Santa has been here, eaten his snack, and left a thoughtful note for Ben...
In return he left a HUGE pile of presents...
And some crafty goodness for the rest of the family...
For son Matthew, a cozy fleece blanket with crochet edging...
And a unique "Nintendo" clock...
Son in law Damian got a hat and scarf (per his request)...
Daughter in law Tammy also got a cozy fleece blanket, and a matching pillow in her favorite colors :)
Cyndi asked Santa for a red doily to accent her wedding bouquet table display...
And finally, Santa got a little behind so had to leave a couple of I.O.U.s
He was able to finish the motifs for Cyndi & family's Polka Dot Stockings, but no matter how quickly his elves worked, they just couldn't get them assembled. :( I hear he's going to sneak back from the North Pole one evening soon to finish them up though. :)
The other I.O.U. was included in a box full of flannel to be used for a rag quilt to be designed and completed to order A.S.A.P. for daughter Diane.

There were lots of other non crafty gifts exchanged, including a new crafting table for ME! I was quite excited about that. I now have a place to set up a crafting station and sewing table permamently! I had been using the kitchen table which just wasn't convenient for anyone, especially me.
It's been a good day here. The family is together and that is the best gift of all.
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, whichever holiday you celebrate, I wish you much love and happiness for a special holiday today and always.
*Peace*
