We so enjoyed having Thayne's family here for Christmas, but - alas - all good things have to come to a close and their last day in Utah was on December 31st - Dana's 12th birthday and we were privileged to have them spend the day with us.
Dana had celebrated her birthday the day before with her Stanley grandparents and relatives - ending in a slumber(less) party with cousins .
We couldn't let the day go by without having a special birthday dinner for Dana with all of her favorite foods - meat and potatoes (and a few other things for the rest of us).
Dana, Shelby, Thayne, Jenny and Paxton.
Thayne said that Shelby wanted a sewing lesson so, upon arrival I showed her where the patterns were. She picked a fairly easy skirt pattern. We then looked through the cloth and she picked a navy blue fabric.
With instruction along the way, Shelby very patiently worked until she had sewed up this skirt. They left here around 6:30 New Years' eve to prepare for their return home to Michigan. (They called on Saturday to tell us they had arrived home safely).
