sharing cheer

Last night Hannah and I drove to the airport to pick up Sierra!! Yay!!! I was so excited and looking forward to her coming!  We left at 9pm and hit traffic?  What is that about??  Luckily her flight was an hour late so we got there long before she landed, sadly it was about 2:30am when we got home so we were tired.  We slept in in the morning, Grace walked Z and played quietly.

This morning Hannah had piano lessons, again we were fortunate as we had scheduled it for 10:30 and not earlier.   After that we made breakfast together and then got ready to  go to the Martines' polar express party.  Sister Metcalf (sr)'s mom recently passed away.  She left Linda her stash of fabric.  Knowing that her mom would really want to do something for the veterans who live in the Veterans Home (350 of them) she decided to make quilts for each of them.  She has enlisted the help of all who are willing.  Hannah's been working on quilts for a few weeks.  Colleen got 9 quilts and we tied them together.  It was a lot of fun as we quilted and visited.
The Streeters also came.  All the kids cheerfully worked for 3 hours, they were fortified by yummy treats which they stopped to snack on from time to time.  It was a great way to celebrate the season together.


Tonight we ate pizza and watched a movie.  Also Sierra has been helping Hannah straighten her abyss.
