Yesterday we had our family in for lunch. All our our grands were here.
We opened our gifts in the afternoon.
McDonalds was a great hit!
Even the adults enjoyed the children's play toys!
Aunt Evie holds teeny, tiny, Tina for the first time.
Here's Paul showing my wonderfully whimsical quilt from Laura Wasiloski. If you haven't read the story behind this quilt you may do so here. 
We fixed pizza for supper and had Angie's family, the Greg Martins join us.

Orca Bay
I got a few more stringed triangles done on my Orca Bay Mystery Quilt. After trying out 2 different techniques of sewing the strings I resorted back to Bonnie's telephone book pages for foundations. It's working great for me. I also got my 56 red squares cut out for the centers of the Ohio Stars. Maybe this week I'll have more time to sew!
I've just found your blog via Laura Wasiloski and I'm quite intrigued. I grew up as a Mennonite in Switzerland, and my mother is a born Graber. I wonder if there's any connection? Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and God Bless for the New Year.
