Merry Christmas.....

Here is our beautiful Christmas tree (unfortunately you can't see the lights because of the flash).

Ummmmmm.......my cat Mariah is up to no good again. She must see something really interesting in the tree.........she is very sneaky and is always up to mischief....

And when I called her on it, she turned and looked at me as if to say,"Who me?

Here are some of my very special Christmas decorations that are placed throughout my house....

Can you tell I love penguins???

This is my very special memorial chest I designed for my dad who passed away in 2000. I decorate it with special items during the year, but I espcially love to decorate it at Christmas time. Christmas was my dad's favorite family holiday. And I ALWAYS have a candle lit.

Richard's kids came over for a visit during the holiday. Jake, Mickey, Jim, Paige (Jim's daughter) and Patty (Jim's wife) and Richard. We are so happy to be able to spend time with them.

I wanted in the picture too!

Merry Christmas to our family and friends.......May blessings be bestowed upon all of you !!!
