Decorating

We haven’t done much decorating inside yet, but Pop and Leo have the outdoor lights up, along with the inflatables. (Although I think somebody bought a new 6’ one today and tried to sneak it in…)

I moved my two Christmas cacti outside a few months ago and they have gone crazy with blooms. They looked so sad indoors - what a change!

Bought this figuring Donovan would enjoy putting it together. But the Lego Master isn’t showing much interest so I may have to bribe him… maybe ice cream would work??


A Christmas fish! And his dinner friend. Who knew they were so colorful! Actually, if I asked them, Jac and Donovan would both say they knew that and give me lots more (mostly accurate) deep sea fish facts.

Thankful

Thankful for many things but especially that most of our kids live nearby and we get to see them - and their kids - often. 


Grateful that the CO branch has a professional quality photographer on the payroll (aka Mom) 

and we get photos often, although it’s mostly of the (very photogenic) teenager. 

It’s a rule - if you have a yarn bowl you are officially a crocheter.

I’m promised a full family shot this weekend… no pressure, Rach…

Picking apples

Sad we had to share Matt’s family with Memaw-on-the-mountain

Santa’s Village

(what Donovan calls Mary’s mom) 

and Leia is in Cabo with her mom (swimming with dolphins!!),

but very happy they are living their best lives.

Grateful for all who take the time to read these posts too.

Wishing all y’all a very happy start to the holiday season.

Just Me?

Anybody else wait until days before a holiday to start a new holiday-specific project?

One block down, 11 to go

Christmas, Halloween, 4th of July - it’s a habit. 

Oh well. Hoping I can finish this before the weekend is over and enjoy it next year… when I’ll probably have started another new project…

Egg Hunt

Leia was at her mom’s, but these three had a great time searching for eggs and enjoying treats left by the Big Bunny.

That’s A Wrap

Such a fun day. Light rain, warm fireplace, and lots of laughs, food and presents. Hope all who celebrate had a joyous Christmas. 



Organized (?) Chaos:

 Donovan’s dragon from Auntie Rachel - big hit!

 She fits, so she still sits 

 The Batcave is almost as tall as he is

 Kids and cats like boxes best

 My first ever sports jersey

 The Batcave has an elevator!

The Food:

 These took forever but sooooo worth it!
