And now to clean up.....

Hope everyone had as wonderful a Christmas as we did!!! There were a few snags but all in all it was just grand! Would you believe that this was the first Christmas in our married life (nearly 41 years) that we didn't have a child or grandchild living with us! A very different and quiet Christmas morning but the children all came home for at least part of the day and it was wonderful having them all home for Christmas!This was the smallest Christmas tree we have ever had but there were lots of gifts under and around it!Each year this little angel tree is in the den. Only angel ornaments on this one and ornaments that represent those in our family who celebrate with Jesus.Luke's first Christmas and of course he visited Santa. We'll see if this visit is as quiet next year!

This is Joy's husband, Joe, and my precious David! Hasn't David grown up! And such a handsome fellow to me! I am so proud of him. This is the little Christmas quilt I made for Luke. It is very simple but I'm not much experienced in fancy quilting. Since Joy moved, I'm setting up her room for my hobbies so maybe I'll have a place to practice instead of the kitchen table. We'll see if I get any better at quilting.

And finally, my doll baby - Cassie! Oh my how she has grown. She got so many toys she hardly knew what to do. We gave her a drum set!!! She loved it but I don't know how long it will last at her house. He parents were not exactly thrilled! I took that drum set out of the box, put it together and discarded the box so they couldn't take it back to the store. I just LOVE being a grandparent!

Christams is all packed away for another year and I'm trying to usher in the new year but seeing as many football games as I possibly can. Of course, the BSC championship game with Alabama is coming up and so here is a great big ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!
