It’s almost here isn’t it? All the shopping is finished, gifts wrapped and groceries are bought. Just waiting now!
Tomorrow our granddaughter and baby Zayne will be here for a little while to open gifts because they have another place to go on Christmas…so they won’t be a part of our day Wednesday.
Alex has a friend who is a photographer and she takes tons of pictures of Zayne…this one is my most favorite of all so far.
And today I saw on FB this one….Alex took it – he sat up all by himself today…yaaaa!
Such a happy baby.
Well I have no more Christmas decorating to show you and I am really surprised at myself because I am ready for it all to be taken down and put away. This was a strange year for me trying to get in to it. I finally did today and I hope it carries me through Wednesday when everyone is here.
I did received some very nice gifts last week.
My friend Trena from PA was so thoughtful and sent me a box of Winterberries and some adorable Gingers.
Thanks Trena for being such a sweet friend.
I didn’t get a picture of the berries – sorry. I added the Gingers to my noodle board, aren’t they cute?
I also received a RAK gift from Danice of Homespun Hanna’s blog:

She sent a can that has a printed wrapper on it with my blog logo on it!
And a great smelling candle and some wonderful Potpourri.
Thanks Danice!
And from my PA friend Linda I received a beautiful Bennington batter bowl, pancake mix and Maple syrup – all from Vermont.
Thank you Linda…we already sampled it all!
I have nothing to do tonight so I’m going to sit here with my computer and visit all my blog friend who I have missed so much.
That’s about all I have for you until after Christmas.
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with your families.
For those traveling – be safe.
But above all – remember the reason we celebrate Christmas.
