So my friends and family can be up on life here in GR

Tres Christmas'

Ornaments and Evergreens with packages as yet unseen all wrapped in paper colored bright, reflecting candles in the night with carolers and mistletoe and stockings all hung in a row on fireplaces glowing red with children safely sent to bed! - TSO

This year we had Christmas with the Verwys family, Christmas in Chicago and Christmas at home - all in 2 days! What a fantastic whirlwind of excitement! Enjoy the photos -

We drove to Chicago Christmas afternoon and picked Marvin and Lindsay up at the airport, then headed to Michigan Ave to the Conrad Hilton Hotel - absolutely stunning!

The Grand Foyer

A life size gingerbread house, real gingerbread and candy - it smelled so good!

Taxi Cab!

Garretts! A Chicago must-have!

We drove home in the afternoon of the 26th and had Christmas at home in the evening.

Merry Christmas from Puff! :)

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season, I was reminded again and again how absolutely blessed I am with family, friends and a Savior who came as an infant for me.
Tomorrow, or really today, we're off to Washington DC to meet Ellen and round out the season with more Christmas!
