In the desert

Merry Christmas!

Miss S had a fun first Christmas. She likes her shopping cart OK, and her first doll a LOT! She started saying doll within just a few minutes of receiving it.

Mr. L got a pirate ship he can ride, and has already figured out how to push it along with his feet.

I must admit, Christmas is my favorite holiday. It's a day to celebrate the birth of my Savior, spend time with family and friends, and eat all kinds of goodies. When my kids were little, we made gingerbread houses, and I decorated the house a lot more than I usually do now. Maybe next year the twins will be big enough to decorate some little gingerbread houses!

We do all of our celebrating on Christmas Eve, and last night was a lot of fun. I ended up needing 12 stockings, so we ended up purchasing one, but I think I'll make more for next year, since we are always picking up extra people for holidays. I hate to see anyone not have someplace to go for any holiday.

Today is a quiet day. DH is working, hoping no one will need to come to the emergency room today, but glad to be there to help if they do. I am thinking I will watch a couple movies, eat some yummy leftovers, and maybe play a little in my sewing room. I got some new fabric in my stocking, and a nice comfy chair for my second sewing cabinet.

I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas too!
