Lovely pics! Thanks so much for the Japanese papers... they will make great pins. It was a thoughful and personal gift.
Wow, that was a really full vacation! I've always wanted to visit Chimney Rock. And now you've got me curious about some of the other places you visited. BTW, what was Mike showing Charlotte in the water in the next to last picture?
Sorry I missed you this past weekend. I had family in town, so I didn't get a chance to come by the store. Looks like you all had a wonderful time. So funny, but I have a picture of my father-in-law just like Charlotte's picture in the bubble at the aquarium . Charlotte's is MUCH cuter ;-)
Looks like you guys had a great time!
Thanks for the contest entry :)
It looks like you had such a nice time all together. Those are the holidays that you will remember in years to come. And all that yarn, obviously... A.x
