8th day of Christmas post

My Son and his family home at Christmas Time.   We were there to see the grands gifts and had a great brooklyn style pizza along with watching a movie with the girls.
Their tree

children made these crosses at church

Adalyn got an American girl doll that was in her likeness.  The hair was made exactly like Adalyn's down to exact color.

Genevieves doll

Baby alive.    I love the way it makes faces when it cries and laughs.

She still loves beau and bella she got last year too.

The twins, beau and bella.

Aw yes, the drum set

Their dad knows how to play them and they want to also

we had a wonderful evening here visiting

Christmas tree pictures

I am starting now to wrap things and to day is the last day to get off for ground so I have to get moving.  First some pictures of den tree and mantle.

I picked some honeysuckle vine to wrap around the tree.  

Have to have a train somewhere on the tree.  

An old fashioned santa my friend gave me a few years back

Rudolph looks on .  He is sort of wobbly as Genevieve was about 2 maybe when I got him and I couldn't keep her off of him.  

Snow hanging around for some more, well as of yesterday that is.  Today the rain may take care of it.  Tis cold though.

three sweet books I read the girls the other night.  Nice pictures and they listened to every word.  I asked Adalyn what she had in her heart for Christmas and she answered "kindness",  Genevieve answered "Jesus".
