Our Christmas Tree

Our little Christmas tree from the tree farm really held up nicely this year.  It still looks pretty and I really wish I didn't have to take it down this weekend.  What's most special about our tree is that both girls were home to go with us to the tree farm to pick it out.  That has not happened for some years so of course I took the camera and snapped a few pictures to remember our adventure. 


The girls and Milo pose for a picture.


It was cold afternoon for us who are use to warm Houston weather.  Hot chocolate was just what was needed.  


 Milo wore a better coat than Richard...


We did a lot of this, walking up and down many of rows of trees in search of the perfect one. 


When we did finally find our tree, Brittany helped to cut it down.


Milo and Meg watched.



Once home, our tree, although smaller than the ones of the past, looked beautiful all decorated.

Goodbye Christmas

Christmas has come and gone and it will soon be time to pack away all the decorations for another year.  Before embarking on this dreaded task and officially saying goodbye to Christmas , I took some pictures of our holiday home.

A Day At the Beach!

We spent last Thursday in Galveston with the girls, Ed and Delila, my mom and Milo.  It was a little overcast and the weather was cool but it didn't stop us from having a little fun on the beach!

Our Snow Village


During the Thanksgiving holiday when the girls were back from college, we all went to Old Town Spring.  While there we stopped and purchased a new addition to our Snow Village, the Opera House.



















Our village has been up since and will remain up until sometime in January. 
I love our little town and wish it could stay up all year!
