Sit back and enjoy my quick wrap-up ~
My Mom was one of the most creative people that I knew! I have long felt that my Sister and my Daughter had carried on her creativity, until recently... I have begun to try my hand at different projects and continue to 'create' in the kitchen.
This weekend I made a Christmas decoration for each of my kids. I had found the bare trees at World Market and thought that perhaps I could make them a little more special. I used some toile and a couple of Christmas themed picks that had belonged to my Mom. I think they turned out pretty well!
The bare tree *BEFORE*
The tree *AFTER*
After completing my morning project it was off to my Sister's for her Ladies Christmas party. She has been hosting this party for many years and it is always a good time!
My Daughter & I - We clean up pretty well, huh?
Each guest brought a yummy dish to share
We have a 'gift exchange' with lots of STEALING...
Sunday morning I drove to downtown Sacramento to watch my son-in-law complete his first marathon. Chris met his goal time of under 4 hours (3:57:37) My daughter ran also (3:56:43); her 5th!! It was a very cold morning and I applaud them for being out there, running and FINISHING!!!
Erin & Chris before the race; in the DARK and very cold...
Here they are after finishing 26.2 miles!!!!!
Yeppa, it was a busy weekend!! Now, to prepare for a road trip up North to visit our Son in Washington!! The Fireguy works Sunday & Monday so I am responsible for getting everything ready. Hope I can get it all done!
Have a great week all... Maybe I will get to post a few "White Christmas" pictures...

A busy, but 'fun' weekend.
Congratulations on such successful marathons for both your daughter and son-in-law! :) I love the little tree you created. It's so sweet! :)
Everybody looks so great! LOL...I'd love to be able to run a marathon with Seth (as in side by side, not 15 race corrals back, LOL) someday. Congrats to Erin and Chris!

I can't believe how great your daughter and son-in-law look after running the marathon.
Your Christmas party sounded fun.
Enjoy your travels to Washington and your holiday with your son.
