2014 Christmas decorations at the Landis House

This is my new bowl rack made by Dick Rossel from Holly Hills Primitives I purchased a few weeks ago.

Tree in my dining room.

Favorite Christmas sign.

Drain board gift for Christmas from my friend Nancy.

Thank you Nancy I love it!

Here's my tree for this year.

Love the lights glittering at night.

Merry Christmas to all of you

I want to do this next year,

Not many people know this about me but I use to be quite the ice skater. When I was 11 years old we moved out of town to the country ( not country anymore) on a lake. Man-made lake but still pretty big with lagoons. One of the lagoons was in our back yard and so was the " beach" Remember when stretch pants were popular? That Christmas I got those and a pair of ice skates with pom poms! ( I forgot to mention I went to the roller rink alot so I knew I could ice skate). I was out everyday, some times all day no matter what. We would build a bonfire on the beach, neighbor kids would all come out and skate the day away. We would turn all of our floodlights on in the back yards so we could see, sometimes.

This went on every Winter for years until I left home and got married.  Great wonderful memories I am very thankful for.

I have not put on a pair of ice skates in a long time but this year...I am going for it.  We have a lake near our house. Just like riding a bike right? I know I still have it in me. Norm and I use to roller blade a lot but quit when I tore my ACL.

Don't worry I will start out slow.

Happy Christmas Wishes

One more week till Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve excitement is starting to hit me!!!

This  picture is of my 4 grandkids 2 years ago but I love this picture.

I have to laugh because now they are all taller than me!
( I will get this pose from them this year so you can see how much they have grown)

We are having ham with all the trimmings.

It will be a yummy Christmas feast.

~Merry Christmas~

Have you ever watched this show?

It is becoming one of my favorite shows.

They repurpose items from buildings they have torn down and it's amazing what they can do. What a fun job to have.

Great stories on all the buildings and love to hear them talk, especially ( Mike) the one with the hat on to the left.

Check out this one of a kind bed out of wood and iron fencing!

It would be a fun place to visit some day.

Hmm...... I see a future destination on a motorcycle trip.

Hope your week is going well!

Last nights dinner date at Historic Holly Hotel...Merry Christmas

Christmas carolers had beautiful voices and oh my what a treat!

A wonderful dinner with great friends.

This could be a postcard don't you think?

Sweet Dawn!

Look at the pretty lights behind these pretty ladies.

Not a great picture of us but look at that tree behind us!

All the decorations were very beautiful. 

The Belsnickle I am holding is a birthday present . This is what I wanted for my birthday.... dinner and drinks here with beautiful trees and lights surrounding us for the evening.

  

A must place to visit if your ever in Holly along with Holly Hills Primitives shop.

Don't forget her next primitive vendor show is Saturday,  March 21st. 2015.

~Merry Christmas~

Can't wait until tonight!

Dinner at Historical Holly Hotel with friends and getting the Christmas spirit started.

From the sounds of it we might not have snow for Christmas which is fine with me.  My grass is still green! Last years snowfall was enough for me. Rain in the forecast for  today.

I am off to Florida for a couple of weeks after Christmas to stay with my sister for some rest and relaxation. Getting spoiled having her here all summer and hate it when she leaves for winter. 

It's going to be a busy weekend but every weekend is busy in December isn't it!  Love it!

Enjoy!

Dec 1st. 2014 at my house.

 I used this tree because my cat has his own ideas what it is used for. ( new toys)

The bottom half has zero decorations thanks to him.

Oh well, I will have it looking nice on Christmas Eve.

~Primitive love~

Nancy gave me the paper sheep for my birthday.

Aren't they sweet!!

Decorating is started and I have a few more things to do.

I am temping at the Dental School the rest of the week so not much else will get done.

Dinner time....hot chili tonight.
