Catching Up

Where to begin.  We finally celebrated Christmas with my family.  My brother hosted Christmas this year.  He has a farm with horses and cows that the kids just love going to see.  We weren't able to ride the horses this time because it was too cold. But that is a selling point to taking the long drive to visit him.  Here is a pic of J with one of the horses...

And here she is with the calfs...

In an earlier post I showed pictures of a shadow box I put together with a can opener.  That gift was for my brother.  It was hilarious watching his reaction when he opened it.  He was laughing so hard.  He asked me where I found it and when my husband told him I made it he was quite impressed.  He said it was put together so well that he just assumed I found it and bought it for him.  I love it when that happens.  It's such a good feeling.

On a different note, earlier this week was J's birthday.  She turned 12.  I made her the following two cards one from mom and dad, and one from her brother MJ.

This year is already flying by.  I can't believe next week is Ash Wednesday and Valentine's day. Wow!!!
