Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! We had 2 days of Christmas, our main day yesterday, then Dakota was over all day today. The kids got us a TV entertainment center, a beautiful low cabinet that has a swivel bar for the big-screen TV. We moved the whole front room around, something we've talked about but hadn't gotten around to until now. It looks great

The best part of Christmas was having all our children home. The icing was having Mom Farr, Jon and Dakota here over the past 2 days. Dakota received a brand new bike! She was a little scared at first, but once she got on it she wouldn't get off. She rode from one end of the house to the other, over and over. By the end of the day, she'd mastered turning, pumping and stopping.

I made the kids model the stuff I made them, so I'll post the pics tomorrow. Everyone seemed happy about their gifts- I made Heather mittens and a scarf; Nic a sweater from the knitting machine, and Jared got the argyle, reversible scarf. Dakota got a backpack that looks like a sun. I tried to talk David into something homemade, but not this year. I have visions of the crazy Christmas sweater in Bridget Jones' Diary. The poor guy bravely wore the sweater his Mom made, even though it was a hokey Christmas colored thing with a star or candy cane on the front. I try to make stuff that's a little more 'cool' or in style, but who knows?

Well, I have to go to bed, tomorrow we take Heather and Jared back to the airport. I'm really sad about that, but they both have to go to work on Monday. At least flying back on Saturday gives them a day to regroup, get over jet lag and prepare for the week ahead. Waah, I miss them already!
