It Keeps Coming Back To Christmas...

 All of my pictures...all of my memories of late, still keep taking me back to the season that is

Christmas.

The day was wonderful, 

but I have so many awesome memories from December still floating around my head. 

We kept up with our Advent Calendars...

the blue one had a variety of candy, the hubs loved it and I will get it for him again next year.

The red and white one was mine, Walkers Shortbread Cookies.

It was fun, 

I liked the design and the pictures but I would not get it again.

I love shortbread cookies but these were terrible...very dry, with no flavor.

Next year, I will pick something else.

On December 8th I spotted this red truck all decked out for Christmas.

It is a different truck than the one I featured here.

We saw this car several times and I was able to speak with the driver while we were both getting gas.

Such a nice, young, happy guy...he had on his pj's and a santa hat.
He waited so I could take this picture.

Santa came to the neighborhood on his fire truck to visit the kiddos.

He always visited us on Christmas Eve when my boys were little and seeing the truck

brought back some really happy memories.

I purchased three of these "Merry Builders Blocks", one for each of us to keep us busy 

Christmas Eve Morning.

I had the "Snowman" and even with Mike's help, I was not able to put this together.

The hubs had an "Elf" and is always the prankster...

Mike had "Santa", he finished first.

Here is "Santa" and the "Elf" 

 humor me for a minute as I provide a little background about these.

They looked like legos, the pieces were so small you really did need a magnifying glass to see them,

the box said they were easy to build...it took the boys close to 3 hours each for them to finish theirs. 

You be the judge.

Looking up and looking out the front door...

I saw this rainbow on December 19th...

and then the sky turned to this on the same day.

We saw this beautiful sunset on Christmas Day...

and this one on the 29th!

I have not been to the alpaca farm, Arrow Acres Farm, the farm I usually visit to see the alpaca.

I have however been able to see them on YouTube.

Liz and Leanne have a vlog...@cocktailhouratthecoop5454.

They talk about their lives, knitting, crocheting, family and life on the farm.

This is the closest I got to New York City this Christmas, and I thought this picture was beautiful.
