Christmas Countdown

It's on, the count. My sibs are coming next week! Can't wait!!!! The project countdown is also on. I have 16 left, although that's looking good from the 18 yesterday. I've made serious progress on the Christmas quilt this week. I've been babysitting a friends girl this week so my time has been a lot more kid oriented than usual. My poor kids are used to playing in the sewing room A LOT. Anyhoo, here's some pictures. I had been waiting for a least one comment before I posted again. Thanks Alissa for finally humoring me.




Heres Owen trying to fight off his cousin David. He's two months younger and already crawling circles around Owen. I've been trying to teach him all week. He's in no hurry though, and come to think of it neither am I.
This is our wonderfully fake Christmas tree. My sister will be so disappointed when she gets here. I've considered switching it to a real one, but who wants to undecorate and start all over again?
My dear sweet friends came to visit a couple weeks ago. I got really sick while they were here, boo. They took such good care of me. We managed to make this gingerbread house with Katelyn while Laura was still here. I globbed on the icing and let her put on whatever for decorations. Aren't they pretty? Fun times. I love Christmas it's the best! Oh and did I mention that tomorrow is my birthday? Lots of comments will make me happy:-)

Thanks for the pics, I'll take all I can get. Glad you had a good time with Amy & Laura. The little houses take me back to all your birthday parties past;) Have a wonderful day!

Hi sister, I hope your birthday was wonderful despite the cold. I feel like I am having a party for you but in Ensenada. Lindsay Spang and I made delicious coconut cake. I will have to bake one for you when I am home. I love the new pictures, I can not believe how long Katelyn's hair is now. She looks so yummy, can't wait to see you guys soon. Loves, Felicia
