Early Christmas

     We are going to Idaho for Christmas and there was no way that we were going to be able to take the Addi as well as the presents.  We opted to open presents early instead of leave the Addi bear :).  Addi got toys from Grandma and Grandpa that she loves to look at.  She is not quite old enough to work them properly but she loves it when they make noises and flash lights.  My dear Will got me a camera and a baby sling.  I love the camera.  The sling took a bit to get used to but now both me and Addison like it.  Its nice having two hands and still being able to carry Addison.   My parents gave me some shelves so finally I will have some sort of decorations on my walls!
      For Christmas I made Will this quilt out of some of his Dixie State t-shirts.  I had to go to my aunts house for many many hours to get this done.  Once I finally got it all sewed together we had to quilt it.  My aunt has a friend who let us use her basement to set the quilt frame up.  We quilting for 13 hours that day and finished hand quilting three pretty big quilts.  My finger tips were bruised for days after.  I have found that I really enjoy quilting and making something sweet out of stuff. 
    






After opening presents we wrapped up in blankets watched movies and napped the rest of the day. 
It was lovely. 
Now to pack for the freezing cold Idaho weather.
