Our traditional stair photos for the kids.  I have done this since Karina and Lauren were little.  I love those photos!  As you can see, Isabella and JW got new bikes for Christmas!  A couple days after Christmas they were out riding them with Papa, Nate, and Caroline.  

They LOVED their new bikes.  We had the Disney parade on television and ate breakfast while we waited for Karina, Jackson, Caroline and Nate to arrive.  That is when the chaos starts!  This is Christmas with our little family of 10!  

Today is the day for quilts and good friends!

Today is the start of Martha Washington's Quilt Show!  It is exciting to see all the new quilts that have been made by members and other quilters.  Everyone in my family makes quilts.  We love them for cuddling in winter and for a pretty bedcover or wall hanging.  If I quilted all day long for the rest of my life I would never finish all the quilts I want to make.  Today my friend Sherle and I will visit the show.  We will oogle and aaaw over all the beautiful quilts and have a great lunch.  We will visit my family's booth too.  They sell beautiful tee shirts and gifts related to quilting and the coming holidays.  I can't wait!  I will be taking photos of our favorites and posting them here later.  Have a wonderful day doing something your heart loves!
