Christmas 2008 was fun and interesting! Poor Brother S got stranded in Denver overnight due to the region's snow cover (he was flying in from Chicago). Luckily, I found him a flight to Seattle the next day, so he didn't have to stay there through Christmas Day like his fellow passengers. He and Mom came down to Portland a couple of days later, through the snow and all! They slip slided down I-5 just in time for Christmas.

Christmas Eve was spent having a delicious dinner with KM's side of the family, and then we did some gifting at Dad's house. Christmas morning and day took place at my house, where we had a cute little tree with lights, and a fabulous holiday feast!

This year I crafted a lot of gifts for people. Dad and KM received a set of 8 reversable napkins with little gnomes embroidered on them - each one unique! KM's family members each got little felt bird ornaments with their first initial sewn into the wing. Mom got a quilted farm pillow embellished with little garden tool charms. Brother S was gifted a set of dark blue pillow cases embroidered with a series of 8 evolving Chicago Cubs logos. Brother C was given a pair of fingerless gloves for running (he is a cross country runner). Baby MC received a set of moody softie foods for his "kitchen."
