Our Christmas celebration

 I took a lot of pictures but most of them were blurry or out of focus. I was more worried about being in the moment than I was getting the pictures. Amanda sent me quite a few so maybe I'll share those on another post.

This year I gave a lot of handmade gifts and everyone was just fine with that. Everyone got a pillow. I think Presley liked her reading pillow


She tried on the hat and scarf I made for her as soon as she opened it


Amanda liked this assortment of scrubbies, bowl covers and jar openers.

Brad was straightening out the antlers on the deer wall hanging I gave him. I guess they got a little bent in all the chaos
Everyone was checking their pillow for the pocket like Presley's pillow had
Rob reading his fishing mug

It was nice to see your family Ann. They looked very happy with the gifts - I know you spent a lot of time making all those things!

You did the right thing, focusing more on the moment than on taking pictures. Putting a pocket on a pillow is a great idea. I could use that. 😊❤️

You did a great job. That is so sweet and special to get some hand made gifts. Glad you got to celebrate with them.

Being in the moment, way more important. Blurry pictures, nothing wrong with that. It's the magic and energy that matter the most. Happy New Year!
