Edelweiss Knits and Crochets: Christmas Party at Mom's

We had our Christmas party at my mom's last night. She always schedules it for a week or so after Christmas. I am glad that she does :). It gives everyone a chance to do their own things with their families and then come back together. I love that I don't have to worry about scheduling conflicts or anything with mom's get together. It is pretty much always relaxed and everyone just hangs out until I start giving out presents. I am usually the one that gets impatient and wants to see everyone have their presents :) So I will start pestering everyone to get in there and open them... I try to snap pictures but there are so many people and everything happens so fast that I have given up on getting many good ones. I did however manage to snap a pic of everyone I knit a hat for, plus a group shot of the kids all together. We were missing a few kids, but still had quite a crowd.

My niece Debbie wearing her new beret and feeding my great niece Elliana who is wearing her new kitty hat.

Tiffany is wearing the slouchy blue and brown striped hat I made while playing with a funny toy mom had picked up at the mission :) I think it went home with Tiffany.. I wonder if she has driven her poor mom & dad mad with it yet ;) That is her mom, Paula, there on the left.

Here is Tiffany wearing the hat that I made for her :) Not sure why she is making this expression.. Maybe she is in awe over how great a hat it is? ;)

I had a hard time getting a pick of Nicholas with his eyes open :)

Here we have Baby Ellie (Elliana) wearing her kitty hat. She kept wiggling it around and getting it off all night, but it did look very cute on her.

This is my nephew Garrett wearing the blue ribbed hat that he chose from my collection of 'guy hats'; his buddy Logan (who lives with them) chose the green and brown striped one.

Here is another shot of Logan and his hat.. I think it goes well with his coloring :)

Garrett being silly with his new hat :) The blue brings out his eyes, so he made a great choice :)

This little cutie is my niece Kayleigh. Look at those pretty brown eyes :)

I think Kayleigh likes her Cuppycake hat :)

This is my niece Dessirae :) She seems to like her Cuppycake hat too!

Cheyenne finally put on her hat and was happy with it :) She didn't want to put it on at first, but once she had it on she was running everywhere telling us about her new hat ;)

My niece Jess, being silly, modeling her new Midnight in Georgia Cowl.

Jess, Debbie, and Max :)

Looks like Jess is about to eat Debbie, but Debbie is holding her back with the power of her evil eye stare!

This hat was made for my niece Jasper, but she wasn't there last night.. so Jess is modeling it for me :)

My daughter Korina and my niece Dessirae are modeling their hats :) Korina crocheted her hat all by herself! She has become quite crafty lately, she whipped up this hat in just one evening :)

My niece Jess' husband Mike wearing his new hat :) I have to say it suits him quite well.

Mike, Jess, and Ellie :) Mike and Jess swapped Christmas gifts for a picture :)

Here is Tiffany playing with Jess' cowl :D

Tiffany still playing in the cowl :D Maybe I will make her one soon..

My mom and her great grandbaby Ellie. :) I forgot to have mom put her headband/earwarmer on for a pic. Maybe she wore it this morning to keep her ears warm on the way to work, brr it is cold out!
