The Twelfth Day of the Twelve Days of Christmas...

On the twelfth day of

Christmas Mr. Ken and

I would like to wish

everyone a very Merry

Christmas and the happiest

of New Year's!

I'd like to say thank you

for following our crazy

antics and hope to see you

again in the New Year.

You guys are great and I

have enjoyed visiting with

you and getting to know

my new followers.

I'll see you again in 2011,

I'm going on a little blog

break to enjoy my holiday

break from school. BUT,

I'll be peaking in on you

from time to time.

Love to you and again,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Home Tour

Tis the eleventh day of Christmas and we will be going on a tour to see some Christmas decor. We will begin with the small wood village. ( one of my garage sale scores.) Now we will move on to the village from last year. This is the daytime view. If you were with me last year you'll notice that it has grown over the year. If you look closely you'll see new residents, snowmen, street lamps, and trees.

Don't you just love the little

trees in front of the tree store?

This is the view at night. If

you look close enough you

can see the lights in the street lamps. The police

station and the Victorian

house "on the top hill"

needed to have lights

ordered for them--which

are not easy to find. But the

good old internet came through

again. Hope you enjoyed this

year's village tour.

********************************

A candle on the wedge--it

smells like Cranberries.

The dining table is ready

for Mr. Ken and I to enjoy

our holiday meal together.

On this year's menu:

Sliced brisket

Baked potatoes

Garden Salad

Rolls

I went for a simple centerpiece

but I wanted it to have whimsy too.

A new plate from my friend

Nancy--it is waiting for

Santa's cookies and

Rudolph's carrots.

A Christmas snowman S and P

shaker--his head comes off,

watch out! Nancy gave me this

also.

Above the snowman is my

shelf with my scales--this

year I just put one ornament

ball on each scale. Simple

but festive.

Another simple arrangement

in the dining room behind the

table.

Have you caught my theme?

SIMPLE--Time got away from

me this year so I went the simple

route.

Even the tree went simple.

If you look REAL close you

can see that it is a Fiber Optic

tree--hard to get a lighted

picture of though.

Looks like Santa's elves are

busy with gifts for the "good

girl" and the onery boy who

live here. :)

Hope everyone is ready for the

"Big Day, " I think we are--

if not, oh well. :)

See you tomorrow!!!!

Time with Friends and the Final Preps...

On the ninth evening of Christmas,

Mr. Ken and I had a delicious

dinner with our good friends Dan

and Nancy at their cute little

"cottage." Dan made roast, potatoes,

carrots and onions. We also had warm

rolls! Dessert was a lemon bundt cake.

You can find Nancy at Acorn Cottage

also. (See my sidebar)

The evening was filled with good food,

great conversation and the warmth

of friends at Christmas.

*************************************

Today on the tenth day of Christmas,

we will be trying to beat a winter

storm that is supposed to give us

a white Christmas! Soooooooo we

will be on an errand spin through

out the city for last minute Christmas

stuff and groceries for our holiday

meal. It is late and I'll need to get

up soon for our tear around town.

Hope all your shopping is finished!
