Polar Express Day

Today we are going to the "Polar Express" with the grand kids. It's basically an hour train ride on the Grand Canyon Railroad. We are having dinner in Williams with the kids before we get on the train at 7.

My knitting is coming along nicely. I have now finished three of the stocking stuffer's. My daughters headband, Jennie's headband, and Caleb's brimmed beanie.  I'm working on the beanies for Brandon and Jacob, and still have to make the headband for baby Ella and Cam.  Not to mention finish baby Ella's Christmas Stocking, which I'm half done. Hope to get some knitting done on the train ride. Plan on finishing the stocking, and possibly starting Ella's headband to match her Mamma's.

Snowy Day

Spent the entire day doing nothing but knitting.  It snowed on and off all day long. I was going to go to Cottonwood do see the Christmas Parade with Julie and the boys, but didn't want to go out in the weather.  Finished a headband for my daughter in purple. also finished 2 Triana scarves today and 2 last night. I know have a total of 5 finished scarves for last minute gifts or stocking stuffer at the family Christmas Party. 

On Thursday I bought the yarn at Knit 1 Bead 2 for the hats I'm going to make for Brandon and Jacob. If I have extra I will also try and make them some fingerless gloves. I may also do the same for the girls but rather than hats, it will be headbands and gloves.

For my baby boys I'll get some small toys and candy. You cannot have a Christmas stocking without candy in it.

Well I must get back to work. I would also like to make a sweater for myself for the Christmas.
