) He's a good sport...all you girls getting him to dance and put it on YouTube...
It's been a long time (7 years to be exact!) since I've contributed to this blog. It had been such a wonderful way to save all of our important family stories in one place. Sadly, we had an unfortunate incident back in 2013 where someone made horrifying comments on a dozen or more posts and it freaked me out. I decided to shut it down completely. And with that, I lost contact with so many of our cherished friends that we'd kept in touch with this medium. It also made it harder to distribute our fun family Christmas Cards! I'm taking some college courses this fall, for the first time in nearly 25 years! I'm finally finishing my degree and the plan is to go to grad school - time will tell. I'm still working at the office - mostly from home, and am reeling with the reality that half of my gorgeous girls have flown the nest and are loving their schools, but are so far away! Mads is a Junior at BYUH in Laie, Hawaii and Lil is a Freshman at Life University in Marie
The Problem: Tight financial situation. . . too many places our money needs to go! The Challenge: To not spend any money on school clothes for the girls. . . Use fabric that I already have, clothes I already have, etc. The Result: A *LOT* of fun! The girls loved being able to be a part of the designing and making process. I had fun knowing that I've hardly spent anything, yet the girls have a few fun new outfits for school! Total Spent: Less than $15. This includes the new t-shirts with a couple of the skirts I made, a cute piece of fabric I have yet to use, and some elastic! Everything else came from our own house! Vivien's First Outfit: Her skirt is made from an old pair of blue cords that ALL four girls wore. Vivs wore them last winter, and they were going in the goodwill box until I saw an idea online to make old jeans into skirts. . . this is what I came up with. The material I bought when I was pregnant with Lillian!! It was planned to be a nighty. . .
