Christmas festivities

Katie, Mom and I had a busy day on Christmas.  We started the day off with present opening at our house. Here are a few pictures of the fun times.

Mom and Katie enjoy some coffee while checking out their stockings.

Love these key covers.  I found them in Boise when I was visiting my friend Tara and had to get them for Katie.  Hilarious!

Megalina found these gems for Katie.  Does this girl know our Binxy Kat or what?

I got these precious plates from my mom.  She, Aunt Sue and I have all been slowly collecting pottery from this place called Kara Irish Pottery. These plates are part of my dream kitchen with their cute knitting patterns.  They are joining my oval baker, covered casserole dish, and my cream and sugar holders.

Mom models the new leopard-print snuggie that Tony and Cara got for her.  The woman was made for this handy little blanket with sleeves.  Somewhat trashy, but she's already rocking it like nobody's business.  Perfect for knitting and reading!

Katie shows off her new Bella mittens that mom knit up for her.  They are so cute.  She's wanted them for a year, and mom finally gave in and made them.  They are perfect, although Katie did immediately demand that mom redo the seem as her sensitive hands felt a yarn bump!

This beautiful table runner is my present from Pam! She hand knit it and then ran some beautiful red yarn through the drop stitch pattern.  My pictures don't do it justice!
