Christmas this year...

 Christmas was a bit different this year.  We didn't seem to do as many of the things I love to do, but I still got in enough to get into the festive spirit!

Decorated of course.  Mom came over and helped out a bit and we got to add a bit to our very small Christmas Collection.

I do love Xmas Trees

My good friend Renee and I went and saw our friend Rick in "Inspecting Carol" over at Newport Theatre Arts Center.

Christmas Eve Pat and I did our annual tradition and "Hiked".  Since he's still busted we took a nature walk but did get out.  The evening was hosted by Shane and Danelle. Dad and Lori came over and it was just lovely.

Hell yes I wore festive socks

It always goes by so fast and there's that sigh after it's done.  Decorations come down.  Presents put a way.  Drinking too much and overdosing on cookies.  But made another year of wonderful memories!
