Crazy busy...that's what my life has been like the past week or so. The boys had half days starting the Friday before Thanksgiving and don't go back to school until Tuesday! What have we been doing? Well, I mentioned the trip to my parent's house in the last quick post. The boys had a blast! Here they are with one of their cousins exploring the roots of a tree while on a hike with pappy.
The boys and their cousins on grandma and pappy's back steps.
We did some clean up in the gardens, cleaning of the house, ate some turkey and some pies, and finally, we started decking the halls.
The boys also had down time to just be. The little one took his old car seat and pretended the back of daddy's truck was a space ship!
There has been little stitching. I managed to finish gathering up the goodies for the exchange and will be sending those out to their new home tomorrow. I did put in a few, a very few, stitches on We Sing Thee Merrily. I've got to get back in the groove if I want this finished for Christmas! You'll also see the latest additions to my TUSAL in the corner.
Speaking of the TUSAL, if you wish to join in the fun for next year, it's time to sign up!
Thanks for stopping by!

For as busy as you've been, We Sing Thee Merrily is really coming along. Just look back a couple posts to reassure yourself that you are making progress! It will be done for Christmas, I'm sure.
Looks like a good time was had by all. Great memories.
Oh your stitching is lovely. Truly beautiful and I love the words.
Boys being boys. :) Wow, that is some tree ~ it's beautiful! I love your dish of colorful ornaments and every time I see We Sing Thee Merrily, I wonder why I haven't ordered it. It is coming along beautifully!
Looks like your guys had a great visit with their cousins and grandparents, Catherine! I love the photos of them poking at all the tree roots--such a great "boy" thing to do :)
I've hardly had a chance to stitch at all this past week either. Looks like your Christmas decorating is coming together beautifully--that is a giant tree!! How tall is it?
Good luck with finishing up We Sing Thee Merrily--you can do it!!
Glad to hear you had a lovely Thanksgiving :o) Your tree is just gorgeous!
Your tree is absolutely stunning, close-up photos please?!
It looks like you had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving. No wonder you've not had much stitching time!
Looks like a great family time. :)
Wow! That christmas tree is awesome.

Great pics of the boys and their cousins! Brings backs memories of my boys and their boy cousins when we all used to stay with my MIL and the fun (mischief!!!)they all had together. Your tree looks wonderful! I haven't even started to think about Christmas decorating yet. Guess I need to start thinking about it! Lovely progress on your WIP!
My crew went hiking last weekend too before we left for Texas. I haven't had time to process the pics yet...shame on me! Once again it looks like those boys are having such a great time...who made their hats?? And I bet they're getting soooo excited!!
Love photos Catherine. Your tree is beautiful!
Love all of your decorations. That tree is amazing! What an imagination, a space ship. How fun and the BEST memories of kids!
Have a great weekend!

Your tree is just gorgeous, and my heart just melted when I saw those vintage ornaments!
The pattern you're working on is so pretty. It's hard to believe that the last TUSAL post for the year is Christmas Eve!
