Sometimes I look at the mess of needles and feel mighty proud of my skillz. 

This tangle will be a hat, mark my words. With scoured locks I spun from a corridale. 

(Even if I can handle it, this is the dumbest way to start a hat.  I hope the rest of the pattern isn't so poorly planned.)

Lunch at home. Quite nice.

I need to organize all my Christmas photos from my phone, Ben's camera, and Jenn's camera to share with you guys.

In the meantime, here's a video Ben made today!  He got a time lapse camera for his birthday and we put it to use immediately to spy on our son.  Jack is so floppy while he's falling asleep!  This butt in the air posture has been a favorite of his for a long time.  This morning nap was about an hour long.  The camera was set to take a picture every 30 20 seconds.

Amanda really outdid herself this year. She gave Jack our whole family rendered in dolls. Insanely cute!

This little break from work is a time for getting things done! DIY presents: done! Laundry: done! And dinner of little hand pies with beef and potato filling: done by 11 am!
