Every Thursday at Like Mother, Like Daughter

We are still loving the decorations we made for Riley's birthday over the weekend.  They are so pretty!  They are also part of our happy these days, we smile each time we look at them.  She and I had a great morning together working on these.  They were simple and quick to make!  Here's the link if you wish to try them yourself:  http://www.marthastewart.com/how-to/tissue-paper-pom-poms-how-to

This is a happy sight each evening, Daddy and baby snuggled up together, each happy to sit with the other and chat about their day.

I bought these little guys on etsy for a game that my grandma used to set up for her children and grandchildren over the month of December.  The elves find a new hiding place each evening after the children go to bed and the race is on in the morning to be the first to spot the elves.  However, these are vintage elves and not quite up to the imaginative play of a three year old and a five year old.  They are now both headless and in need of repair.  I did take a photo of them in their broken state but it looked too gruesome to post, so here they are, posed and ready for repair!

A much warmer than normal November.  We are NOT complaining about that.  We are staying wimpier longer as a result though.  -21C suddenly feels very cold.  After a week of -30C that will be the new warm.  I am waiting for the "normal" temperatures to return, but at the same time wishing that they hold off until the new year.

Temps in the negative-- goodness! This southern girl wouldn't know what to do! Hope you all are warm! And what a lovely picture of your husband and daughter-- such sweet moments!
