Wow, 20 days since my last post!!!

I can't believe it has been 20 days since my last post!! December is just too busy of a month!!
My birthday was on the 15th, and my co-worker Wendy made me an Angel food cake with PURPLE Frosting!! It was quite yummy!! This is my little cubbie at work!! You can see that Hunter is my screensaver! I have pictures of my PURPLE flowers on the left, my PURPLE Snowflake scrub jacket is on the back of the chair, and my PURPLE pen is on the desk!! I have on PURPLE shoes, but you can't see them! This is a pic of my Mom, Matt(Cristine's BF), Cristine, Hunter, & Jenn with their Christmas Stockings. The kids stockings were all originally made by my Mom. They were hand sewn and beaded. I added the fabric lining to them. My Mom embroidered the names on the top. My husband & I each have one too. Mine is probably 40 years old!!!
Here are a few of my goodies. My Mom gave me the sewing machine on the top for my birthday. My DH gave me the one of the bottom along with the Ultimate scoring tool for Christmas. Now I guess I have no reason to not start to sew on some of my cards!!!
Next are the goodies I received from my Secret Santa at work (who by the way, was also Wendy). I also got a cute PURPLE ornament, and a bunch of candy!!
This was Christmas at my SIL's. The kids wouldn't all smile at the same time!
They are grandkids and 1 nephew.
Noah, Calla, Mason (Nephew) & Brooke. It was too bad that Hunter wasn't there too. My SIL gave them their matching outfits!!
Well, it's my day off today, and I've got a ton of things to do!! I have to put away the Christmas gifts, stocking stuffers and decorations. Noah & Calla spent the night, but Grampa is taking them to his DS to go sledding for a little while. Hopefully I will have a productive day!!!
