Crafty-day

I am totally stinking at this daily blog thing, since I started two days ago and I already missed yesterday.  My mom didn't have to work yesterday so we had a girls day of Christmas shopping.  I know it's a little early, but I need to have my shopping done by Dec. 1st (my goal) so I don't have to do ANY when we get home from China.  M1 is very crafty.  She's decided this year to make a fleece tie blanket for both of her sisters.  So, off to JoAnn's we went yesterday to get the fleece.  Our plan today is to watch The Nativity Story and make the blankets.  School will wait until the afternoon and M2 spent the night with my parents last night. We have to get hers done before she gets home later.  I found a good site on Pinterest for a good way to make the blankets...different from the tying method.  It's here if you want to check it out.
We still haven't heard anything about our TA (travel approval) so we don't know anything about our trip.  Maybe we'll hear something next week.
