Employee Christmas Party

A huge thanks to Donna for giving us a wonderful Christmas party at her house Friday night! It was so nice to get together with the girls from the Madison office, whom we don't get to see enough, partake of a mouth-watering array of goodies, enjoy beautiful Christmas decorations, be treated to Donna's musical talent on the piano and participate in a Christmas gift exchange!

Our Christmas Open House

Well after some iffy weather forecasts beforehand, Sunday morning came and while the weather was cold and windy, there was no snow or ice after all. We were so glad the weather held up so our friends could travel safely.

We hustled all morning and our first guest arrived at 12:15 pm. It was steady from that time on and there were times when you couldn't move in the front hall and the front parlor where the refreshments were! We had lots of "first timers" which was fun! It was a long day and didn't end till about 9:30 pm when the last of the food was put away. Truly one of our best open houses with over 80 visitors stopping by throughout the day!

Tim's Ready for the Open House and Decorating Cookies with Rosie

Well, our Christmas Open House is tomorrow and we are just about ready! Rosie came over a little after 12 this afternoon and participated in some serious sugar cookie decorating. We had a lot of icing and sprinkles going on and she counted our grand total at 134 cookies! But then Tim ate a few so the number has gone down.

I've done like four loads of laundry, again, today and that's all put away. The weather hasn't been too cooperative so Tim spent over an hour outside this morning shoveling the sidewalks to get the slushy icy mess of of them. Ugh.

Tim fixed my bubble lights that went out on the Goody Tree and finished putting more lead icicles on his retro tree upstairs.

Looks like we are good to go! Come on over y'all.

Jon's Open House

Yesterday we headed up to Madison to go to Jon and Carol's Christmas Open House. Wow! It is always breathtaking and incredible and will put you in the Christmas Season Spirit in less than 60 seconds if you aren't already in it! All the wonderful old toys and vintage Christmas decorations, we were in heaven as usual! Gawking, picture taking and making up my own wish list were on the agenda for the evening. It was nice to visit with old friends and partake of their very own winter wonderland and toyland. We always come away with the same thought year after year...we really do have a lot more space we can still squeeze stuff in to at OUR house!
