Well, I’ve finally got the Christmas decorations up….a little later than normal this year. We always had a tradition to put the tree up on December 1, but that sort of fell apart when DS was born……16 years ago!!! We do still TRY, but………!!!!!!!! Here we go for a quick, whirlwind visit around my place…..
I made this little guy quite a few years back and he never fails to lose his way at the tv!!!!
