I did not quite get his blanket done before he was born.
9 pound 11 ounces of healthy baby boy Gunnar! Grand child #12 for my baby brother and his bride.
Gunnar joins his siblings; Turner, Jordyn, Otto, Tallulah (LuLu) and Bjorn. They all belong to my nephew and his beautiful wife who live in New Jersey. We will get to see them all when they visit Minnesota next summer!
I finished his blanket yesterday and will get it in the mail when it warms up...we are back in the deep freeze again.
I got to see baby Maziar who lives in Boston, he is my baby brothers Grandson. I last saw Maz when he was just a few weeks old. He sure is cute and we enjoyed watching him play!
He is now 17 months old and came to see his Grandparents and Great Grandparents...I heard he liked the buttons on the bed at the Nursing Home where my Dad is. By the way Dad is doing okay physically for the moment, however he did not know who I was on my last visit.
One day I got a package in the mail.
Mug rugs and dish cloths from Sam in Arkansas a perfect gift! Thanks Sam!!
Here is one of of my projects that I finished at Craft Retreat.
It is a mosaic pattern that is crocheted over a muslin zippered bag. As you can see I still have plenty of yarn left! Always fun to have a good supply of yarn for projects! I have a number of muslin zippered bags waiting in the wings!

We had a bit of a blizzard yesterday. It snowed and the wind blew. I think we got about six inches of snow.
My baby brother came over and shoveled in front of the door and he and my niece gave my power shovel a try. For the record she was covered in snow too!
My baby brother and two of his Grands in the toboggan.
Far Guy was going to hike to the mail box...winds were gusting to 46 mph so I discouraged him.
I asked the "toboggan crew" to make a trip out to the mail box.
Niece Ellen is getting the mail ready for Xavier to deliver. The puppy Baxter was part of the delivery crew.
Ellen and the kids heading out. Making some good Minnesota Memories!
The Toboggan was built in Northern Minnesota.
Christmas Eve is here, we will get Far Guy to the Infusion Center and pick up weekly groceries curbside. I have one last package to drop off at my parents.

Three of my baby brother's Grands were over to visit.
They made snow angels.
Xavier went for a shovel ride.
They had serious discussions. They tromped through the woods.
And shared an icicle
It was a nice break in our day...it was just about 30 F but windy. After they left Neighbors Steve and Jo came over and shivered with us out on the patio.

It was a reasonably warm day 31 F or -1 C eh! Time for some social distancing out on the patio.
My other baby brother and she who sees robins first came over first. We enjoyed catching up with them! We were warming up after their visit and my baby brother and his bride and daughter Ellie and Grands were hiking over...they were exercising their new puppy in hopes that he would sleep real good as his first night was hard for him.
This is Baxter and he belongs to my baby brother and his bride. He is a Mini Australian Shepherd and he is almost 16 weeks old. He will be a regular visitor in our yard. He is a happy well socialized puppy that likes kids. He is a fluffball!
My baby brother and his Grandson Cruz who was trying out a snow board. He did quite well and will be zooming down hills before long.
Miss Marley was trying out some short skis and perfecting her moves.
Kids and dogs it doesn't get much better than that!
There is one more Grand but he was having a bad day...sometimes that happens.
It was a wonderful break in our day to have visitors.
Thank you everyone for the Anniversary wishes we appreciate them all!
