Christmas Happenings

Jill had the only solo in her chorus performance.

Mia had her premier performance. She even had some words to say.

Jill helped me decorate. She decorated this wreath.

Our Christmas Tree - an old one we have used for many years

Nibbles got a Christmas haircut. His ears were so tangled, the groomer cut off all the hair.

Jaime won a wine tasting at her house with her friends.

Christmas season moves along. I am being very creative to do a lot with a little this year. So far, Aaron graduated from Police Academy, Jaime got a promotion, Jaime hosted a wine tasting at her house that she won earlier this year at a charity event. (She even won the tickets to the charity event in the first place.) Still to come, Hannuka dinner at Aaron's parents' house, a traditional cookie party at my friend's house, Christmas Eve at my house, a Christmas visit from Roger's son, Martin, Christmas morning at Jaime's house and Christmas dinner at Martin's mother's house. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

Jaime put up her Christmas tree with a peacock theme for Thanksgiving visitors

Part of the table, Jill, Stephanie, Cory, Aaron, Irma, and Jonah

At the other end of the table were Jaime and Mia with Jill and Stephanie again. I didn't get pictures of me, Karin, Alan, Jay, Papa Jerry or Tyler. Mark and Elliot were in N. Carolina. We had a very happy day.

Cory was teaching Jill at the piano

There is something about a second generation in my little house. I have lived here since Jaime was 5 and Cory was 14. Now the celebrations are moving a few blocks away to Jaime's house. It is taking a while to adjust, but yesterday was wonderful. Everyone brought something so nobody had to do all the work. We were all relaxed and happy. It was truly a happy day.
