Holly's "bracelets"
Steve had Friday - Tuesday off, which was wonderful! We spent Friday working outside; Steve burned a monstrous pile of branches (it's still smoking 5 days later, and I'm so relieved that it's gone because I know rats LOVE to make homes in that sort of thing). I worked on my rock-carving project; almost done now (below). This piece of granite is next to the entrance of our driveway (Steve's driveway placement had more than a little to do with the rock being there :) It's about 6'W x 5' tall and has a big flat face on it like there is supposed to be something written on it, so I put our house number on it.
On Saturday we opened some gifts... The funnest part was watching Holly... she didn't know what they were, and when we put a present in her lap she just looked at it, and it took a lot of demonstrating to get her to open it! After that she wanted to open EVERY present, which meant I had to re-wrap a few that she found and unwrapped later.
A gingerbread house made from scratch...
After church we joined the rest of Steve's family at his parent's house
Marie has been looking forward to her first cook book for a VERY long time! I'm afraid that's just the beginning of the work involved with this gift... already she has a whole bunch of things on my grocery list so she can make stuff
