days of celebrations

Happy New Year!!   We are back home in Florida for a few days and oh so busy catching up, seeing friends and family, kissing babies and a last minute surprise visit from my brother and parents which has kept me completely away from the computer.  So, for now, I will let our pictures tell the story of the past few days (with perhaps a few notes)

remembering how many hours I spent as a child staring into this Christmas village and pretending that I lived in that world.  My momma finally gifted me with the set a few years ago and it is one of my prized possession… Christmas through the eyes of a child
