How I wish I could stay at 35....oh well. Welcome 36!!! I feel a wee bit old today as I usually do every time I have a birthday. Funny how time flies. I can remember my 2nd birthday when I spat out my candles! Now I just blow them out. Thank goodness we learn from our mistakes!So today, my mom and I will be making a special Lenten cake because we are not eating dairy or eggs. It'll be a chocolate cake with some icing on top. My sister, her boyfriend, my brother, my auntie and best friend and her children will all be here for my birthday dinner. My mom just came in the room and said I was such a tiny baby when I was born and that she cried with joy. Moms are funny aren't they! She says I will always be her baby!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's. We had a lot of fun out in the snow. It actually wasn't too bad with the firepit. We all took turns warming our backsides!! As soon as we finished with the fireworks though, we went inside. My husband and Dad stayed out there chatting for another 2 hours! Brave men!!

My Dad spent a lot of time snowblowing and setting up a nice area for everyone to enjoy! I thought it looked great!
Here are some photos of my parents tree. Recognize that snowman ornie? I made that for my Mom earlier this year.
There are a lot of white birds on their tree. My Mom loves birds. I think they make the tree so pretty. Luckily Titus isn't around because he would tear them off! Oh how I miss my Titus!
I haven't done a lot of stitching, but I did finish a teeny tiny Noel heart and started LHN's Baked Goods last night. I am stitching Baked Goods 1 over 2 on Creme Brulee 40 ct. linen with DMC and my favourite red, Nancy's Red from Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe.
Before I left for Prince George, I finally received my materials for Hannah Brassington. Wow. AVAS silks are scrumptious!! I can hardly wait to start Hannah when I get back home. I would have brought her up here with me but I need room in my suitcase for Christmas presents, so I left her.
That's all for now! I hope to spend some time visiting blogs in the next little while but every time I go to the family's computer, someone wants to use it or else they want me for something or other!! Even writing this post was difficult...many interruptions!
Big Hugs to you all!!
Anne

I remember my 36th Birthday, I was 43 weeks pregnant and the baby didn't come for another week after that! You do get served quickly in shops though.
Love the cute little heart and the threads for Hannah. I'm using AVAS for the first time and they are scrummy!

Happy happy birthday! You are such a youngling. lol! And your mom is so right. You will always be her baby, just like my kids will always be mine. :D Love seeing your mom's tree with the pretty birds -- wow! And the ornie you made her -- I remember that one!

I hope you are having a delightful birthday, Anne! And you are definitely NOT old :) I still call my 24 year old son "my baby," too!
Love your new starts, especially Baked Goods--that is on my "must stitch list" this year, too.
Wishing you a wonderful year ahead filled with much love and laughter...Sending you a big hug!

Happy Birthday to you, Anne!
Your New Year's night looks and sounds great. And oh, you already have your pattern for the SL Challenge. Mine is still on its way but as soon as I have it I'll start stitching. I already love this new adventure.
Happy birthday!! I loved seeing pictures of your mom's ornaments. I dream of having a tree with bird ornaments one day, stitched and then bird figures, too.
Lovely WIPs!
Many happy belated returns! Love the little heart you stitched.
Happy Birthday. I hope your special day is wonderful.

Happy belated Birthday and New Years. I have been so far behind in reading blogs. Hope to stay on top of it better this year.
Sorry to read about your Grandfather. What a lovely little tribute you wrote.
Stay warm that looked a bit too cold for me.
Teresa's Heartfelt Stitches
Happy Belated Birthday Anne. What a lovely post as always and great pictures. Brrr - sitting out in the winter in front of a fire - must have been fun though. Love the little red heart you stitched and the wonderful and loving tribute you wrote about your grandfather. Have a most wonderful day and week :)
A day late, but Merry Christmas dear! I believe it was yesterday for you :))) I hope you had a great time and lots of fun!
Happy Birthday Anne! I hope that you enjoyed your chocolate cake and stayed warm! It looks cold there! lol
Happy Birthday Anne! You've said welcome 36 and I've said welcome 26 on that very same day!
Happy Birthday Anne, I'm glad you had a good day
Happy Birthday Anne! the snowman ornie is awesome, love it.
Have a nice day. xoxo
Happy Belated Birthday! I too am a capricorn, and today I feel old as well! Good bye 29, hello 30! Please tell me the thirties are better than the twenties, I had a blast, but leaving them makes me sad!
Happy late Birthday! Your Noel heart is adorable, and great start on Baked Goods :)
Belated Happy Birthday wishes!! Your New Year's celebration certainly sounded fun. Your Dad did a great job setting things up.
I had a terrible time with the birds on my tree and Clarisse this year. She never bothered with them last year but this year she wouldn't leave them alone! I caught her with several in her mouth.
Love your new start and your Noel heart is so cute!
I can't believe I missed your birthday! What a terrible friend/blog reader I am! SHAME! Happy Birthday, Anne! I hope it was absolutely wonderful!
