1515 Christmas in Review

I always look so forward to my week in December at 1515.

After it is over I have time to slow down.

But how I hate for it to be over, I get to spend time with my

family, have a great holiday party with family and friends,

a pj party with my cousins and most of all

just to spend time in my hometown and

relax a little.

I started decorating in November so when I got there, I was not

overwhelmed for a to do list.

The first day cousin Fred and I went out to lunch, for a drive in the

country and to get a Christmas tree.

I got the tree done the first night. See the blocks and nut bowl?

The blocks were my Grandmother's and the nut bowl appeared

under the tree in all my Grandparents Christmas tree pictures.

It was beautiful at night.....I loved sitting in the dark and looking at it.

Cousin Mary arrived the next day

We had lunch in my hometown with Robin from Decorating Tennis Girl

Robin and I have know each other our entire lives and the cousin tradition

of getting together started when we use to stay at the cottage at Robin's

B&B.

We had wrapping and cooking to do over the next 2 days

I hope you remember the story of Frank and Felicity, they came

south to spend the winter at 1515

On Saturday, friends and family gathered together to

celebrate the season.

Plenty of good food

and ...laughter

The twins just made in back in time from visiting the

Christmas markets in Europe.

The next day was Pajama day! and we had presents to unwrap!

a good time was had by all!

all the decorations will be up until I return......
