The glow

Every morning, I wake to see the glow of our Christmas tree. 

Our girls were asking what people did before electricity.  I can only imagine if we had candles, it would be pretty, but much more difficult to light each candle.

 Getting ready for a family picture...for our Christmas card.

We decided we wanted Lusy (our dog, who looks like a blur here) and Velvet (our black kitty) in the picture, too.  Sorry, didn't get the chickens in on it this year....maybe next year!
