All MY CHRISTMAS TREES

Can you believe I forgot one?!! Or two?!!
Two are not trees, but I love them just the same!

I thought I'd share pictures of all my trees (before the 12 days of Christmas is over)!

HOLIDAY TRADITIONS

Whew!

It didn't almost happen this year, but we managed to squeeze it in! For 20 + years, we (my close friend G and I) have baked dozens and dozens of cookies, for family, friends, and our children's classes, as there were 4 kids between us! Of course, we always made enough to keep some cookies for ourselves as well!!

This year we got our cookies made rather quickly (thank goodness for double ovens!), and our families had dinner together- Pizza and Salad! You guessed it--Cookies for dessert!!

I am blessed to have G in my life! Thanks for {aways} being there for me!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from ME to YOU!

Annual Holiday Open House

Tis the Season you know--for friends, family and 'Good Will' to man! This past Sunday was our 2nd 'Holiday Open House' we host for Friends, and Family. The weather played havoc on our travelers and a couple of the northern ones, didn't make it down. However, friends in our neighborhood did make it and a few adventurous 4-wheel drives did, too!

The main attraction (as always) was our train display! It's a hobby our family has shared for years (my FIL and his BF started it about 40 years ago, and we inherited {all} the trains about 5 years ago!). This year we added the upper level for the N Gauge(s) and the Trolley for the HO Gauge train, which goes around the Christmas Decorated Village, so unique! Everyone enjoyed it and feasted on snacks as well!

There was an Ornament Table, for the kids to make ornaments to take home, with some of the adults enjoying the craft as well!

Sharing and Celebrating the Season of our Chanukah and Christmas Traditions with our Friends and Family is a JOY for us! I love decorating (all) my Christmas Trees and placing a 'special' ornament (each year) for 'you know who', maybe some day, she will know, she was thought about.

Merry Christmas to everyone and enjoy some of our pictures!
