Look what Santa brought me for Christmas!!!  It will be a lot easier filling a kiln that’s 8″x8″x6.75″. If Pete’s home tomorrow, I’ll do the initial test firing tomorrow, then maybe load it the next day!

I would have taken a picture of the actual kiln I received, but my camera (aka Humpty Dumpty) took a spill yesterday, and now won’t turn on.  At least I got a few pictures of Isaac opening some presents.  Very funny–after the first few “soft” packages, he figured out that they were clothes, and didn’t bother opening the rest.   How soon they figure it out!  After we opened presents at home, we headed down to my parents’ house.  He dug right in to the presents, said, “oooh, wow!” with each present he opened.  We ate, then ate some more.  Finally at about 7 pm last night, he walked along, put on his winter hat, and said, “bye bye” to everyone, blowing kisses.  I guess he was done!

Hope everyone had a happy holiday!
