It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

I guess it's better late than never ....

Time to kick back, put a big pot of sketti on the stove and perhaps kick my hubby's butt in a game of crib ....lol

A view from our front door

But first a little look back over our year :)

The Best One Yet .....

Of course ,,,,,,we say that every year, don't we ??

Our first Christmas in PEI and we loved it.

We spent all day lounging, playing with our new toys & feasting.

Quiet and relaxing .....and the best of all, we spent it together!

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas .....and like us, spent it with all your most favorite people :)

Christmas dinner ( just the 4 of us :)

Almost time to sit back and relax .....

sip some eggnog and wait for the big fella in the red suit :)

Wow, in 4 sleeps Santa comes ......the kids can hardly stand it ....( a little secret, neither can their Mama :)

Time To Build An Arc .....

This picture is of our camp in New Brunswick. The flood waters came within inches of our floor boards and luckily we did not have any damage. Sad to report that others were not so lucky!
Incredible .....!!

Christmas Past ....

Someone sent this terrific photo to me today.

It's taken outside of the ole' railway station in the village where JP and I grew up.
I love it because it reminds me of Christmas memories from home. As children we used to go and see Santa at this railway station on Christmas Eve. One of my most favorite memories was sitting on my grandfather's shoulders and waiting patiently for Santa to show up and pass out treats.

I think Ben and Aly would love a tour through this old building one of these days ( not to mention a treat from Santa).

I guess I'll to add it to the list of things that we need do.

A very productive weekend, if I do say so myself.

We spent it purging, hanging the outside decorations and wrapping presents.

This year, this Mommy is well ahead of the pack .....

Gosh, even Santa's cookies are all made !

( Thanks to a little help from my favorite Mom in Law ).

Happy Holidays Everyone :)

Merry Christmas From Our Home To Yours !
