Christmas

What a holiday!  It was 3 days long for me.  Christmas Eve at my Dad's, Christmas at home with Robbyn and then at my Mom's and the day after at a friend's.  At my Dad's I was also with my Step-Mom and Step-Sister.  We opened our stuff and we all liked what we got.  I got my loom stand so now it will be easier for me to weave.  That was awesome.  It was also nice and easy to assemble. 

Christmas morning was spent with my roommate and the kitties.  Robbyn liked everything I gave her.  I liked what she gave me.  She even surprised me with a glass grinder.  It'll be so much easier to do stained glass here at home now.  Also, we can grind our fused glass pieces here at home then take them in to be fired.  Now to get a Kiln.  That afternoon we went to my Mom's.  It was a houseful with the 2 of us, my Mom, Step-Dad, Grandparents, 2 cousins, Aunt & Uncle.  We all had a blast like usual when we all get together.  Everyone liked what they got again.  The highlight of my day there was the trunk my Step-Dad made me.  It's not here at home yet as it didn't fit in the car, but it'll be here in about a week.  I also got an ergonomic crochet hook.  Now I can start to crochet.  I've tried to crochet and have had no luck at all.  I tried one of these ergonomic ones out about a month ago and loved it.  I was actually able to make a chain that you were able to get the hook back into.  Today I grabbed a book and started to teach myself.  I'm crocheting rather tight  right now, but may end up loosening up as time goes on.  I did the same with my knitting.  I even started a Granny Square.

Today we  (Robbyn and I) also went to our friends house where we were given more presents.  I was given such a cute alarm clock, gift card, and more things.  I got a crochet book with the gift card already and not the one previously mentioned. 

Overall It was a great holiday and had a great time with family and friends.  Now to rest, relax, recover, and get creating for next year.   Oh and all the birthdays in between.  Happy New Year everyone
