Merry Christmas!

 

This picture was taken in the front yard of my old house some years ago. The figures were inherited from my grandmother. The manger was built by my husband and oldest daughter.

So far this year, we haven't had any freezes or snow. I'm sure we are due some.

Wherever you are, whatever your situation, I pray you all enjoy a beautiful holiday season full of your favorite traditions. May your best wishes come true.

Merry Christmas!

This picture was taken in my front yard a couple of years ago. So far this year, we've had a few freezes, but no snow. It hasn't slowed down our celebrating though (for more info, or pics, check out my facebook or instagram pages). 

We've stayed busy enjoying time with friends and family. I hope you are able to as well. Wherever you are, whatever your situation, I pray you all enjoy a beautiful holiday season. Merry Christmas!
