Is this really the fourth Sunday of Advent?

Our Savior is really coming this week? In many ways it seems like I've been waiting forever for Him to come and rescue me. In other ways there seems so little time to finish preparing. Either way, this recent picture is a perfect representation of our anticipation - our running toward the birth and promise of all Love, all Joy, all Peace. We're no longer waiting, but sprinting....with excitement and pure, unmistakable joy.

Wow, Kristen, that photo does perfectly capture the feeling! Such beautiful, joyful girls! May you and your family have a peaceful, joyful Christmas.

cute dresses! one question, I was looking back at some of your old sewing posts. I would love to know what pattern you use for the sweet little peasant style top that is gathered at the waist - love that outfit and would love to do some for my girls.

SWMBO, the pattern for that peasant top is here. It's actually a dress, but I adjusted it by using only one skirt layer with a single ruffle at the hem (the pattern shows 3 layers!). It's a great pattern. Have fun!
