Christmas in Williamsburg, 2011

On Tuesday, December 27, we visited Colonial Williamsburg. It was a rainy and damp day, but we had a great time. It put Williamsburg in a new perspective for me. It gets very dark very early in the winter and candlelight only makes it more romantic. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

December 21, 2011

We secured a tour of the White House. It was so beautiful all decorated in Christmas greenery and 37 trees. I think I like every place better at Christmas time.

What Victoria Wanted for Christmas this year

Victoria wanted Christmas stockings. So I made Christmas stockings. I got my idea from a cute stocking held by one of the Byer's Choice Caroling Dolls. I have a grandpa figure who holds a stocking in his hand, and I took my idea from that. She and Andrew love them. I am glad they are done.

 
 
 
 

A Christmas Tree from Home Depot

This Saturday, following our ward Christmas party in the morning, a baptism following that, and then a little lunch, we went Christmas tree hunting. All the trees at Lowe's were so short! So we went to Home Depot and found our 2011 Christmas tree.
 
 
 
 

Thanksgiving 2011

This year we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with our long-time friends, the Cherry family, and with the Jensen Family who live in our ward. Brother Jensen serves in the bishopric with Mark.
