we're baaaaack!

over the weekend we were off to our daughter's house to share Thanksgiving dinner, some Christmas shopping and just generally enjoying one another

on Saturday afternoon, our son in law brought up the Christmas tree and the containers of ornaments

here we have Mr Cute crawling over the top of one of the containers

in the background is the tree

and that railing between him and the tree? heh, that was created by the DH in about half an hour on Tuesday afternoon

it is made up of the open railing sides of what was once my daughter's crib -- it had those now banned sliding sides, and we just couldn't toss the good wood -- and the DH trimmed it and hinged it and put some little "wing" supports on the bottom side to stabilize it

no climbing the Christmas tree this year little man!
while we were there I whipped up these

the yarn was left from the hat I had knit for him earlier

oh look, a matched set!

today we have errands to run and projects to work on

time to get to it!
