Joy To The World!!

                The Birth of the rebel Jesus!

And Now, About to drift off to sleep!

                  In front of the tree in OUR house! Home for Christmas!

Hallie First Apartment- First Tree-First Topper

 So NO, we didnt get to be there to watch our daughter put "her first" Christmas Star on "her first"Christmas Tree in "her first"very own apartment! But she will be Home with us for Christmas!

 no she hasnt magically grown taller, shes standing on a stool! 

this was AFTER playing two soccer games back to back and scoring SIX goals altogether!

AS PROMISED!!!

           Abstract Lights Redux!

So the TREE is Up!

And lights are currently being generously applied! This is the 43rd Christmas Tree of our 43 years of marriage. Mostly all of the decorating is done by my young bride now! Quite a change from the first years and definitely different than when our daughter was young ( and at home full time)! In a few minutes I'll go take some "abstract photos" of the lights and then bow back out until its time to put the Christmas Star on top!
