Mom is coming on January 23 for my birthday and Mandi's baby shower (the 24th). Aunt Nancy will pick her up from the airport and we'll be going over to Mandi's friend's house to decorate. Mom and I will spend my birthday shopping and going to lunch. Then she'll be going home Tuesday night.
The GNO girls and I are planning on doing something for my birthday on the 18th.
Also: Sariah is throwing a Party Lite candle party at her house on the 14th.

Pattern Ordered
Today I ordered the pattern for the perpetual calendar. Total cost was $5.98. It will arrive between January 11 and January 27.
Later I cut out the first piece of fabric for a Christmas stocking. Hope this works!
Carol and Kristy looked through my cross stitch magazines and books to find something they wanted me to stitch for Carol's piano bench. They decided on a design from the "Cattitudes" book - "Life is like a piano, etc." Carol will measure her piano bench when she gets home and tell me the measurements so I can buy the fabric.
I also gave Carol the framed "Music" piece I did back in Logan. She saw it in the magazine and liked it, and I had it in my closet. I haven't hung it on the wall for a long time because it doesn't really match my taste anymore, but it's so pretty and nicely framed, I hated to toss it. I'm glad she can have it. She and Kristy are so nice about liking my projects. :)

Journal: New Year's Eve
Bob and Carol, Kristy and Steve are all here visiting and it's going well so far. They're staying at the Red Lion motel by the airport. They flew in yesterday, and Carter and I picked up Kristy and Steve at the motel so we could pick up their rental car in Vancouver. Then we went to lunch at Burgerville.
Later in the evening they came over and we went to Gustav's restaurant, a German place. The food was pretty good and there was a fun accordion player strolling around, playing songs. He played a few fun songs for the kids, "Beer Barrel Polka" for Carol, and "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof. I sang along and he said, "How do you know all the words?" I told him I was in the play once, and he said, "Were you Tevye?" Ha
Carol, Kristy and Steve took Bob back to the motel, then went to the store. We took Brennan and Girlfriend to her sister's house to spend the rest of the evening, then came home. I fell asleep and Dad woke me up at 11:55 to count down to 2010. I served the sparkling cider I bought earlier (I also bought noisemakers and horns). Carter was the only kid awake - Bella came out at 12:45 and was bugged that we didn't wake her up.
I went to bed at the same time Bella woke up. Eventually Dad went to pick up Brennan. Carol, Kristy and Steve went back to the motel.

My sister is expecting!!!
She is due June 16th, 2010!! :)
"And there was in that house, much moaning and wailing from the Cold and Pantsless; but behold, much laundry was washed, dried, folded and put away that day, insomuch that the cries of clothing joy were heard throughout the house. And there was great rejoicing in the land on that day"
Also: I'm a terrible mother for letting her children jump on a frosty trampoline and wishing school started a week earlier.
