Pillow Covers

Jean and I covered these pillows to go with our new couch. Jean had the know-how and I learned quite a bit. Everything is fresh looking now. :)

We spent the last evening of the year with a group of professional music lovers. They played throughout the evening changing places now and then with others who wanted to participate; sometimes a stringed quartet and then a double string quartet, or trumpet with strings. There was good food and good company, too.

Pinkalishious

Leezza's full-circle dress has the magical effect of transforming her into a spinning top.

We read the book Pinkalicious. It's about a girl that eats too many cupcakes and turns pink.

Many cherries missed getting on the cupcakes.

They look just like the ones in the book.

Great Day!

We left for our babysitting duties early and had a delicious artichoke-filled veggie sandwich at Round Table Pizza, then saw a super satisfyingly well-done film, The King's Speech.

When we babysat while Brad and Hai Minh went to the office party Leezza and Ian were perfect and so much fun. This is her new dress.

This is where Ian had the most fun.

At dinner Leezza appointed me to pray and in the middle she firmly reminded me to include in the prayer, "Grandma and Grandpa." Since I was "Grandma" I ignored that, but she persisted, "Grandma and Grandpa" so I was thankful for myself. Afterwards she reminded me with sweet enthusiasm that she had helped me during the prayer. She loved, loved, loved helping set the table.
