Oh, how I love Christmas...

Oh, how I love Christmas. The girl's arrived Sunday morning dressed nice and cozy because it was freezing outside and not much warmer inside.

They went right for the toy closet and pulled everything out.
That night we bundled up to go look at Christmas lights. Baby it's cold outside.

Wonder what Granmommy has in her stash? Cap, gloves...

The next couple of days we stayed home...too cold to get out and everyone was pretty much run down...but we had lots of fun waiting for Santa.

Look the Christmas cactus bloomed ontime...I don't know how it does it.

Christmas Eve we packed up everything (except my camera) and went to the cousin's...yes, we left a note letting Santa know where we were.

So serious...

Here's a picture sent via the other Granddad of T and L...

Hope everyone had a great Christmas...I know I did...

Oh, how I love Christmas.

Are you ready?

This time next week, we will all be sitting around talking about all the fun we had and all our wonderful blessings. Enjoy this glorious time.

Company Christmas party

This year for the first time, I got to go to the Christmas party. I had heard about this home for many years and now I have seen it...I have miles to go before my house is this 'fab'...more is better. Since ML couldn't go, I am posting for her.

Love the shutters, think I will do this in my bedroom...now I just need a trip to Canton to find them.

And last but not least, we had the ever so popular gift exchange, and the boss sported one of the bows after unwrapping her gift. (Of course the gift was stolen, so she had to relinquish the bow.)

'NINE DAYS' Can you believe it?

I love it when my 'kids' come to visit. Tate is scooping out the 'Christmas window'.

Julian ooed and ahhed for me, too.
That night we went up to Santa's village. It was the first time we had been up there while Santa was able to visit too. Normally we go right after Thanksgiving when they are setting up and we have the whole place to ourselves.

One last look to check out GMommy's own little 'Snow Village'.

How many days???

18 days

This is a new little house I got the other day for the shelf in my bedroom...happy hollydays.

19 days til the big event

Christmas is fast approaching. I have the kitchen table all set up with wrapping supplies so if anyone wants to come on over for some little 'elf wrapping' let me know. In the meantime, I am waiting for some little elves to come help me with the Christmas lights. Have a great day.
