A Visit with the Fairy Princess

We enjoyed a lovely visit with the Fairy Princess. Everyone received a crown. Then we went downstairs to the Billiards/Game Room for a cookie, etc.

Twinkle Christmas Pop-up

We stumbled upon a Christmas pop-up at Tanner's.  They used a whole lot of lights.

This Santa Is Big!

This guy and his reindeer (off on the left) are huge. Eudora goes big. The house is dwarfed.

Ready, Set, Aim

Dad loved spraying our Christmas trees with artificial snow after we decorated. Steve and I are watching while Scott is distracted. One year I got a face full because I mistakenly stood on the opposite side of the tree during the application.

Stocking Stuffer

Colin helped me finish up the stockings we were filling for the unhoused. We started the project Sunday at church but were missing a few items so had to complete them.

Tree of Photo Clocks

The Christmas tree in the Kauffman Gardens orangery features photos of the garden through the seasons with clock hands. The display is called "Frozen in Time."

Journey to Bethlehem

Stacy, Adam, Colin and I traveled to Bethlehem at Southminster Presbyterian Church. Colin is the wraith in the front. He loved the live sheep but was startled by a loud soldier. They do an excellent job telling the story.

Merriment at Crown Center

Enjoyed the Hallmark Experience festivities at Crown Center. The foolishly shaped Mayor's Christmas Tree is much better with a light show.

Leaving a Trail

In the moonlight as the snow has melted we can follow Colin's footsteps in the backyard. He was busy "leaving a path" when playing in the snow, which wasn't as obvious at the time.

Happy Holidays!

It's time for the Morgan snowmen to appear. Morgan and Hayden appear with them in 1997.

Snow Day!

Colin was loving playing in the snow. He also asked for snow ice cream. He's been asking since July but we just now had the main ingredient.

Snow in the Face

My snowman barely made it out into the yard before she got a face full of snow! Happy December!

Hanging the Greens

We decorated the sanctuary after the service. As always, Hayden was helpful, and fun!

Preparing the Sleigh

Santa is getting the sleigh ready with the help of an elf. I guess Rudolph is going to pull it alone.
