Special Hats

It has been a couple of months since I found this out and have just not had the chance to blog about it. My Grandparents who are full fledged snow birds at this point spend the winters in Arizona. This winter they decided to take up knitting. It is special to me because my Grandpa Brud was the king of knitting. I can remember so many times him make a blanket on his lap in the winter evening just until it was warm enough to fish again. Well Grandma Netto and Grandpa Larry or PAPA Larry as he is more famously known these days made a hat for Lucas and one for Addi. They have worn them a lot lately because we are getting a couple inches of snow a week around here these days. Luke loves his hat. It is done in Texas colors for him and he tells everyone whenever they ask about it.
Addi's first hat was a bit small for her and I could never really get it to stretch out enough for her to wear it. It would just shrink back up and fall off her head. Well for her birthday she got another one and so did her baby. Let me tell you, that was a super hit. The only problem was finding the perfect doll to put the hat on. Some may call it abuse how she went about that process but we won't dwell on that process. Poor things being thrown under the bed and into the play pen.
Addi wears it everywhere with her coat now.



They are so cute but I am secretly hoping that we will stop getting snow and move onto spring where we can wear light jackets and play outside in the grass!
