Christmas - Birthdays In November

Grandma and Grandpa were here for Thanksgiving. We also celebrated Christmas since we will not be together for the holidays along with Grandpa and Patrick's Birthdays!

Grandpa made an oak chest and walnut special box for Patrick. Due to my spectacular abilities all of the pictures are complete shit. (I wasn't even drinking!) But you will get the general idea.

He has also made one for Bobby and when he returns to the US he will have to stop by his Grandfather's to pick it up. It would be too difficult to ship it to him in HI. The chests he makes are just beautiful. He also made me one that I am using for a coffee table and it is lined with cedar! The smell reminds me of the closets in the house he built that we used to live in on Hyde Road. I used to play in and hide in the closets when I was little.

Patrick also received his birthday present early from his Father! He was so thrilled I cannot describe it. He received Burton Cartel bindings and gloves!! In anticipation of the season and competitions he was allowed to open them early!

Look! They Fit!!!

All Ready To Go!! Let it Snow ... Let it Snow .... Let it Snow!!!!!
