We had a Fairy Merry Christmas, and I hope that you did too. On the Day Before the Night Before Christmas (the title of one of our favorite songs around here), we had the girls here for a sleep over.
They decorated bottle brush trees in the studio, then decided to fix up the Gingerbread house for the fairies that live on our Fairy Berry Trail through the woods.
It got a whole new set of furniture, made of graham crackers.
After the painting/gluing in the studio and the icing/sprinkle excitement in the kitchen, we decided a bubble bath was in order. I poured them all (plastic) flutes of sparkling juice and filled the tub with Sugar Plum Fairy bath salts.
Calliope said that she felt like a princess. That gave us the idea to surprise them all with a princess party after their soak. The Hippy Chick ran upstairs and found some dress up clothes that were appropriately royal and had them laid out for the girls to slip into when they were done bubbling.
Of course, our girls lean toward the fairy side of "fairy princess".
Our tiniest sprite got to play a little dress up, but fell asleep before the other festivities began.
It was girl's night at the hot chocolate party.
One of the fun parts of the party is mixing your cocoa just the way you like it. We serve warm milk in teapots, and pass around Giradelli chocolate, mini marshmallows, shaved white chocolate with peppermint, candy canes, and for the moms, some Kaluha.
It was special. I'm lucky to have all these little girls to play dress up with. They are pretty sweet.
and now for the winner of my Christmas Secret Surprise Giveaway! Its a hand painted and decorated box with a nesting, ephemera covered bird on it. Pretty for the holidays, but not so Christmassy that you can't leave it out all winter. I'll fill it with some home made bath salts and send it to…..

Congrats to the winner! Karla, you family is so much fun, can you adopt me? The baby can’t be that big already! She is growing so fast! Your girls are all so beautiful and extremely blessed to have you to make their lives special. Have a wonderful day!
What would you ever do with a grandson?
You are amazing beyond belief. The girls will always remember times like this, and know you enjoyed them as much as the girls. Christmas is love, and you exude love, and touch the hearts of everyone around you. (I am available for adoption.) Including Hippy Chic in your festivities brings tears of joy to my heart.
Happy New Year to a precious person whom I have never met in person, but feel like we are besties.
I love it! What fun to have such a great party! Such memories are priceless! Thanks for sharing your wonderful Christmas!
Hugs, Lisa
A wonderful holiday! You know the girls will never forget it! Ever!
What a beautiful tradition with such precious girls! Have a wonderful Christmas week! xxoo Heidi
Oh Karla, I bet it was such fun. My little girl wouldn’t wear a fairy princess dress if I paid her to. I guess I’ll live vicariously through your fairy babies. Hoping you had the best christmas ever.
