Christmas!

Here is our real live Christmas tree :) We've definitely upgraded from last year's Christmas potted plant :) The branches are a little droopier than at home...since it's summer here and the tree doesn't have a chance to really harden off at all... so it was a bit difficult to hang the ornaments..BUT, here she is, and ain't she a beaut!! (PS. I had to work all last week so Manuel and our friend Neil went to go pick up the tree - and he picked it out all by himself! not too bad I say!)

Hanging in the doorway is Grandma Bebout's partridge in a pear tree decoration that I have always really loved and this year it means all the more! Nanny Bebout passed away to go be with Pappy Bebout this past week, and if there is one thing that will always remind me of her, it's Christmas time! I loved her sugar cookies, her Christmas decorations and how she always called her couch "the davenport".

Merry Christmas everyone!!
