Birthday Wishes

Today is my sister's birthday.  I wish her a wonderful day.  I texted with her early this morning.  She drove back from AZ yesterday and we had several hilarious conversations to help keep her awake.  She is a great sister and I am lucky we are friends.
Christmas was wonderful!  We celebrated the weekend before in TX with kids and grand kids.  Then we celebrated at home with more kids and grand kids.  Lots of family, food, and fun.  Thank you to all our kids and grand kids for all that you did for us.  I enjoyed each of you.
The Christmas decorations are down and I got back to Weight Watchers (WW) after a two week absence and found that I put on 1.6 pounds.  I would like to say it was all my family's fault, but I am in control and I put it in my mouth!  I need to stop putting it in my mouth.  I am getting back on track.

Quilting

Close-up of the materials.

Ken and I got the grocery shopping done and he had to go replace a door jam. I have almost got a quilt quilted.  I really like this quilt.  It was fun to design, sew, and now I am enjoying quilting it.

Austin and Nichole are moving into their new house today.  It is a beautiful house and I am so excited for them.  They will get to sleep in their new house tonight if they can find the sheets!  LOL!  I know they will be so happily tired at the end of today!
My break is up.  I must get the quilt finished!  Have a great day sis, I love you.

Christmas Break Starts!

Close up of my door this month.

I am still around.  I have been very busy with several Christmas functions, school, and family duties.  Today was the last day of school and I am TIRED!  It was also party day with an impromptu visit from Santa.  That is exciting, but it sure throws everything off when we have been watching the reindeer's live cam feed and he says the reindeer are visiting the horses at St. Gregory.  Then we go to a program and they have a black Santa.  Well, one of my little girls didn't mince words she stood up and said in a nice loud clear voice "That is not Santa because he is black".

Luca speaking at sorority.

We had a busy weekend.  Saturday morning I hosted sorority at our house for 20.  After we ate we played dirty Santa with ornaments and one lady left and let Luca do her choosing.  Then Luca went to a swim party with another dirty Santa game.  Then Saturday evening we hosted the management people of the mall and played dirty Santa again.  Luca couldn't believe he played dirty Santa 3 times in 1 day.  Well, little did he know, but he was going to get to play again on Sunday evening when we went to the mall employees party.  This included dinner and you guessed it dirty Santa!
I plan to get up tomorrow and go work out and enjoy getting some last minute shopping, wrapping, and sewing done, but not in that order.
I have a couple more things done in the sewing room, but I still need to figure out 1 more storage area.  There is another shelf that Ken has to finish and a picture Kayla got me to hang, a thread storage I want built, and a shelf that needs to be put in the cabinet Haley gave me.  I will be reminded of both of you girls when I am in my room sewing!
I have been trying to contact the doctor's office for two weeks.  I only think about it after it is to late or to early.  Maybe tomorrow...  She changed my meds and now I am actually sleeping, but I feel more tired, and my mouth is dry as the dessert.
