Christmas Calendars

When Beth and Sarah were small, my mother (Grandma Hall) gave them a Christmas Advent Calendar that she made. It was so cute! It was made from felt and in each little pocket there was an ornament to put on the tree.

She must have loved sequins because EVERYTHING had sequins on it. There was the little train at the bottom of the tree....
Each ornament was adorable and sequinney and cute...


Each day during December, the girls would look forward to putting an ornament on the tree. Actually I STILL look forward to it! Here's what it looks like with all the ornaments.

SO I had to make one for Camryn and Emery (and their siblings)!


Honestly, mine are not as detailed, but I think they turned out nicely.






Love, Gigi
PS: Grandma Hall also made elaborate Christmas tree skirts, which I will NOT be doing !

    They look great! I'm sure they'll be as important to our girls' Christmases as your Mom's was to our family's. (Yes, Camryn and Emery are now "the girls", or "our girls"!)

    They are beautiful! I look forward to all the memories Emery will have of putting the ornaments on the tree just like I have (but maybe without the fights over who gets to put Santa up) :)
