Cant stop Decorating * Jessica's Fruit Conserve

Got the Holiday spirit for sure today.

I put out my Nativity scene early this morning.

 I haven't had it out for a few years I'm always switching every year.

You cant see here but its really beautiful in person.

This set is very special to me our brother in law Danny made all of the family's back in the 60s one.

We treasure all the work he put into it all made of tiny twigs he cut and nailed it together. 

 I bought the figurines and hand painted them to go with the manger back some time in the 60s so to me this is a very special Nativity set. 

We are having our first snow for the season. I took a couple of photos last night Its been snowing all day today but not accumulating all that much just lightly covering the ground but it does help to get you into the mood.

Sally and Abbie laying in the window a favorite spot watching the snow come down

Or are they watching for the birds flying around..

Theirs a lot more now this was taken early in the morning.

 Today I also went out with Cindy for lunch and finished up the shopping

We also did some computer shopping that's really Cool..
