Christmas 2010 at the Crazy House
Merry Christmas from the Crazy House! 2010 was a great Christmas for us. Everyone is doing well and jobs are a bit more stable this year, so we were able to have a nice holiday this year. We managed to get a little time with our family - a weekend with the grandkids and a quickie visit with my sister & brother-in-law who are vacationing in Hawaii this year to see one of their kids, who lives there.
We made visits to both of our churches (Methodist & Presbyterian) and spent some fun time relaxing with friends. It's been hectic and busy, but we've had a very nice time. I made up for it with a 3 hour nap after presents this morning!
Matt came to spend the weekend with us. I was so worried when he moved into his own apartment, but we've adjusted better than I expected and it seems like he's around here almost as much as before. Of course, I still haven't seen his apartment since we moved him in. Might be kind of scary by now!
Here are some of my favorite decorations from around the house. Most of them are ones I've made over the years, so it's always kind of special to see them again. This year, it looks like I'll be taking up a couple of new hobbies - my friend and I are going to take a jewelry making class, and I got a watercoloring book for Christmas. Actually, I bought it for myself at the Book Fair. I could hear my Mom whispering in my ear. She had always wanted me to try my hand at watercoloring. (Now I just need to buy skatey-eight dollars worth of supplies to be able to try it. Kind of makes me sad that I spent three months selling off a whole room full of these same supplies that had belonged to her.)
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your own family and friends. Merry Christmas from the Crazy House!

I love the kleenex cover.
My mom had that same kleenex cover - cool memory. Loved your fave decorations - and how you did the slide show - cool! I know what you mean about getting rid of stuff then kicking yourself later - I did the same thing with my gram's silver - grrr - I'm still kicking myself. Live and learn! Visiting from SITS.
