December

                                      December is a nice month with all the festivities going on.
                                I enjoy all the different concerts and programs in church and school.
                                                                       

This is a table runner for Ria. 

In reality it looked nicer then on the picture I find.

December I started making puzzles already. 

It was because of some winter weather I think that I started early.

So this was our Christmas tree for the year. Every year we said that it would be the last year for the tree to be up. 

Well now this has been the last year. You can see that this tree looked tired.

The one who set it up this year did a great job with it to make it presentable.

To my regret we never took a picture with the grand kids in front of it.

That was such a tradition to have a picture with the grand kids who were around for that year,

We still had a great evening with the ones who were here.

First, we  had dinner and then did the gifts by just sitting this time around the dinner table.

After that we played the game 'Cover your Assets'

A fun game.

Then there was this big ice-storm 

Very pretty but it did a lot of damage.

This is the tree in front of our house before 

and below here after the storm.

The ice was so thick it lasted several days before it fell of the branches.
