These early days of December are fraught with all kinds of festive activities! Parties with wonderful friends...
delectable foods
gorgeous decor
all of which inspires one to get on the stick at home and get something done....
so off to get the tree...
getting the other tree up as well...
putting Lynn to work with the additional lights
hauling out the decorations
That's one down!
let's take a break and head over to Bellacino's looks like Christmas there as well.... Someone is starved!
Gee, let's take some home for tomorrow, what say???
so there is more inspiration... to work on the outside a little bit!
Up goes the banner...O Holy Night!
Up go the wreaths o'er candled windows...
Trim another tree or two...
and then time for another break....off to church for our Christmas pageant!
Angels lift their crowns before the Christ Child...
Because A baby Changes Everything!
Lest we e'er forget the true meaning for all the hub bub! The advent of our precious Lord and savior!
King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
Oh Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos. It was like being there with you. Thank you for sharing this with us. And I kept saying to Ian, "That's what it's like in America!" And it is. We have nothing AT ALL like that over here. We are limping along and doing our best to keep Christ in Christmas here, and we are grateful and blessed to be keeping Advent with devotions together. Our own house is all decorated. But oh, how I miss American Christmases. They are the best.
God bless your Advent season!
Love, Stacey & Ian <><
Glad to see that Dad got a pizza reward for all of his hard work! That's a great pic ;)

The linear photos really capture such emotion of preparing for Christmas. Especially like the pizza photos!
