freezing cold

Super cold weather everywhere.  Tomorrow, it's supposed to be a high of 6 Fahrenheit.  
I knitted this chunky hat & found it pretty silly looking as a hat.  I think it's a nice plant cozy though.
Next, is this baby hat:

I didn't order the kit, but bought "the baby wool" which was $12, since I already had knitting needles the right size.  As for the pattern, I cast on 50 stitches & I'm simply knitting back & forth.  I crocheted (a chain) one tie.
Two years ago we were still homeschooling with Hannah & Olivia.  We read To Kill a Mockingbird when Olivia was 13, and now it's required reading for her...  It's such a great book, nice to reread it!
Sledding with cousins:
Big brothers:
Littlest cousins!  I hope they'll be good friends!  And below, mornings with these boys:
Olivia & George were twinning a few days ago.  Look at that little smile, below.  He'll be 3 months old next week!

Thank you to our friend Sarah Pyle for this kit!  I just ordered more 100% Peruvian yarn from www.weareknitters.com to "refill" & we can use the cool wooden knitting needles, made in Spain.

Celebrating Nativity

It's been a hard week. Rob spent much of his time with his parents.  My father-in-law has been sick & passed away Thurs. evening. The funeral will be this coming Thursday. My husband wore some very nice shoes he gave him to church.  
Today has been a good day!  We celebrated the Lord's Nativity!  It's Dec. 25th on the old (Julian) calendar.
After receiving the saffron linen napkins last week, I was eager to put the linen tablecloth on, and it's probably been about a year since I did.
My husband made these votive candle holders from cedar logs.
 Sushi with Sarah & her mom, Magdalena.
George is now 2 months old.  He's smiling more & more.
