Christmas Day

I just wanted to express the joy and love I have for each and everyone one of my family and friends. We are so richly blessed with good health and a wonderful family. I had so much fun making a few presents for some of our family. I couldn't show them earlier because it would have spoiled their surprise.
Christmas was a wonderful day. Almost all of our children were here, I got most of the shopping and sewing done early which helps me so I'm not stressed out. I really had a fun time making a couple of the kids and one grandson quilts. It was hard getting Tiffany's done because she pops in so often and I really wanted it to be a surprise. She had cut up all of her old cheer shirts from 4 years of doing cheer a few years ago but didn't know how to put them together. I didn't either so it was trial and error. I ripped the whole thing apart three different times before I finally liked it.
Trevor, Brandi and Bentley's were a challenge at the last because my sewing machine went on the blink (the computer chip died) so I was finishing up the one night they both worked while we were in Texas at Thanksgiving. I finished them about 10 minutes before Trevor walked in from work. I think if I do quilts I will need to start earlier in the year. They take longer than I thought they would but I'm happy with the end results. Colten is already requesting a levi quilt but I will have a couple of years to work on his.
Christmas eve we had our own little Mary and baby but couldn't get the rest of the Nativity together.
Yum, yum this puzzle is sure yummy I think every toy ought to be eaten.
