This year I did something that I've wanted to do for quite a while. All of the presents were wrapped in fabric and tied up with fabric ribbon. Surprisingly, I found it easier to wrap this way. And the fabric is easily reused. Way cool!

This dollhouse is awesome! It comes with EVERYTHING!
We also had our traditional Hanukkah dinner with a bit of a Thanksgiving twist to make up for the missed Thanksgiving dinner together. LK makes the best Thanksgiving stuffing and the best Hanukkah Latkes. YUM!

What a wonderful Hanukkah princess had. I love seeing that smile of hers! Have a wonderful time with LK.
Looks like a lot of fun. Glad you enjoyed Hanukkah.
This is wonderful! I'm so happy that you all had that wonderful time together. AND the toys!!! yay!
You know, as I see more posts about Hanukkah it occurs to me that opening one present a night makes it possible to enjoy each, individual present. Christmas morning is a big orgy of paper and packages. It's overwhelming.
Um, Violet would shriek with glee if I showed her the Musketeer Barbies. It's the only thing she asked Santa for. We also bought Violet her own Musketeer costume to match Corinne's outfit.
Tee Hee! I'm excited.
Fabric wrapping, you're a genius!
And I just love the pics of Princess and LK - pure bonding time. :)
I'm with Kelly, stretching the presents out over a week allows the kids to really enjoy each present.
You wouldn't believe how many times I've had to remind my kids of what they got for Christmas because things got overlooked in the all-in-one-morning mayhem.
What a fun 8 days! I know you're missing him now but he'll be back before you know it. So happy that you had a good time together as a family!
Frau, it is a beautiful smile, isn't it?!
SMT, we did have a wonderful time. Thank you!
Fiona, I think I did pretty well choosing this year. Princess seems to be quite happy with what she got.
Kelly, I've always thought that Christmas morning with all those presents would be quite overwhelming. I have a friend who used to do the twelve days of Christmas and open a gift each night...just an idea! . :)
Zayna, I love watching Princess and LK playing together. He really is an awesome dad.
Thanks, Aliceson. I know we'll get through it. Only 87 more days!
Memories of my first dollhouse are flooding back to me right now! I love it!

Lisa, I always wanted a dollhouse and never got one. But then, my childhood was pretty horrible. I love that I am doing things to give Princess happy memories like you talk about.
