The usual attire for knitting night. I took the girls out with me for a knit. Jolie took one of her books to read besides just looking cute! and Olivia took .....
the remainder of the yarn that she had from knitting her first sock! She started the sock in the a.m. and finished it in the early p.m., same day. As you can see it really does fit and it really is a sock!
Popcorn balls! I have never in all my life made popcorn balls. I know, hard to believe isn't it? So the other day I was trying to come up with a way to entertain the kids and the thought, "Popcorn balls" flew threw my mind and out my mouth before I could rethink the entire situation. I was aghast that I'd actually said, "Popcorn balls" and didn't have the faintest idea on how to back out of it without causing a small person riot amongst my children. So popcorn balls quickly became the googled term and I learned that they really aren't that hard to make! The biggest issue..... is how not to get burned by the hot sugar. Next on my list of todo's are, believe it or not, rice krispy treats.
Now this is the snow that wasn't in the forecast. We ended up with about 1.5" in all. If you can, please feel free to pull up the picture and REALLY take a look at it. Do YOU! notice anything unusual about it?
One year, just one year I'd like to have everyone together for this picture. WOW! What a picture that would be. Everyone decked out in their "christmas eve" p.j's sitting together enjoying the evening. That would be 6 more people included in this picture. hummmm. Well, there's nothing wrong with dreaming.....This is the one picture each year that I really look forward to having done.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Looks like a very merry Christmas! Love all the jammies - and on Bonnie and Jessica's crew too. Didn't see any snow in the foothills - is that the trick?
Becky, You got it! There is no snow on the foothills above our altitude. I've only seen this one other time while living here and before I could get a picture, it melted. We had one day of socked in weather where it snowed these tiny little flakes. By 9 a.m. the next day the vast majority of this was gone. Very pretty though.
