rewind: the weekend in pictures

We had a great weekend..and I got my camera back. :)

*went to the cutest 1 year old birthday party starring two of our favorite 1 year olds!


*went and watched the lighting of the tree at Fashion Island...


The twins were so excited... and then when it was lit, Merrick cried. I think he thought it was on fire. He kept asking what happened to the tree.


***AND my neighbor and I decided to start this crazy project! We want this advent calendar... but don't want to pay $69 for it, so we decided to make it, and I am excited to say that I just finished my LAST square. I had to stitch 25 squares with Christmas items on each of them...


















Here are a couple of my little squares. All felt, all stitched. no glue. Ahh.. feels good to be done. Now I am just waiting for my felt to come in the mail, and I can finish!

4 love notes:
