Nov 26: It is hard to believe that Birthday Month is coming to an end. Today I got another AU ornament. Initially I decorated the bedroom with them but on Iron Bowl Saturday Eric used them to decorate our front door to ward off evil Bama spirits.
Nov 27: My gift on this day was a pair of AU tights for me to wear on my birthday. I was quite concerned as tights have never been my friends. However I have lost enough weight that they fit great.
Nov 28: It’s a new iPad. I have an old one that has difficulty holding a charge and Eric has been keeping it going for me. Now it will be easier to charge it and my responsibility. And I had it up and running before I went to bed (tech savvy).
And on my birthday we had all four of our children here: first time all together in 27 years. I felt like crying but I didn’t. We even had three of the four spouses plus some of the adult children. There were lots of laughs and a significant amount of AUBURN/alabama trash talk.
As you can tell from this picture, fun was had by all. And I spent the whole day smiling, I was so happy.
Nov 29: Before I could get up Eric presented me with these owl wind chimes. The owl is beautiful and the chime is delicate. I think I will attach it to the bed so I will hear the chime with movement. I wonder how long that will last. 
Nov 30: My last Birthday Month gift is on back order and didn’t make it here. I guess the good news is that I still have one gift to look forward to. The bad news is that it leaves this month incomplete. But it has been a really fun month and I have enjoyed sharing it.
One more thing, I did get these socks done and gifted to my daughter on her birthday (16th). Because they were started before I got sick and were finished after I finally have begun to feel so much better, they really felt special.
And now we leave Birthday Month and enter the Christmas season. See you back here next November 1st for another Birthday Month. Meanwhile we will continue with our regularly scheduled knitting and hopefully quilting blog. Have a great week, Gari

You had a really fun birthday month and how special that all of the children made the effort to be there with you. I know how hard it is to get the whole bunch together.
So glad that all your kids got home for your birthday. It's so hard to get everyone together these days it seems. Hope you had a wonderful birthday month. Looking forward to more of your regular programming.
