Changing the Scene

The tree's up - lights but no ornaments - coming soon!



Uh, Oh, what's that in the corner?


Okay, little turkeys - time to go back into your box. 
See you next year!


It's starting to look a bit Christmas-y 

Some adjustments  needed here!

 Old family favorites - the Three Kings, '70s style

Hard to believe it's December already!
