Our Christmas House

Good Morning Everyone!

First of all ~ 

I want to wish each and every one 

of you

a belated wish for the 

merriest Christmas ever.

I was so sick the days leading up to

Christmas, it was all I could do to

get ready.  I never did get completely

ready, but it was the best it could be.
Thankfully most of the decorating
was done, but the shopping, wrapping,
cooking, etc. was way behind, but

it truly was wonderful regardless

of not being up to par.

Lehmer and I went to Hollis and

Paul's Christmas Eve.  That was

the first time we have ever been away from

home on Christmas Eve. We had a

wonderful brunch in their beautiful

new dining room Christmas 

morning. Cameron and his girl friend, 

Summer, were there too.   

New memories in the making. 

It was so much fun to be 

together and get

to see Avery experience his

first real Christmas, by that I mean

he was really into what Santa

brought him and all of his other

gifts.  Just so special.

A while after brunch, Lehmer and

headed back up to Fredericksburg

so I could continue wrapping the

gifts and generally clean up the

mess that we had left behind on 

Christmas Eve. Boy, what a

whirlwind. A few hours later

everyone arrived here and we

finally opened gifts around

5:00. We never

got to the stockings until the next

morning.  Crazy ~ but so much fun.

Avery was delightful and so excited.

He would say Santa ~ HoHoHo.

With his little voice it was just the

cutest thing ever.  I hope I can get

it on video, so we can remember

it always.

Wanted to share some pictures with

you.  Hope you enjoy them!

Hope you enjoyed my little Christmas
"Show and Tell".  So sad that it is just about
over for another year.  I guess this means I
have to get back to work and start designing
for the new year. Wonder what it will 
bring. I have a few ideas, but I want to 
dwell in this beautiful season for a few
more days.
