Month: December 2011

Another Christmas has come and gone. Another day of too much food and too many presents. The kids had a great time (as we all did). Margaret got a loom, so now she is starting to weave. Sam got an arduino. He is already better at electronics than I am. Katy got rollerblades that she only wants to use at night in the street. We all got blankets from Marcella. She had these made from various pictures that either she (or I) had taken. Mine was from my picture of the lift at Sherwood. Elizabeth made a pretty cake for Christmas Eve.

We got our tree from the same place again this year. However, with the downturn in the economy, they don’t have as many trees anymore, so the pickin’s are getting a bit slim. We got a fine tree anyway. The biggest reason that we have to have pictures of this each year is because Katy is always convinced that it is her turn to put the star on the top of the tree (she’s only right about a third of the time).
