“It’s Beginning to Look…”

…a lot like Christmas!” Continued on with our Christmas decorating over the weekend. We put up our Department 56 North Pole Collection that we set up in our wet bar. We never really use it as a bar anyway so all we have to do it remove the tall faucet and then we have our big snowy platform that Jeff built that fits right into the bar. You can see a photo of it HERE. I ordered a needlepoint Christmas stocking for Jacob online and that arrived already so the next time Jessica visits, we can hang all of our stockings. Here’s a photo of Jacob’s stocking.

And here are the rest of our Christmas stockings. I needlepointed Justin’s and stitched Jessica’s for their first Christmasses.

We’re running out of room! We’re going to have to start a new row!

This morning, I’m going over to Jessica’s to stay with Jacob while she takes Ryan to class. Then on Tuesday, we’re going to try and make our Santa visit. She has Ryan’s same outfit that he wore for Jacob to wear. I loved that outfit because you could see his little bare feet. Here’s my favorite all-time Santa photo with the real Santa that we will be visiting, hopefully, on Tuesday.

   I love your Real Father Christmas I took a look at your Christmas village, they are so nice. I like the bottle brush trees you’ve used too. I think they must be easier to come by in the USA, as I’ve had quite a job trying to find them here.

   You’ve been busy!

   have a good start to the week xxx

   Happy Monday Darylynn;

   I love the Dept. 56 North Pole collection. When I watched the Santa Clause 1,2 & 3 this week, I thought of that collection as it looks like it came right out of the movies. I wonder if the people who ended up with my Dickens village are enjoying it and possibly kept adding to it these past 4 1/2 years.

   I love that photo of Ryan with Santa. I still have the photo you sent me that Christmas.

   I put up photos of the snowfall we had this weekend. It was beautiful to look at. We had 4 inches of the white stuff.

   Have a great day my friend. Hugs

   Hi Darylynn, your fireplace looks like ours. I enjoyed the video of Jacob. That is how Eddie was. Jazmyn is more layed back but she is smiling a lot and cooing and even squealing when she is real excited. Stay safe in the rain. Hugs
