Christmas part 2
Posted on 22 January 2010
My family celebrated Christmas the day after. We have a large blended family and when you add significant others + 1 kid it gets even more exciting and maybe a bit over stimulating.
This was actually taken Christmas eve as my mom put the finishing touches on Sam’s Christmas dress before we left.

Sewing really does run in my genes. I think that I’m at least a 4th generation sewer/quilter.
"oohing" over something
There was some jewelry received though I’ve taken it back until I can investigate that recall I heard about for kids jewelry.
Frosty!
A frosty doll was found at the store and she just loves it. She has really gotten into it this year and all snowmen have now become “Frosty.”

Sarah and I helped Sam make t-shirts for her aunties the week leading up to Christmas. It is funny to look at the 3 shirts because each one is so very different. The aunties (bless them) were excited to receive them and were duly impressed with their hand-made gift.

2 quilt tops were given that day. Laura’s quilt and a quilt for Dana who was the sister I got to buy for this year. She got married this fall and since we hadn’t yet gotten them a gift I figured I’d kill 2 birds with one stone this way.

I started quilting it today, but that is a story for another day
banished
We always have snacks during Christmas and this year there was shrimp cocktail on the menu. Someone was having a hard time resisting the temptation and was summarily banished to the back porch. She was not at all happy about that fate, though she was given some shrimp later in the day.
bidding
The day ended with a friendly (albeit somewhat competitive) game of poker. Sam even got into the action.
