Family Time


My sister and niece have

been visiting me in Texas for

the last week ~ They live in California

and so we try and go back and forth

as much as we can ~

We hit the road shopping all week

starting with Canton's First Monday

{never can get enough junk!! }


Then as much shopping and

crafting as we could squeeze in ~


It was really cold and rainy most

of the time so we spent one day in

front of the fireplace watching movies

and Chelsey ( my niece ) taught

us all to crochet ~

{below is my daughter Stephanie and above

is a good friend Bethany, my niece Chelsey and

daughter Kristin }

Kristin added a rose and I just

love it !!


One day we decided to go

to the Gaylord Texan Hotel because

it is just gorgeous at Christmas ~

{ my sister Kim & I }


{my niece Chelsey, sister Kim, son in law James

daughters Kristin & Stephanie }


It is always fun to have them come

visit and sad when they leave!

I miss my family in California like crazy!!

I guess it is time for us to take

a trip there again soon ~

I was wondering where you've been hiding! Glad your sis and niece came out - and so now Kristin can make crocheted baby booties, right?

Please tell me that's not your trailer full of stuff from Canton Lori - seriously that's a lot of stuff. Did you get over to Laurieanna's? I drove by and of course, no parking, again, so I didn't stop in this month as I sort of hate crowds and crazy drivers........

Glad you had a nice visit, and glad you're back on here too! I've missed ya - I think I read the Stocking tutorial at least a dozen times. xoxo

Glad you had a nice visit. Most of our family is scattered about in different states. We visit when we can and it is precious time spent when we get together. Are ya ready for the holidays? :)

Looks like you all had lots of fun! That must be so hard to live far away from each other. Me, my sister and my parents all live within a five miles of each other. I'm so thankful for that :)

Oh! What a fun time y'all had. I LOVE when my sisters are around. How fun that you have crafty nieces and friends, too. They're cutie cute cutes. I, too, think the Gaylord is beautiful at Christmas. I think that was a good idea to take them there. And the crocheting and movies by the fireplace... DELIGHTFUL! Glad you got to spend time with them.
