Christmas Slippers


About Thanksgiving, I decided that I wanted to make slippers for our Grandkids.
I called my friend Kathy and she told me how she makes them, and I got a refresher course from my Mom, and started knitting. I started with red, green and white for Anna, Of course, green and yellow for Brett, green and blue for William, a pink/yellow/purple/ for Sarah, and then I started purple ones for Danica, and black and grey for Kaiser. On Christmas Eve, I had to beg forgiveness from Keaton, because I didn't have his done. He picked out green and black for his, and on Sunday the 3rd of January, I finished them. I still owe Kody a pair, and I want some, because mine have holes in them, and I told Carrie I would make a pair for her, however, since I can't even hardly hold a book because my arms ache so bad from all the knitting I did over the past several weeks, that may have to wait a day or two. Next year I vow to start earlier on what I want to do for Christmas, just in case I decide to do something stupid again.

It's all about Family!


Last Saturday, we dragged all of the kids and grandkids to get family pictures taken. Despite the complaining, and the crazyness, they turned out pretty good.
We had a great Christmas, and a fun time with everyone here over the New Year.
David and Jon are now both in Colorado, Carrie and Kaye Lynn are both in Idaho.
