Here are some highlights of the gifts my family exchanged this year.<\/p>\n

SS, super-creative crafty mama, gave GC a handmade owl pillow and and assortment of other sleepy-time themed goodies.<\/p>\n

GC gave HN an awesome hi-tech camera, to fuel the passion of our budding photographer. It was quite a surprise because GC hid it inside of a large box.<\/p>\n

Baby J got many presents, of course, from his adoring aunties and uncles. He especially liked the book about the lost mitten. It was delicious.<\/p>\n

GC gave RC a jello fishbowl that she had made, with blue jello and gummy candy fish.<\/p>\n

BN made a clever photo holder for HN. After shopping around Santa Cruz, he couldn’t find anything like what he was looking for so he decided to make it himself.<\/p>\n

And… MA knit me an afghan!!!!!! Tears came to my eyes as I was opening it because as a knitter, I know that afghans are like the marathon of knitting. She drew my name last year in our exchange and she worked on it all year, for me. It’s beautiful – lofty, squishy, and warm. Definitely one of the most special gifts I’ve ever received.<\/p>\n

I did quite a bit of knitting for Christmas gifts, myself. I knitted a February Lady Sweater for SS: (Ravelry Link<\/a>)<\/p>\n

A pair of socks for BN: (Ravelry Link<\/a>)<\/p>\n

And baby socks for the babies: My brother’s son, expected in February; JWS, currently the most-photographed-baby<\/a> on my side of the family; and our little princess EAA<\/a> (she hates socks, unfortunately.) (Ravelry Link<\/a>)<\/p>\n
