A Christmas Dress for Lexi….
Today’s Fortune: A simple kindness today will bring you great reward.
I sure hope my fortune is right because I am being extra nice to Mom today. She has been wanting to blog about knitting ever since we got back from North Carolina, so I told her I would do it for her. That is mostly because when Mom blogs about knitting, it is really boring, and I don’t want people to go to sleep while they are reading my blog.
While we were in North Carolina, Mom knitted a baby dress for our grandbaby, Lexi. This is what it looked like when it was done.
She made it out of some really soft yarn called Fiesta Boomerang. A fiesta is a party, and a boomerang is a thing that comes back to you when you throw it. This yarn is really soft and pretty, but we did not have a party with it. It is also not like a real boomerang. If you throw it across the living room, it does not come back to you. It just sits there. I think the name is misleading, but it is good yarn.
Lexi looked very pretty in her dress.
Mom took lots of pictures so we would have good ones of my brother and his pretty little family. This one is one of our favorites.
And here is a picture of Mom with Lexi in front of their Christmas tree. Their tree is much bigger than ours. I’ll bet it took a whole day to decorate it.
Lexi is a very cute baby. She has lots of dark hair, and it gets really curly after her bath. She also smells really good most of the time. We love her a lot!! Mom says she is the bees knees.
Mom said I should do a book review, as long as I am blogging about knitting. The pattern for the dress is called “Brittany Jumper”, and it came from a book called Minnowknits Too: Uncommon Knits for Kids Big and Small. I tried to read it, but it was written in code. It has lots of nice pictures, though, and a whole bunch of really good outfits that Mom can make for our grandbabies. Me and Mom give this book five pezzes for having such good patterns for us to make for Lexi and Lily.
Mom has more knitting blogging she wants me to do, but it will have to wait for another day, because we have lots to do today. Today is Christmas Eve, and Uncle Phil and Aunt Karon are coming over tonight. Me and Mom are going to make lots of good snacks, and I will blog about them later.
And Santa Claus comes tonight!! Me and Dad are hoping he brings us a Man Room and Xbox 360. I hope his sleigh is really huge, ’cause a Man Room takes up a lot of real estate.

Noah,
Your niece looks so cute in that pretty dress that your mom made.
Have fun with your family tonight. I’m guessing that you’re the official snack taster today?
Merry Christmas!

Noah,
I received your package today! Thank you SOOOO much for the presents. Laura is absolutely thrilled with her tote bag. You know she will be transporting me back and forth to the bank in it, or any other adventures we might encounter. I love the magnets you made for me. They are so cool! You and your mom are very talented. Thanks for being so thoughtful! I will be posting pictures of my gifts very soon.
I hope you are enjoying your Christmas day and may many more good gifts come your way!
Love,
Big Monkey

Merry Christmas, Noah and Puglet!
Did you and your dad get your man room from Santa? I know you got a lot of snow. Snow is good for snowball fights, building snowmen and snow forts. It’s also good for skiing and sledding. But that’s about all. It is not good for drivers. It can be treacherous. But it sure is fun to play in. Have a wonderful day. little buddy.

Hi, Auntie Pam!
We did not get a Man Room. Or an Xbox 360. Or a Playstation 3. Or a baby. Maybe next year.
Mom says the snow is too wet to make a snowman right now. All I would get is a slushman. Which is not nearly as fun.
Love, Noah

Hi, Big Monkey!
I am glad you got your package! Your mailman is better than ours. Our mailbox was frozen shut yesterday, and he did not come up to our house to give us our mail. We are very glad you like your presents!
Christmas has been so fun! I got lots of neat stuff from Santa. I am going to go read your blog now, and see how your Christmas is going!
Love, Noah

Hi, Big Monkey!
I got to be better than a taster! Mom let me cook! That is because I pointed out to her that Laura lets you cook, so she let me cook, too. But I had to have Adult Supervision the whole time. We made lots of good stuff, and still have enough to eat snacks for dinner again tonight.
Love, Noah
