So this past Christmas both sides of our family decided to do a "present-less Christmas". This was decided for multiple reasons but the main reason was to help everyone save some money. Well there were some exceptions on both sides. On my family's side: we did Secret Santas for the pet babies! This is a tradition that we have been doing every year and I.LOVE.IT!
 |
| Puppies got their favorites: treats, from the "kitty cousins" (I've already stated that yes, I am that kind of pet person) |
 |
| My sister's cat, Claude and his Christmas T and furry mice from Hank |
 |
| My parents' cat, Lightening and his Christmas sweater :) |
Well the obvious exception on Matt's side was our neice. It was her 1st Christmas and there was no way I was going to not make something extra special! So I decided to make her a quilt after seeing specialty fabric found on etsy. Well I had never made a quilt before so I decided to enlist the help of my mom, who is amazing at sewing.

| The fabric all cut and getting pieced together |
