♥ Christmas Dresses...

This year for the girls Christmas dresses I went with very simple, easy and just used fabric that I already had on hand... This is Emma's...

Eliza...

Olivia... All of this fabric is stuff that my grandma gave me last summer and Olivia's is actually one of those; on the fabric pre-patterned things... and was supposed to be an adult apron so I just took it and made it into a skirt and them used the same pattern for Emma and Eliza's bodice for Olivia's and attached it. I like how it's a little fuller for the skirt part... I had Olivia try it on and she danced and twirled around and then had to show off to Joe. Not too bad for an apron huh!

Lastly I made doughnuts... I just used the Pillsbury biscuits and pulled them apart then used cinnamon sugar and also on some of them I used dry vanilla pudding and it was really good. If you use the big biscuits watch out they take a long time to cook all the way through...
