End of Year

So I had planned to do a nice big end of year wrap up post, but that didn't happen. Instead, I'll just post some pictures of the last week. Christmas here was very merry - I got wonderful stuff from everyone (a big THANK YOU to all of you).
Check out all that loot! Seriously, next year we really need to scale it back a bit I'm thinking. That was before the opening, and afterwards the right side remained untouched, and we spread it out for when the Perryites would arrive later on.
After dinner at Aunt Ginny's we all met up at the house for the rest of Christmas. Lots of good stuff. There were a bunch of hats knitted and gifted:
Didn't manage to get a picture of Elliott in his, and that was the best we got of the other boys. Warning - the next photo is slightly PG-13.
The infamous reindeer hat. As my sister requested, to match the infamous Mittens of Doom. And that is it for the knitting of reindeer/moose for a good long while.

The kiddos did get some good toys - never mind that there was a no toy rule this year.
That may not actually qualify as toys - are musical instruments toys? Nah, we'll count them as educational. Next time the Jersey kids come to visit they can put together a band, with the drum that Sarah got (she's good, she demonstrated for us on the video call).
Next post I promise to show some knitting - there's been some going on here and hoping to get more done. Hope everyone has a very happy, healthy, safe New Year, and I'll see you in '010.
