Sigh

The caramel rolls tried to escape before I baked them.  Beer bottle as a size reference (thanks to my SIL).

Escaping Caramel Rolls

But I baked them anyway…

The baking dish really is under there

The rolls turned out a bit doughy but were still very good. 

This Santa plays a mean saxophone and dances.  The twins were a little bit afraid of him so after his solo, he had to take a nap.  Every time Santa’s name popped up, the twins said “Santa tired.  Nap.  Sleeping.”

Jazzy Santa

He slept here…

Sleeping

The presents were unwrapped.

Budding artists

I spent more time playing and watching my family than I did taking pictures.

Christmas Tree 2010

The house is quiet now.  I miss them already.  It’s just Mr. Aitch and me. 

Sigh…

December 23 and a Revelation

To continue with what I did last Friday night…

Red paper with white dots

Now for the Revelation part.

Yesterday while I was at work reheating leftovers for lunch and trying to decide if I should get my knitting out during lunch, I had a revelation.  All knitting projects (except Mr. Aitch’s Musica mitts) are on hold.  I have been knitting feverishly for several days trying to get gift knitting finished for today.  Gift knitting for my co-workers.  Not happening.  I was putting too much pressure on myself and needed a break.  It wasn’t fun anymore. 

My family means more to me than my co-workers.  Sorry, Co-workers, but I don’t think any of you read this blog anyway.  Your Christmas gifts will be finished after Christmas.  Like it or not, that’s the way it is.

Has that ever happened to you?

We had Christmas with my son and his family.  My grandson helped decorate the tree.  If it’s still light when I get home, I’ll post pictures of his skillful placement of the ornaments.

This is what I worked on this past Friday evening:

Red and Black paper
