Christmas is probably my favorite time of year.... besides \ the excitement of Advent, for sure, but, also, because of family, especially, now when family is more and more spread apart...therefore, it is my delight to pull out all the stops at Christmas!
I started blogging in 2008 and this was my first digital Christmas
looks like we were all set for the Christmas Eve gathering.
Christmas Morning breakfast was a snowman affair in the sunroom that year!

The next year the Christmas breakfast was held in the dining room! SO great to have my mom and dad with us... regretfully, they wont be with us this year... They
are both bedfast now!
Praise the Lord, our dearest Amanda will be, though!
How sweet when she and Joshua were still living nearby and we got to hear them perform in the Christmas orchestra on Christmas Eve!
IN 2009 the Snow theme was blue!
Dont you like to mix it up? I do.. and in 2010 the Snow theme was enhanced with a snowy evening... so we had our Christmas Eve in the sunroom!
The Dining room also invited folks for a bit of a warming libation!
along with a tasty savory!
Another Christmas Morning... I see Amanda's favorite cranberry scones!
I believe I will recreate this scene.. I like it!
and, of course, there is nothing like Christmas lights!
Looks like I liked it in 2011 as well!
I had a nice mantel in 2011
Maybe I wont get my hair cut for Christmas... I kind of like it this length! heheheheheh
I really think this is interesting to see the effect of light each year...
So what about last year...
Last year was the last year we'd all be together... this year we'll be celebrating a bit here and yonder as we take Christmas to 2 separate nursing facilities... but I am determined to make this Christmas just as festive as I can... because this year, we are celebrating with our new granddaughter, Birdie!!!!
Congrats on the new granddaughter, all you decorations are very pretty. Have a wonderful holiday season. -Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
