Can It Be?

 That Christmas is over! but there is a special

4th birthday coming up....

There were more goodies eaten than I care to remember...

and Santa sightings all over the place...

 Christmas crackers that held crowns and kazoos...

And lots and lots of Christmas presents..

(This was taken from a calender we received!)

Yesterday was the last of the Christmas parties but there is

one amazing little girl turning 4 very very soon!

It has been a laid back day of football and rug hooking.

Our weather has been very mild but I see the cold weather coming in from Canada. Hey, you Canadians keep your cold weather! (and you know who you are:)

The Christmas decorations will stay up until

after the New Year. 

I wish all of my sweet blog friends a happy and healthy new year.

Filled with lots of belly laughs and great surprises.

The Sunday Before Christmas...

On the shortest day of the year...

Our tree was all decorated in baubles from the past..

And centerpieces pretty with sparkly snow....

Candle light flickering.....

Waiting for the big night..

From my house to yours....

May your Christmas be filled with friends and family.

Laughter and happy tears, for it all passes so quickly and on to the new year.

Up In The Mountains

Saturday bright and early we made the hour trip over the mountains to our Daughters...

The sun was shining for the first time in a very long time.

This mountain is blinding with the white snow and the sun shining so bright on it.

And this is the rocky top of Chocorua Mt. coming out of the 

clouds.

This is from the window of the Santa train..

Where we saw Santa!

And husband surprised me with Boston Pop's tickets

that was completely amazing.

And there were cookies baked too.

My house looks like someone took it off the foundation shook it and put it back. So I need to get to what Miss B is doing decorating.

This little tree is in her room and she is completely in love with it.

I hope you are taking the time to enjoy the sights and sounds of the season it only comes once a year.

A Weekend At The Beach

With amazing friends who have a beach house.

We headed to the beach for a few days. This is Nubble Light House all decked out for Christmas.(York Maine) You can see the tree in the window so cute.

The beach had a quiet beauty...

But very very cold and windy...

Then we were off to Kennebunk Maine...

To the Christmas prelude...

With lots and lots great decorations and Santa keeping watch..

This was at the Kennebunk inn, they were roasting chestnuts

and had outside fireplaces and fleece blankets to wrap in so

lovely and cozy...

And a tree lighting! You can see the lobster buoys decorating the branches. Sooo very Maine.

We are back in N.H. but wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas from Maine. We are in for wicked weather this week so everyone stay safe.
