Christmas Presents

I wish I would have taken pictures of the handmade purses that I gave to Boulderin' Boyfriend's sisters. However, I forgot to do that and I don't want to ask them now...that might be a little weird. What if they say, "opps, I actually threw that away!" I did get a picture of my sister's quilt, which I am quite proud of. It was work for me to make, but I think it motivated me to make my own t-shirt quilt. Now that I know what I am doing it should go a lot smoother. And I can take my time.





I gave Boulderin' Boyfriend a few silly gifts (socks, rock climbing magnets, and a handmade t-shirt with a phrase that he and I always say to each other) and one big present, a tent. He has been wanting a nicer tent for car camping and I found a great deal on one from REI. It is a three person, three season tent from Sierra Design. I was especially excited by the fact that it came with a footprint, vestibule, attic (carry-all), and two cup holders. How cool is that? Boulderin' Boyfriend said it was one of his top two favorite gifts. He even took it with him the next day to go on a camping trip with a few of his buddies. When he opened the present my parents said, "okay, put it together, let's see it." At first he was hestitant, but I knew that he wanted to check it out. So in about ten minutes the tent was together and my parents then said, "okay, now get in and we will take a picture." In went Boulderin' Boyfriend and I followed along with his dog, Bodhi. It was a great Christmas day and I'm glad that I was able to spend it with him and my family.
