Christmas is almost here

Not completed needs beading and all the butterflies are not attached they are waiting for me to bead them  I need quiet down time to finish this project.

We had our family gathering last Sunday it was wonderful having almost everyone here twenty-two and growing...  The food was wonderful but we had way too much, my children have taken to bringing their own containers with them so they can have some of the left overs this works out real well and they always leave enough for us old folks.  Christmas eve we go to Karol's and brunch will be here Christmas morning.  I make eggs Benedict, Jerry will do waffles and we will have stick-buns and sausages and fruit the last Christmas meal before we diet.   After all that excitement we have to get packing for our trip to the Islands for two weeks of fun in the sun.  I have my wall piece quilted and ready to bead which s what I do on vacation. So I'll not be on the web for two weeks, Ernie our son will house sit or should I say cat sit, I hope they get along Lilly is the kind of cat when someone is around she disappears especially when the kids are here; Ernie may never see her she is such a spooky cat, jumps out of her skin at the tiniest noise.  I have been scratched several times when she has heard something and jumped out of my lap leaving scratch marks on my legs, she really flies.  So for now have a Happy Christmas I am going to bed before mid-night. Well I am going to try.
