Recovering

We are still recovering from the holidays, which were great. We got to see lots of family and got some great loot, including a Wii. I highly recommend a Wii, if you can get your hands on one. Loads of fun, especially playing Rayman Raving Rabbids. I mean, you get to throw a cow!

The dogs also got toys, several each. Here you see them pictured with the presents from their paternal grandparents:

Soon it will be time to take the decorations down. I'm ready. :)

Crochet content

I bet y'all thought I'd forgotten how to crochet. Nope.

I made a bunch of flower brooches for one of my sisters-in-law for Christmas.

I did take a knitting class last month, and I'll be taking another in January. Knitting's OK, but it's awfully complicated. Crochet is much simpler. That'll still be my primary yarn craft, but it's been interesting learning how to knit.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and a happy new year from Spike, Cordy, Kaylee, Jeff & Jessica.

Merry Christmas Eve!

It's almost here!

Have a good holiday!

Puppet theatre

We've been busy getting ready for the holidays around here, and one of the things we did was make a puppet theatre for one of our nieces. I designed it, Jeff built it and painted it, and I made the curtain. So really, Jeff did most of the work.

It's really hard to get a photo of it because of the paint. The black is chalkboard paint, and it just sucks up the light. But you get the idea.

Jeff did a great job. Thanks, Jeff!

First snow of the year

And he doesn't look to happy about it.

It was probably only about 3-4 inches, but you would think it was a blizzard the way people were acting. Yeesh. It's just a little snow!

Happy Birthday, DKM!

Go wish DKM a happy birthday!

The holidays are upon us!

(Mom, this is the tree we bought today. :)
