Christmas Time Again

It's that time of year again, Christmas tree hunting. Now I have to admit because I am about ready to pop and could not go climbing in the mountains, I was a little worried when Marcel and Robie went chasing after a tree that "looks pretty good from here". Now Robie has not done much of the the tree hunting, his family usually went with fake trees or ones from lots/farms. So yes I was a little worried when the boys disappeared from view and a little while latter I heard the saw fire up. But, I have to say I will never doubt his tree finding abilities again, they found the cutest little tree that fits perfectly in the corner of the living room.



I took us a little while longer to find mom and dads tree, but after lots of hunting (road hunting on my part) we found'em one.





After getting it home and a few tries to get it to stay upright (we need a new stand apparently) our Christmas decorations are complete.

Valentines Weekend Part One

I had a very busy Valentines weekend, most of it spent at the Ice Rink. Friday night I finished a sewing project I had been trying to complete all week, I found the fabric at JoAnns and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Ta Da!



Not the best picture, I will have to see if I can get a better one, but when you live in a cave of an appartment this is what you get. (If it is so bad you can't tell, it is a half apron with a ruffle at the bottom....)

Second, my wonderful Mother-in-law let me 'borrow' her old KitchenAid! I have wanted one for as long as we have been in our own place, going on three years? It is in perfect working order and she even had a few extra attatchments to throw in. She has a second larger one that she uses and this one had been in a box in storage.



Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

My eye is twitching from lack of sleep and I am supposed to be working, so the second part of my weekend will have to come later...
