Well a year has come and gone since the Lord called Papaw home. Like I said in my Thanksgiving post, it is hard. Just because this was Christmas #2 without him, didn't make us miss him any less. Back in February when my Dad and his siblings were cleaning out the house and selling things I asked to have some of Papaw's shirts. I planned on making pillows for all of Papaw's kids. Spring, summer, and fall came and then the week before our Christmas party, I decided that I had better get on the ball. I had never intended making the pillows for Christmas gifts, but the more I thought about it, the more I figured it was a perfect idea. So on our shopping trip to Little Rock we picked up four pillow forms, some Heat and Bond (you didn't think I was sewing these did you?!), and a measuring tape.
Mom and I started out doing these, but when we messed up Makena took over!
Carlie tried to help (when Makena would let her)!
Makena did end up having to stitch up the mistakes we made.
The finished product.
I think they were pretty pleased!!

Our family
Me and most of my first COUSINS (and sister).
It was nice to get together with everyone and get caught up with what is going on in their lives. I hope that this is a tradition that we will keep doing!
Much Love,
Beth
