ur village:Complete with Paul Bunyan Santa and a very large guardian angel. Behind it (sorry about the flash glare) is a picture that Peter's brother Gary painted of a train at the station - that will hang on our dining room wall, as soon as we get the picture wire attached to the frame. Figure by Spring. :)
And then we set up our tree, and Sandy & Dan came over to help decorate it. Isn't it pretty?
We were able to use all the "special" ornaments from Peter's mom and my collection, and filled in with some plain coloured glass balls and a whack of glittery icicles from my mom. It looks great, I think, and really made a special evening. I feel Christmassy now. Which is good, because tomorrow I have to inventory the pantry and make up my grocery list for baking. Here's the list of "to-bake":
- Gingersnaps
- Egg Tarts
- Butter Tarts
- Mincemeat Tarts
- Suet pudding

Wow, looks like another green Christmas for Ottawa. Very strange.
Your tree looks lovely :-) What do the cats do with it?
Mostly, they avoid it, although I did catch Squeeky "investigating" the presents yesterday. Luckily no ribbons and bows to tempt her, just flat wrapped parcels.
And the forecast for Christmas keeps changing - now they're saying -1 and sunny. We had a dusting of snow this morning but I don't think it's going to stick. The upside is, it makes for safer driving for visiting on Christmas Day!
