Look at our 6 month old, Luke....doesn't his crib look like a fun place to be? I have been enjoying watching him every Monday while Stef works a half day for her hubby. We go for walks when it's nice out and shopping at the shops in Mt. Vernon. We've also visited the Art Gallery two times. The downtown area is really cute.
My granddaughter, Maya, made me this clay turkey for Thanksgiving. He's sitting on top of the butter dish with his bead legs crossed at the ankles. I love this little creation and am so proud that she wants to be crafty at the age of 8. She'll actually be 9 on the 20th and we'll celebrate her birthday this Saturday.
Here's the live Kelly tree this year. It's 13' tall and looks much better standing. Mark had it all up (he even puts all the lights and ornaments on by himself) on December 6th. On the 11th it fell over onto that coffee table you see at the bottom of the tree and just missed falling on me and Luke who were to the right of that area rug. It layed there for a day until he came back from his out of town monthly poker trip to Alliance, Ohio. It took Mark 4 hrs. to resurrect the tree, sweep up all the needles, sop up the water and throw away the broken ornaments. He decided my suggestion to wire the tree up to the windowsill was a good idea (which I suggested before the tree fell) and it is now secure. We couldn't even blame the tree falling on any of the pets because they weren't around it when it happened....although Ivy found the catnip container and opened it all over the carpet yesterday....Cosette thought that was a fun idea and rolled all over the carpet on it. Isn't it odd that dogs don't really care about catnip, but cats just love the smell?I almost have all of the Christmas cards made out and mailed. Most of the gifts are bought. None are wrapped. Cookies will happen next week. All of the knitted gifts are finished and ready to wrap.....awwww, sigh of relief.
Are you ready for Santa's arrival?
