Cheers!

As most of you know this was our first Christmas with Miss B.
David had a bone marrow transplant last fall so we skipped Christmas
last year. We made up for it this year. Miss B and Pepe having a toast,
she loves to click glasses and say cheers!

Miss B and Gramie in the tent how would you know? by the tip of a toe!
I just love to hear her giggle.

Miss B was so over whelmed she could have cared less
about opening gifts. She had been opening gifts since the Sunday
before Christmas. Her birthday is Saturday and a whole other
Christmas is on the way with my husband's family which means about
30 people.

And I finished! I had it steamed by 11:30 on the 23 and took it
to work to bind it on the 24th. I made the star on the left a shooting star.
***
It was a wonderful healthy Christmas for us. We had much to be thankful
for this year. It is now snowing and blowing I am home from work with
no energy at all to clean. Maybe if I get dressed and get going I will get something done.

Cheers to you too. That little Miss B is a real charmer. Stay inside today with a mug of hot chocolate and let the storm pass. It's on it's way here later

It sounds like a great time, Cathy! We have twins who have birthdays on Dec. 23! Always a marathon of gift-opening.:-)

Miss B is precious! Enjoy!

Miss B is simply adorable!!! The tent picture makes me giggle because we have the same antic over here. Isn't it funny how kids just love all the hub-bub and opening many gifts doesn't mean as much? We have December birthdays here too and I wish I could change them to summer. So glad David is well and it looks like you had a good Christmas! No matter what, after last year, I'm sure you appreciate it!
Your rug is just gorgeous and will be a Christmas treasure for many years to come. It will, most likely, become Miss B's one day!!
