Today was the first day of vacation for the boys and as such I didn’t see them very early. That gave me plenty of time to jump on the exercise machine and knit another coffee cozy. My collection is growing but I have a few more to go until I get to 30. Bill went […]
Today was a full day! Bill and I went for a nice long walk along the river. We had a great time talking and catching up on how our weeks went. We ran into our friends, Kristy and Brian, and exchanged updates on life and our kids. Our boys are classmates with theirs, Ethan and […]
Mason and Bill sneaked off a few days ago and bought each one of us ornaments to commemorate this year. We added them to the tree as we decorated today. First, I received a dated 2020 Precious Moments, Every Bunny Loves a Christmas Hug, and then a Wonder Woman Rocks guitar which plays a version […]
Before Christmas season 2019 ends and all the decorations come down, I want to highlight our ornaments from this year. My 2019 Precious Moments ornament is titled, “Have a Heart-Warming Christmas.” Walker’s is the 2019 Super Mario ornament and Mason’s was the Infinity Gauntlet. It was such a perfect choice for him and consequently, it […]
This was the first year that all the gifts have been placed under the tree as they were wrapped and ready and boy, were the kids ready to see what was inside of them. I am still hoping that one day I’ll be able to make and use fabric gift bags (like these I made […]
For as long as I can remember, the scouts from Troop 330 have had a very important Christmas eve duty. They are responsible for prepping the walkway at church with luminaires. It is not hard work but the more hands on deck, the faster it goes. We were blessed with an amazing day weather-wise. It […]
We were a little slower on the uptake this year with our tree but I finally got it up and decorated. I also made this little gift for a knitting friend who is fighting cancer. I have not made many ornaments so this teacup was a fun opportunity to do something new and different. I […]
This year Bill’s colleague Tony and his wife Nieva hosted the annual Christmas party in the Carriage House at The Reitz Home. This is a historic Victorian house that belonged to one of Evansville’s legacy families. The residence is always worth a visit as it’s filled with history but at Christmas, it’s even better. Each […]
Tonight was Mason’s Christmas band concert and our last one at that! I love this photo of Caden, Mason and Martin. Until about a year ago, all three of these trumpet players lived within a stone’s throw of each other. They could have had a jam session, but they never did. These boys have been […]
What a wonderful Christmas celebration we had! Bill and I were up before the boys and had time to shower and make breakfast before the boys padded to the living room. Mason’s stocking was filled with Simpsons and Batman mystery Lego minifigs and a new ornament and Walker’s with Fantastic Beasts and an ornament as […]
