My Christmas knitting is done. Although, I DID see an Angry Birds hat that James would love but I think starting a knitting project at this point isn’t so smart! We got a little dusting of snow last night. James is so excited although he wishes it were enough to crank up the snow blower. [...]

When I was 3, I received Beth’s Happy Day for my birthday. I loved this little book about a little girl who shared her birthday happiness with her neighbors.
