new cowboys in town

two new Bossen heads for Christmas, thanks Ry and D. They look like they belong.

Now I just need to give them a good dusting, can see it in the pictures. :(

Christmas 2010

Had a very lovely day with Brother Brian and his family, the week with Ryan and Danielle, Brad and family, and Wayne and family, got to enjoy Cathy and Dianna the last few days. Larry and Belinda joined us for Tamale making on Christmas eve and we had a good time. Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. Love Tom and Julie,

 Shari, Dianna, Danielle, Cathy, Julie, Amanda

 Ryan, Garrett, Brian, and Jason

 Brad, Tom and Wayne making fudge

 Jaime and Belinda making Tamales

Wayne and Maren playing with the kids.

My Grand daughter is crazy!

Shelby has a new rendition of Jingle Bell Rock, check it out....

No she is not handicapped, just playing, is able to speak totally normally!

Christmas Stockings

Did not have enough stockings this year, the first year all of Tom and my kids will be here for Christmas, so I sewed up a few this week, I think they turned out pretty cute. Now I want to sew everyone a new one...maybe next year. Still have a few gifts to make.  :)

I really like the way the "raggy" ones turned out. You can do this with flannel or demin, just sew it first and then "rag" edges and then machine wash and dry. 

almost ready...

Well I have been working hard on Christmas gifts, there are so many in my family now and it will only get bigger. Finished 5 stockings today (for Tom's gang) - so everyone of the kids, their SO's, and their kids will have a stocking. They turned out really cute, will post them after Christmas so they can be surprised. Ryan and Dianna also have birthdays this month - so still have some more to go. Finished Dee's birthday today. Hope she likes it.

 Really raining outside tonight - should sleep like a baby. Was able to do some Temple work yesterday, my parents are now baptised. I hope they are happy. :)
