Holidays

Santa came

and brought Miss C the "purple bunny with a baby in the pocket"

And drums for Mr T

And Where the Wild Things Are.

Slippers for seeing in the new year.

Snow came this morning, so we stayed in GTown.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

It's Christmas Eve and the snow is still on the ground. The weathermen have said 23" fell here. It's still beautiful, freezes at night; it's just difficult to get in and out of one's parking place. The plowing has created banks along the road to crowd your car in.

Mrs. T is home today, so she and Miss C made a snowman to keep the one we made yesterday company. Maybe we'll make a crowd!

Miss C likes the carrot nose and stick arms.

Block play under the Christmas tree. We made houses for all Miss C's friends.

Big Snow

The big storm that hit the Mid-Atlantic states hit us in GTown.

It snowed all day yesterday, and today we found this:

Miss C is trying out her snow legs.

My little car is snowed in.

Marshmallow Table and Chairs on the porch

So yesterday as the storm was raging, I stayed in and made things!

Another toy for the Christmas Toy Drop 09 for the Toy Society

A star for the top of the tree, a set of Christmas napkins,

and a pink stocking for Miss C:

Christmas Toy Drop

Mrs T helped me drop this bear for the Toy Society's 2009 Christmas Drop.

Check out their website to see how many toys will be dropped this weekend.

Mrs T took it on the train with her to Center City and dropped it at the train station.

I hope someone finds it to enjoy.

We may have snow tonight or tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Pig Tails

There are just barely enough wisps of blond to make pig tails. . . .

Do you love it?

New Hope

There's a new guy in my group of friends, and I got to meet him yesterday in New Hope. J who went with me to WADC for the inauguration is engaged to S from Denver. They have set a wedding date; and the love just oozes out of them. Hooray!

On our way home, Miss C and I sang Christmas songs. After hearing, "Up on the Housetop," she decided that she would like Santa to bring her a bunny: purple or yellow, with a baby bunny in the pocket.

N's art and music

The glass wall of the Whatcom Art Museum

Son N continues to create in multiple areas: playwright, artist, musician. He is writing, directing, and producing a one hour sketch comedy to be presented in January. His band has a gig tomorrow night, and his latest art work delights.

We visited the new Whatcom Art Museum. A wonderful new building with a great opening exhibit. Nice day in the 'Ham.
