Family Get Together

We had John's family Christmas party this past weekend. Here's a pic of the grandkids. John's mother couldn't make the party as she was home sick with the flu.
We adults do a Yankee Swap which ends up being alot of fun. This year, both Jared and Kaylee got into the Yankee Swap. We all ended up with some pretty nice gifts even with all the exchanging going on.




Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. We will be going to my sisters house for Christmas Day to be with everyone. My sister, Bren, will drive up from Maryland.

Merry Christmas

Santa Clause

I found this blog, thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com, recently and knew I needed to make the following Santa Clause! She has a tutorial on it also! How cute is that! I have a few more to make and then I'll put them on my mantel.

Goodies in the Mail

Here's some goodies that have come in the mail! The other day, my purse with goodies came from Cyndi, bluebirdswing.blogspot.com. She was having some giveaways and I won this gorgeous purse! Can't wait for spring to use it!




Today, I received my mug swap from Jennifer, from gypsyhillquilts.com! Thank you Jennifer! Love how she did the word Cheer in the mug rug! Oh, and the chocolate! Yummy! The mug is so cute too!



I've been busy making some pillowcases to put gifts in. Trying not to use so much paper! Hope your all having a great day!
