HOLIDAY PARTIES, TAMALES AND WRAPPING IT UP!

The Divine Miss M and family

attended a holiday party last weekend.

It was a very cold and rainy evening,

but inside, the holiday festivities were alive and well

with a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus!

She always outdoes herself with festive wrapping paper!

Who wouldn't want to receive these gifts?

Hmmmm...

even leftovers are looking and smelling good

to Miss Piper!

Jenn's sweet parents are

teaching Greg the art of

"Tamale making!"

I sure hope they bring me some....

this is their holiday tradition....

marvelous!

They also spent an afternoon
shopping the Antique stores!
That can be such a fun way to
shop for special treasures!

Do you have your new 2017 calender yet?
I adore Susan Branch calenders...

they can just make you SO HAPPY!!!!!

I believe the dining room

is ready to host our family!

I am loving this new little sugar village...

just lovely during the evening hours

with golden light glowing from inside

these festive little houses!

These will be a lovely collectible

to pass down to one of the children!

The Christmas Crackers arrived...

always a fun tradition

that everyone looks forward to!

I changed up the farmhouse table

and

have a few sale items coming that should

make this too cute!

Balsam, fir and evergreen

are my favorite scents of the season...

how about yours?

Everyone must be busy with

plans for Christmas Day....

we are blessed and thankful

for family and friends....

Good Health brings happiness!
