Merry Christmas

Well here it is Christmas day! It has been a great day so far. Oldest son got here in time to eat breakfast cooked by hubby this morning. Oldest daughter wasn't able to make it home at all today but at least we got to celebrate Saturday with her and her boyfriend and his two little ones! Youngest ds and dd slept in this morning until around 10:30, then got up and we all opened gifts. There weren't many but everyone was happy with what they got! Hubby, with the help of youngest dd got me a new pair of warm comfy jammies....and that is what I have been wearing all day! LOL Oh it feels good to laze around! I was crocheting a monkey hat for my nephews gf's little boy, all I have left to do is the mouth eyes and ears, just not sure how and where to put them, so I thought I would take a break and update here! This hat was an after thought gift...I made him a sock monkey for Christmas and he loved it and I found out he loved hats too...so I thought I would make him one! I will post pics later when it is done, but I used the pattern from the Happy Hooker book but made it little larger (since he is 2 and has a larger head), added some ribbing and ear flaps! It is turning out cute and I can just see his little blond curls sticking out from underneath! All the other kids liked their sock monkeys too except for my one 3 yr old niece, she is such a girly girl and was disappointed that it didn't have any yellow on it! LOL I bet if I made her a dress with yellow on it for the monkey she would love it...so there's another wim! This morning my oldest son (21) said that he thought I was making the sock monkeys for each of my kids! Now he wants one.....he is always full of surprises that one! He's a kid that has no fear (he is a novice rider in a rodeo and just got his first 8 sec. ride a couple of weeks ago) So now I have at least 4 more to make for the new year! Looks like it's going to be a busy crochet year for me, I got 4 requests for the fat bottom bag too! Not sure if three of them are really serious, but they did say they would like one (but they aren't people I would just give gifts to and I don't know if they are willing to at least pay for materials to make them).
Well it's time to get supper in the oven and get back to that little hat and finish it so I can mail it off before he gets too big for it!
More later!
