Year End Wrap Up!
Remember
when I was a frequent blogger? Yeah, me too. I was going to cut it
out but: (a) I find myself referring back to it to remember things the
kids did at certain ages and (b) I can see that
whenever I put up a post a whole bunch of people read it. Only my mom
and my bff usually leave comments. So maybe the blog is coming up in
Russian search engines or something. Or maybe, just maybe, more of our
far away family and friends are reading this than are commenting (gentle
nudge). Regardless, I think I will try to be better at keeping it up
if only for my own memory aid.
So what have I been doing instead of blogging in the evenings whilst watching crappy television? Crocheting!
Bow making!
Neither
of which is as lucrative as lawyering. But I make enough money for
more craft supplies and starbucks. (And I do feel very, very thankful
to be able to be a stay home mom, volunteer at school, etc.)
Another
blogging problem: I haven't been taking many pictures of late. And the
ones I do take are lousy. But the memory card keeps getting filled up
with a lot of these:
And some of these:
So apparently Hannah is enjoying the camera.
Anyway, on with the recap. I can't even find Halloween pictures. But Zoe was a unicorn and Hannah was (obviously) a cheetah.
We made a trip to Massachusetts for Thanksgiving. There was a lot of family and love and visiting. Even Aunty Sarah was there!
And after Thanksgiving turkey Aunty Nancy, Uncle Tom and Gramma had early Christmas for the girls. They were so excited!
December
was getting ready for Christmas at home. Making cookies from packaged
dough because mine are awful. (And Ikea makes some good cookie dough!
As does Trader Joe's!)
Decorating the tree:
And on Christmas morning I awoke to shouts of "He came! He came!" The girls were so happy and surprised and thankful. It was just...awesome!

LOVE Hannah's pictures! Looks like Annie Leibovitz has got some fierce competition! :)
Ummmm .... I would love to comment but have run out of things to say to express my astonishment at KNITTING and HAIR BOW MAKING.
But those girls are awfully cute!! Glad you had a good holiday.
Sorry, I meant crocheting and hair bow making. Is there a difference between crocheting and knitting? I don't know .... but I still enjoyed the post :)
What a Great Idea! Saving life on photos on the computer so faraway Nana's can see her family living their lives - and so happily.
I am finally becoming 'computer literate'.
I still have a small box of my favorite and most treasured art work, drawings, and writings from my kids when then were in kindergarten, grammar and high school.
Kevin had another 'novel idea for an 'ol timer' like me - to scan their art and writing creations thru a scanner. I love that idea. Maybe I could e-mail some of them for, the kids to get a kick out of - of Daddy's creativity when he was around their age.
Love the photos.
Love Mom (Nana)
Thanks Kev, I found the Blog!
James, you are so creative with the yarn.
More later, Love Mom
