End of year pictures and Happy Blessings for a wonderful New Year!

A few end of year photos.  Cannot believe we will be in the year 2011.    The next photo is inside the Omni hotel taken as we were heading toward the Mezzanine to look out over the yard and some of the city.  The lights bounce off of the windows.

 the deer on the lawn seem to be jumping into the widow

Beautiful wreath in Mezzanine and Steve having a seat alongside.

 The lights on the shrubbery look like candy through the snow

 Ryan playing in the leaves

 Tyler I can barely see sitting in the leaves

 Lights dancing off of the walls from fruit arrangement

 A paper star I made

I placed my oak leaves on the tree also that I spray painted gold

You can see my reflection in the ornament on the tree of me taking a shot

Downtown Richmond - James Center

Christmas Eve , Steve and I drove to downtown Richmond to see the decorations at the James Center.  We had dinner inside the Omni.  Spaghetti for me and Clams and linguine for Steve.   I need a set of the dishes that our dinner was served in.  I especially love the cup and saucer.

Beautiful scenery to see while eating our meal

Gorgeous trees outside

  I cropped this so you could see it closer.   The reflection in the glass

 I still have not found these type of lampshades yet,  still looking though

Back home before the snow hits

While in Tennessee

Steve wanted to see the town of Cadiz Kentucky, on what was the coldest day for us in the teens.  It was about a 25 minute drive from her home in Tn..     Wow it was cold. 
 Everything was decorated so pretty.  Some of the decorations on the square where Santa visited was blown around from the snow storm that came through.   Still it was a beautiful day and we had a great lunch at Hot Diggity Dog.   Chili was had by Seth and we had sandwiches and onion rings-sooo good .  We want to visit in the fall of the year for some good barbecue,  I understand there are vendors out then with some great food.

 Annette missed Santa,  but got a picture with the sleigh.  nice painted scene in the background

 Taking a look in town in the Antique stores and lil shops.  Steve leads the way

 Mighty creative

Love the decorated Pigs in town

 Annette and Seth

 You knew there had to be a Pig tree.  If you click on it ,  you can see it better

 Steve really liked the villiage scene in the museum
