Snow & Sew

So, the Bonnie K. Hunter mystery quilt along, call Chilhowie #Chilhowiemysteryquilt,  is in full swing now. I'm almost caught up with the clues. 

It takes so long to TRIM!

 I wasn't sure about these colors-they're pretty much what was suggested at the beginning.

But, it's growing on me a little bit. 

We finally had a clear day for our Christmas get together on New Year's day! 

We went out to Julie's house and she served vegetarian soup, and I brought walking tacos. 

We all ate well!

Gifts were exchanged. 

I felt like it was a really good year for gifting!

Mom got a SOFT blanket and a gorgeous plant from Jean, 

Dad got an Anvil BOOK! from me.....Julie got a book from Ben, 

Jaymie got guinea pig toys-she was quite thrilled!

Jean & Kevin both got gift cards and Ben got socks. 

Love this picture! CJ and her beau Jessie were thrilled with their gifts too. 

I don't think I posted Christmas eve pictures-I delivered our gifts to the family. 

Dannie and her jadeite-we found her a few pieces while we were on vacation in Galveston.

Hailey opening her gifts-she's not a highly expression-ish kid, but I think she was pleased. As were Hayden and Drew. 

Since the Bean family kids are all bigger, they got money-I went with the theory that by the time kids are in high school they would rather have money. Don't know if that's true or not, but there it is! So that finished the 2022 holiday season! On we go!
