December....

Madeline and I were witness to a Friday night at the York farm.....pretty happy crew.


We only got to witness Cole at what appears to be an Ugly Christmas sweater party via photo....


Sue and I headed out on a Cold December night for our annual Finley Street progressive party


It was, as always, great fun.


A chilly view of the empty spot where my new garage is supposed to be....they say this week..???


Winter has officially arrived on my patio...


And on my urns...


And outside my dining room window...which was the smartest way to welcome some snow...through the window. Because baby, it was SOOOO cold outside.


Cole and Jon helped the Statler family welcome in the holiday season....imagine that...those two celebrating anything!!


Official end of harvest? Yes, when favorite son in law shaves off his beard. Welcome back dimples!!

December

My first dinner party..celebrating the Deal family visiting


Watching football...smiling to be nice...he's always nice





We had a Stars Hollow day downtown... Shopping our locally owned small businesses and we really shopped!!!


Even baby Tal enjoyed the day


They went shooting. Truth. They shot guns. At old pumpkins. They even dressed the part.


Meanwhile I stayed home and made my annual holiday roping.


And stuffed my urns with fresh greenery...and I did it all myself. Yes, patting myself on the back.


Love the finished product. But my hands..oh my poor bloody hands. No kidding, they are a mess...pine needles and wire and my hands do not get along.


Finley is much smarter....well ok, her mama is.. She made garland with ribbon and ornaments.


And oh how it sparkles, she's a worker,


No, this is not Santa's bedroom. It is my cheery guest room. But since Cole was born an hour after Christmas, it will be his room for the Holidays. Ho Ho Ho,


And the biggest, brightest news...smart Annie Deal was accepted at her first choice for college, early acceptance. One and done! Rhodes College in Memphis, here she comes! Yay sweet Annie. And me, more visits to the Jungle Room!
