Titus' stocking the 3 guys pengiuns ice skating...the stocking is hidden, b/c he cannot keep his 2 yr old hands out of it !
Noah's stocking, it a needlepoint pic of him sitting with kitten by fire, and the stone on stocking holder is NOT coal, but a rock treasure he found !
Mom & Dad's elfish stockings, can you see the Holly berries on mine ?

Christmas are you getting Ready?

Christmas is my favorite time of year, and there is much fun planned for our family.
Tonight we will tour Historical Downtown Leesburg for their First Friday night.
The local shops will be decorated, and stay open late. A young couple from our home town will be here to visit with us.
We will get our live Christmas tree, put lights on it, and hope it survives, at least until Christmas Eve. when we will put out collection of mish mash decorations.
Our church will have 4 services Christmas Eve. I will volunteer in nursery for one, sit with family for another, then eat "Pastor's & Worship teams' dinner" at another.
Fresh cold cuts and chips, lol !
I'll keep updating and hopefully share pictures of the upcoming events :D
