Absolutely incredible! Those are the only two words I have to describe our Christmas, and our Mama!!! Eirene made our Christmas. Figuratively, spiritually, and perhaps most of all, literally! Here is a sampling of our handmade Christmas:
Mae: Beautiful doll (now known as Harper), matching nightgowns and dresses for Mae and Harper, a knit winter hat, a gorgeous coat, and a cute purse all made by mama; and a cradle for Harper made by dada.
Ike: Superman pj's, knit monster hat, monster backpack, monster stuffed animal (really cool!), and a stickhorse all made by mama; and a pinewood derby truck made by dada.
Dada: Sweet F-16/paper airplane tshirt, ipod armband, awesome fatherly "Lucky Charms, anyone?" apron, and an incredibly intricate knit winter hat all made by Eirene.
Eirene is simply incredible and really made our Christmas wonderful. We also got some very great gifts from family and friends. I hope you all enjoy your Christmases as much as we've enjoyed ours! Merry Christmas!

Ben and Eirene---So proud of you and your make-everything philosophy! Lovely children-- a visit from H and T and kids made ours memorable. I loved North and South and am now reading Wives and Daughters also by E.G. My fav book and movie of the year was Dickens' Little Dorrit.
so ben, what did you make eirene?
Eirene, I am so proud of your knitting skills, I adore to gnome hat you made for miss M. Beautiful!
HOLY CRAP!!! Eirene are you aware that Mae is a miniature of you??? EH??? Also hats off about the whole home made Christmas. Props.
Oh, I posted below but I also love that wild charming bouquet! You guys truly had such sweet Christmas times, aren't little ones the best, and isn't it so sweet to be a busy bee for your little fam at Christmas? You are so awesome! And might I add created the most charming Christmas Day, Eve, for us all that was so lovely with the bells, and the lovely dinner under the spell of your magical tree!
p.s. thanks so much for the knitting party!
