"Infant"icipating Athena's baby shower at Domina's

Showering baby and mommy with blessings 

Joylynn's kids enjoyed the food and festive decor. The Domina Christmas tree was decorated in pink and white in honor of Athena. Grandma Joanne painted heart shaped ornaments and Grampa Kieth helped with making the bows. He is the one who made the Christmas stockings too!

Presents! 

Stay tuned for more pre-baby pictures and some of the princess herself!

Blast from the past series: Cat show and mini reunion

Genevieve and her Uncle Rylan love cats 

It really is incredible how many different breeds of cats there are. We had a very informative and enjoyable afternoon at the Cat Show.

Spending time with family

Genevieve helped me make some goodies to share at an open house at sister-in-law Anita's house in honor of another sister-in-law, Fia, visiting from Hawaii.

Every little nook and cranny was decorated for the holidays. G'vieve had a magical time exploring it all :D

We shared food and stories and lots of love

Tri-cities Christmas

We celebrated with our Portland kids on the Saturday before Christmas. Harlan, Hayden, Cameron and I headed for the cherry farm to be there for the Holiday.

The day we left, Alyssa's gang in Virginia got the package we sent!

 

The final three grandchildren were wrapped up in the quilts I made for them all.

I made a couple more and had them delivered locally.

Christmas in Eastern Washington!

 

Tam without a kerchief and Har without a cap were headed to bed for a long winter's nap ;0)

 Traditional breakfast out at a restaurant

 We enjoyed not cooking in the morning but more than made up for it by putting out a lovely ham dinner.

 One final quilt project done

A friend of theirs has a son who loves all things John Deere and they asked if I'd make a quilt for his bed. She ordered fabric to be shipped to my house. I finished it in time to bring it with us.

Cherise sent me this picture of his room with the new quilt.

I'm so happy he likes it!
