Just a Few Pictures from Thanksgiving and a little Christmas too!!



Mom sets a pretty Thanksgiving table. The dishes my grandmother had! The silver is Buttercup.



This is how some of us spend the day after eating.



Other's spend it this way! R almost had Papa beat this time!!




The girls: Mom, me and my aunt! Every year at Thanksgiving before my grandmother died we always took a family photo. We didn't do it the first Christmas after she died because my dad had just had triple by-pass surgery and the following year we were in Disney. So we started the tradition again this year.



I wish I could say that this is the front of my house, but it is not! It's a house in my mom's neighborhood. I just loved it. Maybe next year mine will look this good!
I have an old wheel barrow that I put my gifts in. The bottom is now rotted out hence the white boxes on the bottom which hopefully will soon be covered up with packages if I could ever get out and SHOP!!!
My buffet in my kitchen. My SIL painted the sign for me last year for Christmas! And my favorite thing... Happy Everything plate; isn't baby Jesus just the cutest?
Outside by my backdoor! A huge lizard jumped on me while arranging this. It about put me right over the edge!!
So, here are just a few pics!!

2 friends have left a message for us:

What a beautiful picture of your family!!! LOVE IT!

Okay, I almost gave in and bought that plate when I was in Sew Unique the other week getting somethings monogrammed...fell in LOVE with it! My mom loved it too and I knew I couldn't get her one WITHOUT me one too;)

Got a little "happy" for you to add to your wheel barrow-maybe I can grab that coffee, tea, or whatever it may be soon!!
