Visitors

We have had lots of visitors over the past few weeks. Nana and Grandad Purdy visited over Thanksgiving weekend, and were gracious enough to help us put up the Christmas tree, which is one of James very favorite activities. He feels fondly toward particular ornaments: the bird cage, the iron, the Star Wars ornaments my mom has given him in years past. Here he is with a favorite Santa ornament.


I'm knitting like mad trying to finish off gifts for assorted aunts (you know who you are!). Next: the uncles. I'm thinking books. Everyone else is pretty well taken care of, and I can concentrate on making cookies and wrapping gifts over the next couple of weeks. We're keeping it simple this year, which seems to be the going trend, given the economy, etc. etc.
