The card - just some pretty patterned paper with an added sentiment and some twine.  Super easy!

More 'Grandma time' today.  Hopefully it will be nice enough to wander downtown today so we can be outside for a bit and get some fresh air.  We also need to do a bit of food prep for tomorrow.  And then a nice, quiet evening at home for me.  :)

Have a wonderful day!

Goodness, I didn't realize I totally forgot to post yesterday.  But it was a great day - always fun to see the kids get so excited!  Hope you all had a wonderful day!  The Christmas season seemed so short this year!  But, today I'll take down the Christmas decorations and put up the winter stuff.  The boys will be here to help so that will make it more fun!  

Have a wonderful day!

Getting ready for a Christmas get together tonight.  This is a group of friends that has been getting together for at least 30 years - we lost one of the group this year so tonight we'll be thinking of her a lot!  A bit sad, but lots of good memories!
