How Do You Eat YOUR Chocolate Bunny?

Ears first?

Family ❤️

Just finished this book and I loved it!  Highly recommend!

My Dad with his newest great grandchild ❤️

The Queen 🥰

 I think he's thinking, "If I can't see you, then you can't see me, and I don't have to do what you're telling me to do!" 😂

Another Flashback

Another flashback to a quilt I made not too long ago!  Pattern by Jen Kingwell 😊

This story below reminds me of when my daughter went skiing in Utah many years ago and afterwards called me and said, "Mom, do you know who Robert Redford is?"  I was shocked that she didn't!  She informed me that she had ridden the ski lift up with him and his friends and they all thought it was funny that she didn't know who he was! 😂

 

Recent Days

 

Lil' Birthday Dude 🥰

 

Quilt Stories

My daughter told me that her boys wanted to get out all the quilts and hear all the stories behind them, why they were made and for whom etc.  How fun!  I'm so glad they're interested!

Here they are revisiting their baby quilts 🥰

 

Our Love Story in License Plates ❤️

Our love story in license plates:

 

California girl meets Wyoming boy

They get married and move to Nebraska

When he finishes residency they move to Utah for a one year fellowship

Then they settle to raise their four children in Colorado 😊❤️😊❤️

Happy Valentine's Day to my Sweetheart! 43 wonderful years so far!

New Year's Questions

 I will try to answer these New Years questions that my daughter came up with:

1.  What new skills did you learn or new things did you do this year?

The only one I can think of is Big Stitch hand quilting.

2.  What unexpected joys or gifts did you receive?

We got invited to be on the committee for planning the Grand Junction Temple dedication and open house, which ended up being a true joy and gift 😊

3.  What was your favorite book, movie, song or meal?

book - Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall

I can't think of a favorite for the others...

4.  What's a surprising new obsession?

It's not new because I've been playing a few years now, but it is an obsession - Pickleball!!

5. What's a small, simple joy you want to prioritize next year?

Spending time with my hubby ❤️

6.  What was the funniest thing that happened to you this year?

I'll change this to the funnest and say our trip to Ireland ☘️🇨🇮

7. What are you proud of that you didn't expect to achieve?

I completed workouts every week for the whole year and I have a 2650 day streak on Duolingo, trying to learn Spanish.

8.  What's one totally new skill you want to learn or one habit or routine you'd like to start in 2026?

Cooking and eating healthy

9.  Create a phrase or statement that describes this past year for you.

Difficult and filled with tender mercies ❤️

10.  What are you most grateful for as the year ends?

My wonderful family 🥰❤️😊🥰

Try answering these questions for yourself - it's nice to reflect on the old year as we begin a new one.

Artistic

The four year old got hold of my phone last night and took some pictures.  The one above is actually quite artistic!  Plus, she's just about mastered the selfie!

 

A Fun Afternoon at the Palette

My daughter signed up whoever wanted to for a class at the Palette this afternoon.  The four of us who went had a great time!  I was a bit skeptical because painting is not typically my thing, but I loved it!

 

Merry Christmas!!

 It's that magical night!  Have a wonderful Christmas! 🎄🎅🏼😊❤️

Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

Finished a stocking for the new baby!! ❤️

 

Pretty Lights!!

A light tour and hot cocoa with the family 🥰

 

Finally!

 I'm finally working on some projects this weekend.  I made these "Santa Sacks" a couple of years ago to wrap the grandkids presents in at Christmas time.  We have a new grandchild so I needed a new Santa sack! 

Watching TV 😂
