December 7

My Christmas present to myself. I Love it. When I bought this canvas picture I had a place in the house in mind for it. Now that it is here, I think I like it too much for that out of the way place. So for now it is still wrapped in plastic, sitting in the kitchen. Soon enough I will find a place of honor to hang it.

Leila is left handed, just like her mama. Cory always jokes about how he hopes that at least one of them turns out "right." It looks like he got his way.

Lazy Sunday.

I like to sew. I really appreciate being able to see something that I think is neat, and recreate it for myself and my family. Every Christmas I have big plans to make gifts. This year I set my goal pretty low as far as homemade gifts go. I spent a couple of hours making some cold packs for the accident prone little people in the family. Leila has one that Grandma Sandi gave to her a couple of years ago and it has served us well. Hopefully the little nephews in the family will get some use out of these as well.

The view from my first of hopefully a whole lot of trips around the track at the new gym. Momma needs to drop some pounds.

December 2

These tender moments seem to happen less and less. The girls are getting very good at pushing at each other's buttons, but after a trip to visit Santa at the mall Leila must have been in the holiday spirit as she fed her sister grapes at the food court.

I should have known that the Christmas tree would be too enticing for Thea. Looks like the ornaments are going to be moving on up out of little girl reach!
