Christmas came and went and I never shared the great events. Here are the grand gifts that are still played with daily, heirloom quality I presume.

Grandma and Grandpa found this beautiful doll bed at a garage sale for lil' Norah. Before I knew they found it, I found the doll high chair at a flea market. I made her that doll (my first Amigurumi project) and determined she needed a handmade pillow and blanket. Luck has it that the blanket and pillow fit the bed perfectly, without planning!

Norah initially thought the miniature sized furniture was for her!

A big gift for the both of them.
Eric built an ark, for their collection of animals that has been growing. All animals need a place to play. Now Simon's jungle animals and Norah's farm animals have more to do and can co-exist! Believe it or not, around New Year's we found the perfect Noah figurine - at the dollar store! Simon kept saying he needed a Noah. Prior to Christmas I searched online; all I could find were super-hero styled Noahs. Who would have thought the dollar store would have just what we needed!



And of course the box from Grandma and Grandpa was also a gift of fun. Two fit quite snugly.

Of course the blue flashlight from Santa was necessary!
All the excitement tuckered out two precious kiddos. Norah needed her snowman pillow and blanket from Simon. Simon needed his new stuffed big dog, now named Ruff Ruff, from Grandma and Grandpa.


In these pictures, Norah is wearing a dress made by Grandma Wiens and her new slippers from Mommy bought at the MN State Fair.

I LOVE the ark! And of course it needs a Noah.

The story of the ark is Ezra's favorite in his children's Bible. "Camels! Rain! Snakes! Moo! (he doesn't say 'cow') Man!"
