Apologizing now

I am going to apologize ahead of time for Thank you cards going out late and for them not being our best work. Matt and I want to thank every one who sent cards and gifts, we had the best Christmas yet and are very grateful to you for your love and support of our family. We are leaving for a few days tomorrow and in the chaos of Christmas, ringing doorbell (neighbor kids wanted to play and we didn't open the last gift until 12pm or have the toys put together till closer than 2pm) and packing I am afraid I will leave someone or some gift out.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Happy New Year, see you back here soon.

Stockings are ready

Mary is ready.
Ruth is good to go too.
Two reindeer, a monster and a game.
Two animals for Mary, a hand made doll and a new card game.
Everything lined up and ready to go.
The Build A Bear animals were $5/each from craigslist.
I made the monster and doll and the games were 75% off at Barnes and Noble months ago when Matt and I were out on a date.
Not too bad.

Ruth singing her solo

How this child can possibly be mine I have no idea, but I am grateful for her every single day.
Merry Christmas to all our friends and family. Enjoy!

Forgot to take a reveal photo, sorry about that.
It was a jacket.

Gifts Round 2, Ruth





I think it safe to say it was love at first sight.
