Christmas Eve dawned with the loveliest of light fogs on the purple tinted hills...
A day to be together as a family -- to relax and play games :)
Andrew occupies himself
Ben does too
Daddy is home for the holidays!
Mommy, making another delicious gourmet meal...
The crisp air beckoned me to go explore, so off I went...
...to take pictures
The thistles turn from purple to gold...
...and the acorn tops linger.
This little leaf caught my eye...
...and so was featured more than once, as I jockeyed for the best composition and lighting for it... ;)
Another darlingly unique leaf
The guys were so nice to help me finish the chair for my bedroom
The intriguing box that held their presents to us. ;)
The chair -- finished!
Mom went out and gathered from Nature's bounty to decorate the house
Before dinner, a present for each person appeared under the tree -- reminding us of our dear departed "Uncle Kenny."
For dinner, candles were lit everywhere...
Christmas music was playing a we gathered in the living room...
...to eat...
...and share stories! :)
Magical :)
The guys had to run off to a volunteer fire dept. call, so Deborah waits for their return.
Only a small sample of the many delicious cookies Deborah baked for us to enjoy this evening!
Each one opens the small gift under the tree...
Watching :)
Stephen enjoys the book he got before going to bed. :)
A precious, wonderful Christmas Eve!!!! What a delight it is to be with my family.
