Lovely photos! Your children are precious. I was wondering if you would share where you found that wooden bird shawl pin?
Ginny says
My husband Jonny made that!
Jen H says
Amazing! He has a talent! I would love to learn to make one 🙂
Anna Yager says
Ginny, do you get the Magnificat? If not, I hope someone who does will send you the front cover of the December issue because the painting of the Virgin Mary has a face just like yours – beautiful! I’d do it, but I live in Mexico and whether you’d receive the picture in good shape (or at all) is somewhat uncertain. And what a great photo journal of a perfect country Christmas – thanks for taking the time to do this post.
Ginny says
I did get the Christmas issue. I’ll have to take a closer look at the cover!

I was looking at your holiday prep pictures again – are the kids making maple candy? If so can you do a tutorial? I would love to try this with my son. Thanks!
Ginny says
No, they were pouring melted beeswax into molds. I would love to make maple candy though!
Julie says
What a lovely, cozy scene! If those red dresses are form Hann Andersson, I ordered the same ones for my granddaughters Christmas presents. My daughter said they loved them and they looked just as beutiful as your daughters.
Julie says
Arghhh.. the spelling mistakes!
Ginny says
Yes! I ordered them big for last Christmas so they could wear them for two years! They love them!
Cathy says
What nice photos. I so enjoy reading about your family. Happy New Year to you and yours from a fellow Virginian.

What a beautiful set of pictures. Looks like there was much merriment and joy at your house.
Can you tell me what you were making with the molds? Is that wax?
Merry Christmas!
