A Few of My Favorite Things

We've had an early Christmas since we are flying back to Idaho.  Grandma and Grandpa Jenks sent Dexter a new Christmas book that he loves, and Grandma and Grandpa Loveless surprised us with a mixer!  We don't have to mix everything by hand anymore!!!  Ashton and I aren't the only ones excited about it either...

Dexter loves it too!

For Dexter for Christmas, I made him a mobile to hang over his crib.  He has never had one and I always felt bad he didn't have anything to look at.  I learned how to make some stars for Christmas ornaments at a Super Saturday activity and when I got home, Dexter grabbed the stars and started munching on them.   Apparently, I made him new toys instead. Then I thought instead of ornaments, they would make a cute mobile so I looked at some pictures, decided what I wanted to try to copy, and made this:

for a grand total of $5!


I love it!

Alison, you are so talented! I am proud of you. I am also jealous of your ambition. (I remember those days.) The mobile is quite cute. I need a closer picture.
Love Mom Jenks
