Baby Elliott hanging out at Tangle while his mama helps with the Christmas windows.

The children both have iPods so they’re constantly texting me from the next room when they should be sleeping.

I really don’t like the red Starbucks cups, so these reusable ones have been a good substitute. I realize I’m ridiculous.

Blueberry/cream cheese hand pies I made for Thanksgiving.

And apple pie.

We take any chance we can get to eat at Bin 707.

Pie for breakfast. The best tradition of Thanksgiving.

Followed by a hike. The second best tradition of Thanksgiving.

Tangle very early on Black Friday.

Everyone’s wish lists.

Our first year of having a real tree.

Happy 30th birthday, Seth!

When I told Christina I wanted to do black and white for the theme of this year’s holiday windows, she wasn’t convinced, but I think that I’ve won her over…

We wrapped empty boxes with newsprint, made giant dahlias out of newsprint and black card stock. Sewed new curtains out of fabric from the shop, and made paper streamers from newsprint. A little gold spray paint added some sparkle. Carnations hanging from the ceiling were from Amazon and the rose trees were from Target. As I usually do, I knit stockings to go with the theme. These are knit from Cascade Magnum and big needles (the only way I like to knit these days.)
