Finishing Christmas Presents



December didn't go as we'd planned. So I am finishing Christmas (actually New Year's) cards and a few gifts while I have some time off from work for the Holidays. These are gifts for music teachers. I filled them with Starbucks gift cards and some tissues with music printed on them. The lining of the bags are sheet music. When the weather has been nice, we have been driving up to North Suburban IL to take Grandma Mannin dinner. She is still recovering from surgery the second week of December. Olivia and I decided to make her a quilt, although she doesn't need anymore stuff in her house (do any of us, really). I still haven't quilted the Dresden I made before I got sick.

We also had our cousin Spencer over for several days between Christmas and New Year's Day. John and the kids went to the Indiana State Museum and went to the IMax theater to watch "The Polar Express" (Augie's favorite movie) in 3-D. Then they spent an hour in the Lego exhibit before being thrown out of the museum. We also took the kids to Cheeseburger in Paradise, where Spencer enjoyed the macaroni & cheese plate off the Little Parakeet Menu.
