It was a sick week at our house (the longest week ever. ever) but with medicines, cough drops, & tissues in check we still managed to enjoy turkey. Little Mr. Pink Eye went away and Mr. Big Boy Ear Infection got better. We went over the river & through the wood to my parents' house for a dinner most delicious. Sneaking in 3 pies (from The Pioneer Woman's recipe blog - YUM) I was able to disguise our plague and everyone had a lovely time. When I got home did I realize I took nary a picture! Mom used a recipe from Ina Garten for the turkey and I know it was the best turkey of all time. Everything was fantastic and my brother brought his iPad so Ben had a fine time while Zack escaped to the big TV because watching TV at Mimi's house is apparently the best.
Z's preschool class had a Thanksgiving party and made crafts to wear for the occasion. Here's my little Indian.
On Saturday I took down all the Autumn decorations and began decorating for Christmas. I so love this time of year! Here are a few Christmasy scenes around the house so far.
Thank you to everyone who ordered during the Black Friday 4-day sale on my website. It was my biggest sale to date and I thank you for your sweet patronage. The notes you add to the comments section of ordering are very dear ~ thank you for taking the time to add a note. I'm delighted my designs bring joy. Epattern orders have all been emailed and those which were for mailed patterns and other items will be tended to beginning Wednesday. I had planned to tackle them today but now have an ear infection & sinus infection myself so you can imagine how perky I feel.
There's an old photograph app that I was playing with on my iPhone and had fun turning pictures into different ones. Like this one of Miss Maddy.

Love your decorations! Happy Holidays!
Glad to hear the sale was successful...and everyone is feeling better..love the Christmas decoration. I also began to get some cheer around my house...I do not do too much for Fall...I really like Christmas.
I am glad the kids are feeling better and hope you recover soon too. I love the glimpses into your Christmas decoration.
Love the decor for the holidays! I'm going to bring out the manger set this year. Hope you are feeling better!
I hope you feel better very soon. I love the daguerrotype of Miss Maddy. She's betraying far too much emotion for a Victorian cat, though. She seems to be saying, "You woke me up to tell me that?"
Ha! Very true, Christine :)
