While they were at the movies my husband built our first fire and that is where we sat until the wee hours of the morning. (Emily, Olivia and Lucas went to spend the night at grandma Debbi's to stay out of Elijah's hair giving us some much needed relaxation time together).
The puppies piled up on us and we almost fell asleep snuggled in the chair. I can see this is where we will be spending a lot of time. I mean, really, who wouldn't want to snuggle with that guy and his cute little doggies?
I have a hat-making obsession. Not even sure what I am going to do with them. I guess I'll save them for future gifts. Also, made a blue and white one, but didn't get a photo before it was given as a gift. The red, white and green one represents the Mexican flag and is for Elijah's friend Jordan H. who is part Mexican. This morning I made a pillowcase and puppy bed for by the fire. I'm in a making things kind of mood!
I also helped Emily sew a little pillow and blanket for her sister's doll. I love spending time with her this way.
We never did have cake last night so we sang a little happy birthday song this afternoon before the boys went to the gym to play ball. As Alaskans -30F is not a reason to stay home!
My blogging is slowing down the Internet and messing with Nick's Call of Duty game on the xBox so I'll be back later with my resolution post and the promises of a glorious new year.

Hats are always useful and yours are especially nice! My mom went through a hat phase years ago and we gave hundreds of them to day care centers and homeless shelters. We used to joke that every homeless person and kid in detroit was wearing one of her (ugly) hats. They were always happy to get them. They would have been thrilled to have yours instead!
Enjoy that stove you will love it. and so will the pups.
Thats so funny,the clothes on the boys but those memories will last forever. I think thats great!!! They look like they are having a blast too.

The best photo,I like the one with Emily sewing. It's nice to see family photo's where the family is a true one :) Thanks!!
I can't believe you did not have a stove before this! Have you moved away from it yet? There's nothing like that kind of heat!
I love the Italian looking hat! It's awesome! You could sell those Gayle!
