Playing catch-up
Hi all!
We had a nice long Christmas vacation, and while I’m sorry to have left you for as long as I did, I’m glad to have had the time to focus on family and trying to get the house back in order after the handmade holiday shenanigans that went on all through December.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the only place in my house that was not an absolute mess on December 26th:
Additionally, you may see less of me on here for a while because we’re down to one computer in the house at present, and that somewhat limits my blogging time. Pray for our sanity, people.
Here’s a rundown of our Christmas, in pictures:
I know I promised tutorials and pictures of all of the wonderful handmade gifts, but in the excitement of finishing them, I forgot to take pictures, and the lighting was bad on Christmas day. You’ll have to live without them for now (though there are a couple of things I’ll make more of, so you can look for tutorials on them in days to come). My New Year’s resolution is to let myself get away with things once in a while, so I’m letting myself off the hook for this. 
My other resolution: each day, in addition to everything we do for Ada, I’m going to do one thing for D, one thing for the house, and one thing for me.
Today’s gift to myself was a trip to the pool with Swimmerbee in her new swimsuit. How was that a gift for me?
Look what I got to look at the whole time!
Happy New Year, all!

Well glad you had enough time to blog a little and make a few breakable resolutions, yours might be a little more durable than the ones I make. Mine have a half life of 3 to 12 hours. Who is the chick in the red jammys? She looks like she enjoyed the Christmas celebration as much as Ada Bee. The photo of your Christmas platter is great. We really enjoyed the handmade gifts, so nice.
I want to swim with her too!!
Just found your site- love it! Your little one is a doll
That rocking horse is awesome by the way!
Chris, I haven’t gotten to officially meet you yet, but I will introduce myself to you. I am Aunt Bonnie, one of Grandma Penny’s sisters. I want to comment how I enjoy your website and all of your talents. You make life more interesting. Thank you. Love, Aunt Bonnie
Hi Aunt Bonnie! I’m so glad you’re getting a kick out of the blog; hope we’ll get to officially meet sometime soon, but until then, I’m happy to introduce you to our family life via the web!
