Merry Christmas to all!

This is a picture of Mom and my brother Paul who lives in Montreal. On Mom's trip from Prince Edward Island to Salt Lake City, she was snowed in in Montreal first, and then snowed in Chicago second. So she spent the night at Paul's which was already planned and they had their pictures taken together.

Sorry, but these pictures are out of order, and I didn't get shots of everyone.
This is Dave and Rebecca and Vanessa. It is the newlywed's first Christmas together, and they spent it with us! I made the quilt for Rebecca. My goal is to make one for each of my children. I have never made anything bigger than a throw so far.
This is Bridger's gift from Santa Claus. Santa does surely love Bridger!



This was Kennedy's gift from Santa, a Cabbage Patch doll, who looks a lot like Sarah Leigh, Lindsay's Cabbage Patch doll when she was a little girl. Two to be exact. She still has her.



Dave did a great job in selecting a gift for Rebecca. He gave her a eukelele.




This is Christmas Eve, with everyone's presents to each other.





Christmas Eve, Lindsay helping Bridger write a note to Santa.






Christmas eve, spreading reindeer glitter for the reindeers to find their way to the house. It glitters in the moonlight. Also, there are oats in the mixture which the reindeers can eat if they are hungry. It is a Nielson tradition.







Night night Bridger, you will feel safe next to Uncle Addison. He was sound asleep before I could say, "Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night."








Oh, I love my Cabbage Patch. I caught Kennedy giving Garnet a sip of her drink. Look, her mouth is open to help the process!










I wonder if she has a belly button? Only true Cabbage Patch lovers know the answer to that.









Mommy made Kennedy a beautiful quilt. She loves it. Mommy made one for Bridger too. There are pictures on Lindsay's blog of the quilts.











Kennedy tried to take her necklaces off and they were all stuck in her bows.












The Christmas table, we had Prime Rib, mashed potatoes, green beans with almonds, and rolls. Ricky did a great job cooking the Prime Rib.

I love it, it's like being there with you. Isn't it great. I love Kennedy giving her new dolly a drink.
