Knitting Crazy Lady

It's been 35 years since I picked up a knitting needle...but I saw some fun fingerless gloves on a favorite character of mine from Twilight (Alice) and thought it would be fun to make some for all my girls in the family. So...I did! Sheesh...didn't know I'd have to make them on 4 double sided needles though! All I can say is...thank goodness for the internet and a few video's to show me how to knit in the "round" on those things. The teeniest girls I made knit hats for. Oh, and you'll notice that there is a little boy in there showing off some white gloves with blue on them. Yeah...I had to make some Star Wars Clone gloves for the little guys so they didn't feel left out!
And speaking of little ones....here's Randy, Tanya and little Charli. Would you believe they are expecting a little boy this year?




Randy and Charli modeling her new hat.



Jana Michele and little Emily got gloves to go with theirs, which matched their new Sunday dresses I got for them. We had quite the fashion show on Christmas Eve!

Christmas After-Thoughts




What a bunch of crazy Jordan's! Christmas Eve at our house is nuts. Dinner and the kids and Grandkids get to open their presents from us.


Daniel, Christopher and Alan show off their T-shirts and knit hats....what posers!

Then Daniel continues to show us his strength by giving piggy-back rides to two sisters, and two of Emily's kids. I finally got some of them to sit down for a minute so I could take a family picture so you can see how big everyone is getting....


Here's Danny and Jana and their 9 kids.
Emily was the roll queen!






Chad and Sera got their boys to sit on their laps for a second so you could see what good looking boys they are. Peyton is not so crazy about the idea, though...
