Here are a few pix from our little Christmas Day celebration. The girls (Pia & Katie) came over and we exchanged gifts and had breakfast. We missed our VA-ers!!! The gifts given and received were perfect, Santa must have been listening this year.
I think Katie's favorite gift was the 'dog print' ornaments Cara sent from VA. They even had some authentic dirt and hair on them. Car said it took her about 10 tries to get Lois and Walt's paws immortalized. Good crafting, Car!
I went all "Martha" on the girls, and made them this
basket using a favorite sweater of Pia's that had gotten felted in the washer. It turned out really cute! Then I loaded the sweater-basket with a lot of yarn so they'd have plenty of materials for winter knitting projects.
I knit Skyn a pair of fingerless gloves for snow-shoveling. Unfortch, I accidently made them both left handed, but he's so nice he didn't mention it. Or maybe he has two left hands? Kind of like Eugene Levy in "Best in Show"...
The girls feigning extreme excitement while opening their presents.
More excitement while cooking our breakfast.
Here's the cute new Santa they gave me. A fine addition to the collection!

We had a fun morning with you mom. Perfect presents all around. I especially loved the waffles.
Is Pia a Spode collector? fun times.
she is now! I have been slowly adding the Spode Xmas Tree items to my own collection, and P. got her first piece this year.
Spode? WTF, are you two talking about? Looks like fun and love that Car sent Kate paw prints...I can imgagine the hilarity that ensued trying to get those dogs to cooperate. Very, very sweet pics Lavs.
