The best part about celebrating Russian Christmas on Jan. 7th is that anything you don't have ready for the American celebration can be saved for Russian Christmas! I started making the girl's Christmas dressed in early Nov. but didn't finish them in time- luckily we had Russian Christmas to look forward to. I also made matching dresses for their American Girl dolls. It was quite ambitious, and I spent many a night stressing out about it- just ask Patrick who was trying to watch tv as I sat there cursing my sewing machine- but it is so much fun for me to see them in their matching clothes...

Here are the girls dressing their dolls for Russian Christmas.
