Hello my Cutie friends! I can’t keep up with all the activities or rather I can’t remember when they are. I missed Nora in the Christmas parade, forgot all about it, until I received a text with a picture of Rylan receiving a trophy from the parade he was in. I didn’t even know he was gonna be in the parade here but I did know Nora’s dance team was in another town’s parade.

I did make the Christmas play that they were in and Ashley conducted again this year at church. Last Friday I made it for Christmas with Eva that we had to have early and separate from the families Christmas because she flew back to Spain today for Christmas this year with her parents and brother. Friday is Nora and Gus’ Christmas piano recital that hopefully I remember to go. I went last week to our sewing group’s Christmas party only to realize once I arrived, it’s this week, tomorrow. I don’t know why I can’t remember all this! 😩
I embroidered some purchased bags for them today that Ashley brought to me. I was disappointed in te stitching. Gus’s font was a satin stitch with no under lay stitches or whatever you call them. Nora’s a different font didn’t wrap around the straight outline under stitches in places. They don’t look terrible. I can show you them in projects I guess. Anyway, hope everyone is well and ready or not Christmas will be here soon! Merry Christmas ❤️Toogie

Great pictures Toogie!! When our 4 kiddos were young - I kept a large monthly Calendar up on our pantry door. Everyday, it seemed it was filled with things going on, recitals, violin, trumpet practices, football, baseball, track, dance, doctor appt, hair cutting appt, .... etc!! Maybe you need a big calendar to fill in!! Loads of hugs!!

Loved the pictures. And you know my favorite was of Avery looking so delighted with her talking book. I think you do an amazing job with your large family. I have to write down everything and have taught myself to look at the calendar frequently.
