A few belated Christmas shots

My Uncle Greg sent these two shots to me the other day. They were taken on Christmas day at my Aunt Linda and Uncle Howard's house for dinner. Great shots Greg, thanks so much for sharing them.

My first Quilt

I made my first quilt from start to finish yesterday with the help of some lovely friends. Dana Davies helped me to design the quilt and Elaine Robinson helped me to cut out all the fabric and guide me in my sewing. This quilt is small (2 feet by 3 feet). It started off as a doll quilt for my daughter but I think I am just going to use it as a lap quilt for myself. :) It's a little too big for a doll but too small for Charlotte. Anyways...I am very proud and thankful for the help that I had. Thanks also to miss Joni for the cutting mat that I was so generously gifted and thanks to Janice with her help on getting my binding ready as we ended up being in a rush at the end. I had a lot of fun and really appreciated all the help and teaching. :) This is just a preview for what is to come in the future. :) I may have a new hobby on my hands. :)

A few random photos

Christmas Eve Morning

These two videos are of Charlotte on the morning of 12/24/10. We don't know what she is saying but she was saying it over and over all morning. Thought you might enjoy seeing her. Merry Christmas everyone.

Preparing for Christmas

My friend Raeann (www.rositadesigns.com) prepared this beautiful one of a kind Christmas card for us. :) I wanted to share it with everyone. Have a wonderful month shopping and preparing for the holiday. :)

Charlotte and Evelyn

We had a mini PEPS reunion on Saturday. We have not seen Jamie and Evelyn in almost 10 months and they came up from Gig Harbor to visit us for our weekend PEPS meeting. We were only missing Eli. :( Everyone had a good time. From left to right: Christo, Evelyn, Charlotte, Avery, Julia, and Sai.
