Christmas Eve & Crafty Time

I have been taking a much needed break from the computer this last month (as you can probably tell) and focused on organizing my crazy Christmas season and attempting to make a few gifts. I managed to make two purses for my mother-in-laws and an apron for my mom. I used this pattern for the purses. Here is how one of the purses turned out (I really wanted to keep it for myself!):While sewing I watched (well, I don't really watch them so much as listen and glance over at the TV every now and again) many movies. This holiday craft time really gave me some much needed down time during the busyness of the season.

And here's a pictures of Colin, my brother Joel and I on Christmas Eve at my parent's house. We all attended church together in Vancouver there and it was very sweet - it's been so long since our whole family has been at the same church during the same service.
Today is Colin and my 13th wedding anniversary! We couldn't do too much exciting, what with three kids and all. But we may get really crazy and watch "Inception" after we put the kids to bed. And that, folks, is what anniversaries look like after 13 years and 3 kids =). Just kidding. We plan on celebrating sometime during the next week by getting out together w/out kids.
