Christmas was so much fun this year. We've had 3 Christmases in the desert, without family. It was so nice to get to go and spend Christmas with my parents. For Christmas we only get the children one big gift each and then their stockings. Avi got a sewing machine this year (it's what she asked for) even though her Mama does not know terribly much about sewing. I really want to learn so I guess I'll have to get on that. It's hard to teach something you don't know~! Thankfully Grandma Trudy gave Avi her first lessons in sewing and Avi had LOTS of fun creating little shirts for her Webkins with Grandma. Azriel got his Red Ryder BB gun. Mark always told him that he could have one when he was 6. He is thrilled beyond measure with it and gets to go out target practicing when Papa's home on Saturdays. He is very conscientious and is following all the safety rules and the parental rules. Grandpa Ron got Az a real SWISS ARMY pocket knife. He only gets to use that when he's being supervised and I keep it in my sewing box high atop my computer desk when it's not in use so that it won't get lost. I want him to have it as he grows older. Anyhow, it was a fun and eventful 3 days over at the Wheeler's. We had snow on Christmas which is really rare for the Seattle area. It was so beautiful and the flakes were HUGE! Nothing like Christmas with SNOW!!!
