Well, how do you spend the week before Christmas? Well, at the hospital of course silly! Why not?
DS #1 wound up having an emergency appendectomy the week before Christmas and this pic was day one when he got home. Well that wasn't fun now was it? He was very brave and now acts like nothing was wrong. Kids truly do bounce back. I had mine out 4 years ago and it was u-g-l-y to say the least. Him being home and healthy was the best present though....
Had to share this one...this is two very happy little girls when Bella and Edward came to visit. It was their Christmas present from their Aunt..the DD on the right was so excited she yelled 'OH SHUT UP!!!' when she opened it. It was pretty funny. And yes...Edward does sparkle. Details, details.
Smokey Cat was anxious Christmas morning to get things rolling...
and after the wrappings went flying here are our favorites out of the bunch....
Dad is testing out the new turkey blind...not truly realizing that he lives with 5 little turkeys.....and on with some finishes!
Lizzie*Kates' Three Blox kit finished into cubes. Finishing kit provided by Mona Bost

Bent Creeks' Polar Bear Snowglobe kit I changed the snow on the bottom of the globe to Rainbow Gallery sparkle to match my other snowglobes
and a start, soon to be a finish:
ok, sorry....blogger keeps turning this picture so my apologizes ahead of time.. (just go have some of that spiked eggnog you have left over and then you won't have to tilt your head...lol)This is Just Nans' Christmas 2009 ornament. You can either finish it into an ornament or use the limited edition frame. I have the frame all ready to go. I should finish this one by the end of the year.
That's it for now folks...I have a busy next month coming up with trying to prepare the girls for their next stripe test, along with myself trying to make up my own poomse for my next test in April. I also plan on doing some serious training at the first of the year to prepare for my 2nd degree belt test coming up in (count down) 10 months. But who's counting??? lol Until then, I leave ya hanging.....Lori

Glad #1 son is on the mend. Looks as if you had a nice Christmas. Do you shop the Silver Needle and know Mona?
Poor kiddo, that wasn't what he really wanted to do for Christmas vacation, was it? Glad he is feeling better!
Love, love, love your stitching! Those blox look super-fantastic. Your finishing rocks, Lori!
Glad your son is OK! I was also going to ask if you got the finishing kit for the LK blox from The Silver Needle? I have the chart but would love to get the finishing kit!!
I'm soooo happy and relieved your Son is ok now, it must have been so awful to happen just before Xmas! I love the Three Blox finish! That fabric is just wonderful and your finishing is exquisite :)

Your stitching and finishing of your pieces are stunning.
Cannot wait to see the finished piece.
Glad your son is doing better and was able to come home before Christmas. Looks like your family had a memorable Christmas 2009. You have some pretty finishes. The start on the bird is just beautiful, I really like the colors in it.
Love the kids and their gifts, they all look soo pleased.
And I adore your Three blox finish, amazing!
Merry Christmas.
I'm so glad that your DS is doing much better...it is amazing how fast they feel better and bounce back.
Your girls got American Girls! WOW :)

I love all your finishes but my favorite picture of all is DH in his turkey blind...he blends in so well to your decor that I really had to squint to see him ;o)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Hi,
I hope your son is feeling much better and finishes all came nice.
Oh no!! I am so glad that he is feeling better! It looks like everyone had a great Christmas though!
Great finishes! I've been waiting to see your Blox. I knew that they would look awesome when you finished them.
Oh my, what a bad surprise for your son, but so glad to hear that he's on the mend. And that you could spend Christmas at home with lots of great presents and happy faces.
Love your stitched and finished cubes, they look fantastic.
I hope your DS is feeling much much better now.
Happy New Year and Best wishes in 2010!
Wishing you lots of happiness for 2010. And nobody else in the hospital! =)
Big hug from sunny Brazil!
Glad you son bounced back so quick, how scary though to have to deal with that. Looks like you had a lovely Christmas. Great finishes too. I love the LK blocks, and the polar bear snowglobe is so cute.

At least he's young and looks like bounced back!! Love the favorite gifts photos. I recognize those American Girl dolls. They have been around awhile now! I saved all the furniture and accessories that Lauren got so now Amberlyn will have something to play with!
