So on to other things...I finished up these rice bags about midnight on Christmas Eve, just in time to get them wrapped for Christmas morning. I didn't get mom's quilt completely finished either. I got it quilted but I didn't get the binding started. I gave it to her but brought it back home to work on the binding.
Here is Hunter when he got up Christmas morning, he can't even get his eyes all the way open! Look how dark it still is outside, it was very early!
I tried to hold myself together enough for Hunter. He was having a hard time too but we tried to ensure that he have the best Christmas that he could. He looks pretty happy here.
After we opened the gifts we headed to mom's for gifts and dinner. Here she is with her sling. Poor Momma.
I didn't get a photo of mom opening her quilt. :( And my brother and his family wasn't able to make it out either because of the snow. So there are 3 quilts for their kids to open. I did get one of Chantal with hers! She seemed to like it but she already knew about it anyway. 
The girls didn't get to come down until the 26th. Here they are opening a few gifts. After that we headed to town to Richard's grandmother's house where the rest of his family was going to meet. It turned out nice.
Now some news on MOMMA! Thanks so much for the prayers! Just another example that Prayers do work!! Mom went back to the doctor today and it was good news!!! He said that he didn't think she would have to have the surgery done again!!!! See last time he thought it was completely torn loose. He gave her that shot in the shoulder and said there was a very slim chance that it was scar tissue against nerves but he really thought it was torn loose. He said the shot would determine it for sure. If the severe pain came back then she would have to have surgery! So at that time it didn't look good because he was convinced another surgery was needed. So......today she went back to the doctor and the pain had been better for a day or two so now he thinks she will be fine and no other surgery will be needed. She starts therapy soon. So thank you all so very much!! I had been doing so much sewing this past month that after Christmas I wanted to take a BIG break! But now I am trying to figure out what I can work on that will keep my mind off of Andrew some. My house is a mess from all of the sewing that I had been doing and then also from the Christmas holiday. Maybe I can dig through and find something...

They also had a section of the park that had large wooden cards setting up, this one measures somewhere around 6ft tall. It was by Marathon Oil, that is the company that my mom works for so I thought she might like to see it.
