What a fun tradition. <br />You were not the only one wondering what was up with the RB parade - my husband and I looked all over the tv for that and the game. <br />BAP...hmmm, I just ordered Ann Dale - the chart, the linen and the silks - I am broke! And whew - never have I jumped into something so big - have a couple things to finish first. <br />Looking forward to watching your ATS progress.

It is too funny about your boy child's bed and room! Just wait a few more years, and you'll see how much worse it can get! hehehe!! My boy child is now 20, going to college locally and living at home and working two jobs, I think cleaning his room is the last thing on his list. Your dumplings look so yummy, too,<br />MelindaMerry Wind Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13693488571364309791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789554235806283705.post-45955481550764913112012-01-03T13:57:32.593-08:002012-01-03T13:57:32.593-08:00Happy New Year Margaret!

Nice progress on ATS, too!<br /><br />The dumplings look soooo good. <br /><br />I had to LOL at your son sleeping with stuff on his bed. My younger daughter sleeps with piles of stuff on her bed--mostly books, but also clothes, magazines, etc. One time I went up to discover that she'd been sleeping with an empty bucket on her bed--why it was on her bed in the first place is anybody's guess. We always joke that she'd be safe if a burglar came in the house at night because they couldn't find her under all the mess.Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789554235806283705.post-44903000171949923182012-01-03T10:10:31.187-08:002012-01-03T10:10:31.187-08:00Congrats on finishing that stocking!!!
