The boys painted shells for our two dogs (TC and Abbie) and my dad, who passed away, and left them at a tree of remembrance that someone put up on the beach. We spent the rest of Christmas Eve eating lots of snacks and having the kids’ annual sibling gift exchange. They had to shop online this year, but they still loved continuing this tradition together. I also finished Sam & Lennie’s dollhouse renovation with a day to spare! I bought this dollhouse (the before picture is below) on the Facebook Marketplace, and it came with a ton of furniture! I spent the next 3 weeks painting, staining, sealing, sewing, and hot gluing to get it ready for Christmas! I honestly had SO much fun doing this! Now I have to try and stop myself from buying every cheap dollhouse I see… :)
