Christmas Knitting

Now that all of the gifts have been given, I can show you all what I knitted for Christmas gifts this year.

For the gals, I knitted Mitts. I think I knitted 11 pair - 2 didn't make the photo session.

For the guys, I knitted 5 of these Noro scarfs. One didn't make the photo.

I also knitted 3 baby sweaters and I seem to have forgotten to take photos of them. I'm already starting to think of next years projects and have a few in mind. They're all a lot of fun to make.

This will make you smile!

Enjoy, and have a great start to the new year!

SANTA'S COMING?

Advent Candle Friends

I think the theme this year for the lighting of the advent candles at our church was "friends". The men from our Supper Club group were asked to light the candle this week. We all were originally members of the same church and they (and us as couples) have been getting together for dinner every month for the past (in February) 29 years.

What a handsome group of guys!!

Most of us were able to go to lunch afterwards. It was a good time.

21 Years Ago...

21 years ago we had this carpet installed...

Yesterday, it was replaced with this...

Now, since I had to empty the floor in all of the closets, I have two huge piles of stuff. One for Goodwill and one for the trash.

Last Week

We had a house full last week. Both daughters, one son-in-law, and one grandson staying for a week! It was a lot of fun. We had 16 adults for dinner and a whole bunch more for a late dessert. We did some shopping, cooking and visiting with friends and family.

There was a visit with one of Baby M's Great Grandmothers,

a visit with cute cousin Baby Bird,

and a snooze with Granddad.

On Saturday, we went to the Texas Tech/Baylor game at Jerry World (also known as the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium). Baby M's first college football game!

We had a great time, even though Baby M thought it was a little loud.....

A Little Ahead of the Game

Today, among other things, I wrapped these,

and these,

and these.

I still have some more gifts to buy, but I think I'm definately ahead of the game.
