Mike and I went for getaway week at the end of October and came back just in time for Amanda's wedding on November 7 th . The week away did us both a world of good . We went to Cayo Santa Maria in Cuba , our time there was wonderful , beautiful hot weather , long walks on the beach and nothing to do but relax . We couldn't have asked for more ...
Amanda had a beautiful day for her wedding , she looked beautiful and so very happy . Don't they make a handsome couple !? I don't think you could meet a nicer and more suited couple than those two .
They were married by Matthews' mother who is a minister . She 's performed the weddings for each of her four sons , Matthew being the last one to tie the knot . It was a wonderful evening and we feel blessed to have been included in their special day . We wish them a lifetime of nothing but happiness !
Life has been a little more mundane since . I have been unpacking , doing laundry and just generally getting back into routine . We've attended a couple of Jesseys hockey games , we had an absolute blast cheering for him and the team . I'm not a hockey mom , but am definitely a hockey Omi . I am hoping to be able to go to most of his games .
I didn't do very much knitting while I was away , it was much too hot . Since coming home I did finish the Go Habs Go socks , making a pair each for Jessey and Mason .
The socks will go in the gift box for Christmas . I had trouble sleeping last night so I got up early to start another of the Top This ! hats .This time a monkey for Jessey . I have at least four more knits lined up that need to be done before Christmas . I am waiting for a delivery from Loveknitting.com for the yarn to knit Stella and Charlie each a shrug to wear with their Christmas dresses . No pressure , right . I have the yarn to knit them each a Burton Bear Cowl . At least one will get done this week if all goes as planned . They are knit with 9mm needles so it shouldn't take more than an evening or two right ?
Anyhow that 's it for today . Thank you for coming by and I wish you a good week ahead . Till next time ...

Glad you had a wonderful time in Cuba! You certainly deserved some vacation time.
Love the Habs socks. Such a happy looking stripe!
Good luck with all that Christmas knitting. Love those Top This hats. They are adorable!
Welcome home! We just got back from the beach too! I hope your weather and your vacation were as awesome as ours!
The Habs socks look fun - bet the kids will love them! If only we had a real hockey team :)
A beautiful bride and the shawl looks amazing.
I love Cuba!! I hope to go in the spring again. We went to Holguin in April, but this time I'd like to go to Varadero, maybe, and do a trip to Havana. Depends on if we travels with another couple or couples. Last time a group of 8 of us went, it was a blast!!
The Bridge is beautiful!! I'm doing a bit of Christmas knitting as well. Not too much, nothing big, but a bit. :)
Glad you had a great trip! And the wedding shawl looks perfect!
