But first I downloaded Picasa 3.9. Because someday I just might decide to spend some time editing photos. Someday. Maybe. While this new hard drive is still functioning. That gives me a few years, right? Maybe.
What have we been doing in those seven weeks?
WEEK ONE (Dec 12)
- "Finishing" Luci's dog house... (it still needs siding, but it's mostly weatherproof)
- Baking cinnamon rolls for the dentist and her crew who blessed us with free services...
- Making a spinach/fruit smoothie
- The Cattleman was hamming it up for his sister (I think I deleted two, which leaves a series of 19 photos ~ so this is just a sample)
- Preparing a duet for the Sunday school Christmas program (and then forgetting the music at home)
WEEK TWO
- the Christmas program (Dec 18)
- Celebrating the seventeenth birthday for Miss Artist
- Watching the amaryllis
- Chocolate goodies!
- Candy cane cookies with Tim
- getting closer...
- At Grandma's house for Christmas (five days)
WEEK THREE (should be its own post!)
- December 26 ~ Christmas at Home!
I think I got a little carried away with the stocking stuffers this year ~ but it was too much fun!
- Sibling gifts
a magazine subscription from the Cowgirl to the Cattleman ~
a fleece jacket from the Computer Geek to the Cowgirl ~
a fancy patchwork package from Miss Artist to the Computer Geek ~
(with a book and DVD inside)
- And much, much more...
SeaFarers for Settlers of Catan ~
Each of the girls got a Lilla Rose flexi-clip in her stocking ~
Tim bought a package of rawhide bones for Luci ~
- Cut-out cookies (finally)
- And the frosting...
Miss A's broken teapot, but so cute! : )
(guess who got a digital camera for Christmas?)
- the Popper's jewelry kit ~
- the Cowgirl was rug-hooking while the Popper tied knots
...which brings us to the end of 2011... so I will save the last four weeks for another post! whew.
