GRANDMA NORA'S SEWING MARATHON!

Grandma Nora is a Sewing Machine!

Her Sewing Marathon Started????Years Ago!

And has not stopped yet!

She has made these Christmas Socks for my Sister-in-Law Jill.

No Pattern, just from a Picture from a Magazine.

A blessing dress for Jill's granddaughter,

A dress and doll dress for Jill's other granddaughter.

This is all after she made who knows how many Halloween Costumes,

which I know were amazing!

I will get pic's of the rest!

The blessing dress is long and flowing, with pin tucked boddess

and little pink roses embroidered on the collar and boddess!

The Dress and Doll dress is copies from the American Doll Catalog.

She is AMAZING!

Sparkly Shoes

I found these cute shoes at Children's Place(Fashion Show Mall). Gabrielle will not wear anything but Sparkly Shoes! So I thought we better get some for Stella Too! They are so TINY!

Like her sister, she has a sweet disposition!

She sleeps and eats!

Stella Jane Sullivan

What a Sweet Blessing we received this week!

Stella was born Dec 3rd.

She weighed 7 lbs 12 oz. 20" long.

She is a whole pound bigger than her sister Gabrielle was at birth.

She is so strong and alert. She seems sooo mature!

She latched right on to eat first thing.

Gabby said: "Give her back to her Mommy"

and pointed out in the hall.

I am sure she will adore her!

Stella was born by C-Section as was Gabby.

Lindsey and Stella are both doing great!

Lindsey is such a trooper!

She doesn't complain at all!

She is such a GREAT Mom!

I am so proud of her!

I am grateful to have her in our family!

Shaun now has Three beautiful girls

to buy sparkly shoes for!

His wife and two daughters!

They LOVE shoes!

He is so LUCKY! He is so HAPPY and

LOVES them all so much!

He is the sweetest Daddy!

COME FIND ME!

The grand babies and I love to play Hide and Seek in my house.

Their favorite hiding spot is a cabinet that opens on both sides

connecting my Master Closet to the Utility Room.

They scream out of excitement and fear when they are found.

Then they hunt for me and scream when they find me.

Then its Again...Again....Again....Again.

It is great fun.

I love how happy they are!

Adi and Jr.(painted like a kitty).

Baby Stella

All the Sisters:

Lindsey, Tara, Jennifer, and Jentry.

Everyone want's to touch Lindsey's tummy.

Lindsey is so ready to deliver!

She is such a great sport!

She does so good pregnant!

She is never sick, and never complains!

Lindsey is so small everywhere but her tummy!

You cannot even tell she is prego from the back.

She is scheduled for a C- Section on Wed.

We are excited to see our little Stella!

NOW CHRISTMAS!

Above the TV.

My Pretty Nativity

(Ralph Jones Display on Charleston in LV)

I just love the weather!

It is the end of Nov. and my flowers are still pretty!

I bought these cute ground pegs at Wal-mart.

My door garland.

All the stockings are hung.

We used to put our tree up on my sisters birthday Dec. 13 th.

Everyone thought we were crazy putting it up that early!

Now if you don't have it up by Thanksgiving your late!

It was weird having my Christmas Decorations up during Thanksgiving!

I had Thanksgiving Decorations on the table and Christmas everywhere else.

I have some Christmas books I like to put out.

This one is "The Spirit of Christmas"

I have had this advent Calendar for years that my mom made for my kids.

It has a bear that you move around to a different spot everyday until Christmas.

My sister cross stitched me this reindeer. Kendall and I loved the big ornaments (4') at Tai Pan. They were $149. @. We did not want to spend that much on them Then I saw these at WAL-MART! They aren't as big or as pretty, but they give the same effect. They look nice. We hung them from our entry light with pretty ribbon. 1 - Large one and 3 - 14" ones My tree is Gold, Raisin, Ivory, and it

has lots of sugared fruit.

I have pictures of the Baby Jesus framed and set into the tree.

I have two big horns.

Angels of fabric and metal,

Stars, and fun glittery ornaments.

It is nice to have my decorations up.

Now I can enjoy the rest of the Holiday.
