Girly kinda of weekend….

My oldest daughter celebrated her 16th birthday last Friday and we spent the day being girly, which continued over the weekend.

She got her first pedicure–well, I needed one too:

Her toes are the red ones   Lime green are mine (of course)!

Then her dad surprised her Saturday morning with her first riding lesson.  She loves horses but has never been on one:

We also colored her hair this weekend for the first time….DOH, her hair is soo thick and long I wasn’t thinking and only go one box of color realizing after that bottle was empty, we needed more.  Luckily it blended well with her natural blonde tones, it looks acceptable for school…whew.

Then Sunday we made more salsa….mmmmmm…salsa:

What a fun weekend…

Seasons Greetings….

from my family to yours…

I’m still around….

but haven’t had time to read up on blogs and other favorite internet spots. While I’m missing all the good and wonderful things everyone is doing, I’m taking care of December stuff.

I have sewn several holiday gifts and a few birthday ones as well. Planning on basting 2 quilts to hopefully have quilted by end of next week – both are lap size and gifts for my sister and niece (who arrive hopefully here next Wednesday).

I can’t share quilty pictures yet, mainly because they are gifts, but I have some other holiday pictures to share. . .

My youngest prepared for her holiday choir concert:

Off to work, though looking forward to 2 days off this weekend – it’s been a while and I’m behind on my normal household duties.
