Happy Holidays!
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday week of fun and relaxing!
Yesterday I took Diana and my grand-daughters into San Francisco to see the Nutcracker Ballet. We rode Bart and then walked a few blocks to an area they call “The Plaza”. It’s a beautiful area and it was filled with children dressed in suits and taffeta dresses, all going to the War Memorial Opera House. The children were a sight to see and the ballet was a magical way to start the holidays!
Today I’ll finish some shopping and then I look forward to a weekend of relaxing, catching up on television shows, and maybe even some sewing. I can hardly wait!
My family in Germany will be celebrating Christmas ahead of us because of the time difference. Lily got lots of presents from me, but the one from Chelsea is sitting in customs waiting to be delivered after Christmas. Here’s Chelsea telling her what to say to Lily when she finally arrives.
What do you have planned for this holiday weekend? I hope you have some time to relax and enjoy the holiday.
May Santa bring you everything you’ve wished for (Karen in Ireland sent me this beautiful one…thank you Karen!) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to each of you!
Hugs,
Anne

Happy New Year, Anne! Next year, if you don’t want to travel to San Francisco, The Gallo Theater in Modesto has a fabulous Nutcracker performance. The daughters of our friends are in it.

Ah, The Nutcracker is such a charming way to celebrate the holidays – how fun for all of you. Chelsea’s “twin” is just too adorable – like Chelsea herself. And the Santa ornament from Ireland is so beautiful – what a wonderful gift!!
I do hope you had a peaceful, joyous and very Merry Christmas!

A trip to San Francisco and the ballet–what a fun way to start the holiday celebration!
We’ve done some lunch/shopping outings to get in the spirit. I went to Starbucks this morning. Tamales and posole tonight, presents and good food tomorrow. Along with tossing treats from Santa to the cats!
Have a wonderful and relaxing Christmas–all the best to you and your family in 2015!

Lily will love her puppy!
I hope to mark a quilt tomorrow. I finished my Bunny Hill quilt for granddaughter, Sarah. I made a pillowcase to match. I use your satin ruffle, just like the pattern and used it on the pillowcase too.
Have a wonderful Christmas, Anne.
Love,
Mary

Dear Anne: thank you for sharing your holiday celebrations. I was thrilled to see you will be at Homespun Holly 2015. I have registered for my 2nd year!! It will be great to finally meet you in person.

I was just thinking of you this morning, Anne! Enjoy all these fleeting holiday moments, as they pass too quickly. Merry Christmas to you and yours…((Hugs))
