Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

this is fun because everyday I get new pictures to add to this post : )

Dave & the girls out in the snow they got over 30" I think in southwest Washington...

Check out the wood ready for the fireplace and don't forget the dog !

These 2 pictures I have just added....as home owners have been passing around snowy pictures I ask them to send in Christmas ones also so Jay & Paulette live in an an area that doesn't usually gets snow or at least much of it anyway so here is their tree and outside look ......

This is a 2008 of the outside home and archway of friends who go out with us to get their tree.

Even the Archway got lights......

This is 2007 Christmas tree haven't seen this years up and decorated yet ..... OK so Kevin the neighbor has a web site and he took some 2008 pictures of his home and Tom & Carla's so here is this years tree all a glow below.....

Different home ( but is next door to the last home) they helped each other put up the outside lights..... this is Kevin & Michele's home.

Stocking from the mantel.....

Kevin loves this and each year I think he does more...these where taken last year. And because Kevin had some new stuff and new pictures on his web I borrowed some of his .....

Love this idea for the Christmas town.....and below are this years outside lights while it snowed how perfect can that be.....

He even decorated the gate at the archway !

Different home again stockings are hung : )

I believe these guys actually cut the tree on their land how cool is that.

This is the first Christmas in our home and it was taken by someone who knew what they where doing it was for an ad but if you look close in the 3 panel door there is a grey trap covering something we where tiling our floors at this time ......

The next year or so we got the boys to help line the house.....wished we could do that again but again this is a number of years ago and we have added onto the house twice !

This one is from 05 you can see the tree lights in the prow....we go out as a group into the woods and cut down our trees ( the first 2 homes are couples that come along ) and get our trees the Sat after Thanksgiving.

This was also in 05.....this is our driveway and the wreath you see in the back ground is our front porch.

Last year I talked Cliff into building this star for me but this is the porch we just remodeled and it is no longer there so Cliff took the Star and it is now on that archway you see in the above pictures.

I took this one last year also.....

and this one .....

And this also was last year ....this year is much the same just a bit smaller tree : )

Hope you enjoyed the tour ! Stay safe and warm and enjoy the season !!!!
