After waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting to open presents…

I gave my present to Mom.

We bought this poster of the Flying Horses (America’s oldest carousel, which is on MV, and one of Mom’s favorite places on the island with lots of childhood memories.)

I brought it home and turned it into a cross-stitch chart for her next project.

(For clarity, I put all the outlining lines on a separate page.)

Naturally, the gift included the fabric and the floss for the project!

And, of course, Dad and Chappy got THEIR favorite gift this year … stollen!

Chappy did enjoy his present from his grandparents while it lasted. (Well, it’s technically still here, but already on its way out.)

And how nifty is this coffee mug that looks like a camera lens?

Such happy, Christmas faces. I hope yours are just as happy–whether this is a normal Saturday for you or not!

Be Merry, everyone.
