Catching Up

  I didn't get here much in the fall so let's catch up a bit.

                                        

In November we had a visit with all three boys (along with their young ladies - and their pups) 

So rare to get them all in the same place at the same time. Short, but sweet.

While Jason was here, some friends came by to visit. They spent so much time in our home when they were in high school - it's nice to see the young men they have grown into and that they remain friends.

At Thanksgiving we took Tyler to 'Santaland'. (drive through Christmas light park) They have added a lot since the last time we were there, granted it has been many years since we have been. 
Tyler had the primo view.

Mid-December we joined Timothy, Cindy and Tyler and celebrated Tyler's birthday at Medieval Times.

Since we are already over half-way through January, I won't take you on the whole tour, but here are the three main trees. I don't know why the big tree looks like it's leaning in the picture - it wasn't.

I will show you my mantle - I completely changed it from years past and I loved it so much I took down the stockings and the trees are still there! They will probably stay there until I put out Valentine decorations.

Last but not least, our outside lights for 2021. 

Hubby likes to add something new each year - this year he added the ground lights and wrapped the two trees. I prefer all white lights but he pushed me out of my comfort zone and added red on the ground. I'm still undecided.
That big, bright blob is a snowflake and is really pretty but does not photograph well.

What will he add next?

So glad you were all together. Your home is just so beautiful. I can tell the family enjoys it.

I enjoyed seeing your catch up pictures, Tina! I like the red and white lights along the ground. Reminds me of peppermint candy!
