We had a wonderful Christmas day. We started by spending 2+ hours on Skype, watching the excitement of the morning at our younger son's home. Our grandson, who will be 6 next month was practically bouncing off the walls with excitement. He read all the tags on the gifts, and then helped everyone unwrap them! He loved everything, from the smallest item to the clothing. His little sister, who turned 2 in September, finally figured out how to unwrap her gifts. She has been playing with baby dolls, both at home and at daycare, so we gave her a doll crib, with an attached highchair on one end. I made a foam mattress for it, covered in flannel, and crocheted a blanket for her doll. She was a busy girl, tucking the baby in, singing a song, then waking her up and feeding her in the high chair. Apparently, when it was time for her to go to bed, she had to have the doll crib moved into her room before she would go to sleep!
We spent the rest of the day watching Christmas movies, and talking to friends and family. We miss seeing our southern friends, but we are happy they are keeping safe and healthy.
I made roast beef, with roasted potatoes, brussel sprouts and a small version of my turnip (rutabaga) and apple casserole. It was a lazy day.
We had a green Christmas, as we have had rain for a few days, but during the night, the temperature dropped and we have a lovely white covering of snow everywhere this morning!
I started another quilt, using a 3 yard quilt pattern. I have the blocks completed, and hope to get the top sewn together today.
DH decided that today was a good day to defrost our small chest freezer, so we took the time to make a good inventory of all the items as we returned them. They are also a bit more organized, so it should be easier to find things, I hope!
Pictures to follow later.......
