Our Gingerbread House

We had so much fun making this gingerbread house! (Thanks Holly!)

Also, a great book to read when making gingerbread houses:
This is one of our favorites!

Smiles For You...

Merry Christmas!!!

News Flash....

We just got rid of our land line, and have gone wireless. Jeff and I both have Verizon cell phones now. Jeff's number is the same number we've had for years. If you'd like my number, call Jeff and ask for it, or email me. For those of you who have Verizon cell phones, we can talk to you for free...Yay! We also have free nights and weekends.

Waiting For Christmas...

K fell asleep next to the Christmas tree!

J saw that I was taking pictures of her brother, and decided to "go to sleep too!"

Decorating For Christmas

We've been decorating our Christmas tree...and thinking of all of you! We have so many special Christmas ornaments that have been given to us through the years, and taking them out every year reminds me of where they came from. All of them have a story, or a person to go with them. K and J love to hear about them!

Some are hand-made ornaments from special friends for our first Christmas after we were married...
Ornaments from my childhood, some were wedding gifts, some from children I cared for...

A pinecone angel in all her splendor with her milkweed pod wings, and acorn head and playing her golf tee trumpet!

Treasures brought from special friends from far off countries...

Hope you are having a happy holiday season wherever you are!
