A Few More for My Sister

Here are a few extra pictures for my sister, who lives in Pennsylvania. Strange that I live right over the Ohio border, and Ohio borders on Pennsylvania, and yet she lives so very far away, in Lancaster. These pictures were taken at various times over the past couple of weeks.

Aunt Sarah brought a tiny capsule that, when water was added, turned into this washcloth.

And the next day, at Nora's birthday party. Bridget's nephew Blake is Nora's hero, along with the other nephews. She gobbled two slices to pizza at the party because, most likely, she was sitting at a booth with the boys and they were gobbling pizza. Usually, she isn't a gobbler of anything. Back in the days when she'd eat little except for wheat bread and swiss cheese and bananas, she ate her first chicken nuggets with Blake. And her first cake.

A Christmas Eve reminder from mom to stop and say "thank you" before going on to open more presents.

Aaron loved the 4-wheeler from Aunt Sarah with the various buttons for sound, but there's nothing like the box.

Nora's bike from Aunt Sarah. There was a quick ride outside later.

Christmas morning -

And for my quilting friends, tomorrow there will be a quilting picture, I promise.
