Busy, Busy, Busy

This is just a sample of the things I made and the things that Patrick got from Santa and us and the things that we have done over the past few days. Life is so busy and we are so broke, but I have a beautiful family and I feel lucky to have such wonderful people in my life - including my very special friends. I spent lots of hours cooking and sewing and knitting and worrying about how things were going to get done and how we were going to afford to make it a special Christmas for Patrick. But in the end it all worked out and he loved the day, mostly because he got to spend it with us and his cousins and his Grama Judy and Grandpa Bessey.
