Rainy Saturday evening

More of my decorations.   Will be taking down on Monday.  I always wait till after the 12th day of Christmas.  The candle on the wreath is lit, just not showing well with the light.

Little of the rain coming down

Omni Hotel Richmond Va.

On December 30th, we finally got downtown to the James Center in Richmond.   Girls always love to see the lights of downtown.
Not as many this year as there is renovation going on inside and outside.  Hope that tenants move in the empty spaces next year and have the he grand illumination.  The inside of the Omni was not as decorated either.

Nice evening and still somewhat warm for this time of year.

This briefcase and hat reminds me of my Grandfather's. He used to have one just like it and he always wore a hat.  A dapper gentleman he was and I still  remember  him always in that way.

I think the girls thought at first the device was a cell phone, not this time period, it is a calculator.

Always enjoy seeing how the fireplace in the Omni will be decorated.  Nice marble with carved musical instruments.

Adalyn on the right says she wants to learn to play the violin.  Genevieve wants the harp.

Tree in the lobby of the Omni

This beautiful Chandelier is hanging from the ceiling near the tree.

Ginger bread house has seen it's better days.

No matter if there are decorations or not.  The children along with Opa have to take the  glass elevator to the Mezzanine and walk around.   I understand the elevators will be updated also.  I hope they keep the glass in them.
