Starting Traditions


This is a year where I feel many Traditions are beginning and renewing.  My kids are getting to that fun age where they remember the old and enjoy the new.  I am having the time of my life watching their excitement with each tradition!

I made Cole and Sadie these Christmas pillowcases and gave it to them on the first day of our Advent.  They LOVE them!  My mom made Kevin and I some when we first got married and we still use them!  I was able to monogram them with my friends Embroidery Machine.  Thanks Lara! 
 I stumbled upon this Santa fabric in Walmart for $3 a yard and couldn't resist!  There are patterns all over the Internet to make them.  I used the pattern here.  Way easy too!  If you are not an experienced sewer, I know you could do it!   Plus your kids would love it too!  Cole loves to tell people that I made them.  And he really enjoys his name on it.  I do too. ;)
