Christmas on Coltrane Mill Rd.

It took us a week, but we do have some decorations up on
the outside of the house, and on the inside. I couldn't have
done it without some help. Thank you Adam and Kit for
hanging the icicle lights and for getting the tree down from
the attic. Thank you Kit for helping me decorate the front
railing with the lighted garland and our tree inside. I know
that I got help from Kit this year because he probably felt
sorry for me! But mainly, I know that he wants the lights
on display for Turner, Addi and Maddox!


I gave up on window wreathes after the first year living
in this house. They would be beautiful, but they are so
much trouble!!!

We should do more on the outside, but this will have to do!

Jenny, this is for you! You haven't seen our new dining
room chairs!!! This year, you get to sit in them and eat!

Addi and Maddox, Gran and Grandad have a Christmas
tree too! Yours is beautiful. I hope that you will like ours.
It looks rather bare underneath without any presents. Gran
must get some presents wrapped and under the tree. I have
presents bought and they are all over the bed in Jenny's
room upstairs! Another task to do once I get back from
Little Rock at the end of this upcoming week. They will
be wrapped by the time Christmas gets here!

And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in
hopes that St. Nicholas would soon be there! We have 11
members in our immediate family right now, counting
Baby Boy Depp. He already has a stocking hanging at
Gran and Grandad's house! Turner has a stocking hung too
as we celebrate his first Christmas!!!! Gran and Grandad's
stockings aren't hung yet. I need more holders for them...
and then I'll have to find some room on the mantle too.
I did get most of my Santa collection on the mantle.
All of you need to know that Micala shared with me that
she was so jealous. Chloe has pictures on this blog. Even
Kiyah has pictures on this blog. She had a pic at the
beginning when I started this, but nothing recently. So
here are two pics of Jenny's wild, severely spoiled cat!

She's so pretty, but you never know if she is going to be
sweet or sour!
