A New Outfit

I bought a pattern for this cute outfit and have finished one for Madeline. Next is one for Ella and I'm on the lookout for the right fabrics for the third and fourth. I think I'll finish Ella's before buying more fabric.

Our friend Channing celebrated her 3rd birthday in our church basement (kid's area) with a fun magician, crafts, snacks and cake.

Whiteaker Christmas Jan. 30

Family members were sick so we postponed this Christmas until the day before New Years Eve. I can't believe mom made fantastic meals for both Christmas Eve and Christmas celebration. She had to freeze the latter for later, but it was still delicious. Thanks mom! Next year take a break! A fun and relaxing day, for us at least. Great to see Uncle John playing with the kids. Here are a bunch of pics...
