Winter is officially still about six weeks away, but our days are getting colder and darker so to this former Texan, winter is here. Which makes for a really bad time to start trying to lose weight (shoot!), but the best time for Gingerbread cookies, a cup of coffee and cozying up to read good books on the couch!
Yesterday was cold and cloudy. Lily and I went to the library and got some new books to read, then sat and ate our favorite cookies. Mmmm.

This is a picture of my vacancy church, perhaps soon to be part of a dual parish with the church I am currently called to. Although it looks too good to be real, a member who lives near the church sent it to me. It’s not always this pretty though. I remember drifts a couple of winters ago over 8 ft tall on this gravel road.

Lily and Clara are having so much fun with these little wooden people my mom made for them.
I got the idea from Serving Pink Lemonade and commissioned her. I gave her a list of characters I thought the girls would like and I think she did an amazing job!
You don’t need much to make these just a few dollars, some paint, a steady hand and a little time. Here are some other sites for wooden doll inspiration:

This year I dressed the babies up as some of our favorite story characters. Lily is Heidi and I’d originally planned on making all of them characters from that story; Heidi, Klara, Peter and a baby goat. Clara however, would not be “Klara” for Halloween. So I went a different direction, Clara and Gerhardt were Hansel and Gretel, Esther was still a baby goat, she’s so much more compliant than the others…
Esther’s supposed to be a Nubian goat, they have floppy ears like this but I realized she looked more like a puppy dog. Oh well, she was still cute!
