Quilt

My mom and I started this last February at our Crafter's Retreat. We finished it in October for my cousin's daughter. I was finally able to post a picture because we sent it off for Christmas.

Enjoy your day!

It's Over

Christmas is over. All that hustle and bustle and it's over just like that.

We went down and visited my family for about four days (with a side trip to Cabela's of course). The roads were great and we didn't have too much snow anywhere, but lots of cold. Mom and I took the girls to go see Alvin and the Chipmunks Squeakuel (sp?). It was really cute and we all had a good time. We spent Christmas Eve opening gifts with my brother and his family and then Christmas Day we opened all ours. We surprised the kids with a Wii and they had a blast with it. We got my folks to play MarioKart with us. We left to come home the day after Christmas. We had T's family Christmas yesterday. The kids had a great time seeing each other and everyone seemed to get what they wanted.

I hope you all had a great Christmas and here's to a great New Year ahead!
Enjoy your day!

Merry Christmas!

Here's wishing all of you the happiest holiday and a very Merry Christmas!

Enjoy the day!

Santa is in Town!

Thursday night after watching the lighted Christmas Parade for Winterfest, the kids rushed down to get in line to see Santa and Mrs. Claus. AT had made a wish list at daycare the other day so when it was our turn, he didn't even hesitate. He ran right up to Santa and handed him his list!
Here are some pictures from the Parade. (I missed a few really cool ones because I was trying to use night shot on my camera. Surprisingly, night shot took horrible pictures, but the auto function handled it nicely.)

Enjoy your day!

November's Gone Already?

So much for getting better at updating everyone on what we've been up to, right?

I just can't believe that November flew by so fast. Hunting season started and with it a monster has been created. I thought it was bad enough when T would get up at some outrageous hour to go sit out in the cold and shoot at birds. Now he's got AJ all hyped up about it. In fact, over Thanksgiving she actually burst into tears because T had decided they weren't going the next morning. AD I'm sure would love to be included but is a little too young, plus she's like her mother and likes her sleep! (She had to get in on one of the pictures though.)


T actually got a doe over Thanksgiving break, too, but I failed to get a picture of that.

We had a great Thanksgiving break. My SIL made a great turkey and we had tons of food and dessert. The kids loved playing with everyone. It was nice to take some time off and just enjoy being home. Things have been so crazy lately.

In other news, AT is finally getting it. The potty training is coming along really well. It feels really good to avoid the diaper aisle at the store now. I would say he was ready and he is probably late learning, but it's the end result that matters not the time frame. Right? I couldn't resist the other day when he put on his fireman costume and started dancing around. If school doesn't work out for him, at least he could have a job as a future Chippendale dancer?

Enjoy your day!
