Scenes from a Christmas

 It's Christmas Eve and pretty quiet in the house right now, so I've been going thru some recent pictures.  Tomorrow night family will be here around our new dining room table.  Watch for more pictures then :)

I had so much fun decorating the lanterns this year.  This one went to my friend Cathy.
Oceanna's sweet little face.
Betsy & Kyle opening their gift from Grandma Peggy
Christmas Eve weather was so beautiful, perfect for smoking a bunch of ribs for tomorrow night's dinner.
V's vintage Santa sleigh and reindeer.  The boys always loved these.
Tucker, the new puppy at Rachel's house

The new hawk ornament is in memory of Judson.  And I found the red ornament from 1989 where he wrote his name.
Yesterday out of the corner of my eye, I saw a huge hawk landing in this tree in our neighbor's yard.  Once he was in the tree, it was hard to see him; he was perfectly camouflaged. I'll be watching for him again.
This little tree was made by Larry Green's mom, sometime around 1990 I think.  Mark and Larry were good friends and fishing buddies way back in our early McFarland days.  The little picture is of Judson and Warren, the year they both found letter jackets under the Christmas tree.
 Looking back, last year's Christmas was so hard.  We are thankful for moments of joy this year.
 Speaking of moments of joy,   new pictures 
of our little Oceanna, are instant hits of bliss.  She's one week old today.
