Mom painted the bell ornament. The blue and pink ones are from my Grandma H's tree. Each grand kid had one. Mine was the blue and my sister, Sarah's was the pink. Or maybe it was the other way around. Sarah died when she was 4 and after Grandma died I was given both ornaments.
Slightly different arrangement on the Butler's tray table this year. Most of my pictures were taken last year but I really have not changed things much.
New candy this year but same dish.
I cover the coffee table arrangement so it does not get dusty and have reused it for the third time.
Warren gave me the snowman and snowlady a few years ago.
Santas - all hand painted by Vaillancourt.
My two Swedish items. They were given to me by the relatives when they visited years ago. I will never burn the candles as they are so close to the wood. I break the candles from time to time so the box they also gave to me slowly empties.
How it looks today. I still have a couple of gifts to wrap. I wrap most of the gifts sitting on the floor while watching TV. I am hoping the last two orders will be delivered today as the family get together is tomorrow.
Last a view out of one of the eating area windows. They are still mostly covered with snow. I will knock the snow off when I go out to feed the birds.
