I liked it because it reminds me of our relationship. I am this momma bird and I keep a close eye on her, and fight off the mean Blue Jays.

Nativity scenes are my favorite decoration for Christmas. Your daughter looks so pretty in her dress
How BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing your decorations. I can tell that your home is warm, inviting, friendly, cozy, filled with love & laughter. Have a wonderful sunny, warm weekend before winter arrives in OK once more.
Blessed be...
Oh, I lost track of all the things I wanted to comment on. I love the photo of Juliette's pageant. It's gorgeous the way she stands out and everything else is blurred - and the panorama is cool.
Love the Pier One Nativity. That is so adorable!
All of your ornaments are lovely - especially, of course, the ones that were handmade. Was that a marshmallow on the top of one?
Your porch and home look so welcoming! May I come in for a cup of hot chocolate and a candy cane?

@Poetikat - C'mon in!!!
@ Kristen and Poetikat - That was one of my favorite pics of the evening. I didn't know if anyone would connect with it or not, but I just loved it even though you can't see her sweet little face and pretty wavy hair. =)
@Oklahoma Farmgirl - I'm going to soak in the 60 degree weather as long as possible. I've noticed people across the Blogosphere are always suprised to learn how cold and wretched the weather can be in an Oklahoma winter. In addition to all the love and laughter there is the occassional, "GET YOUR BUTT IN HERE!" Hahahahaha! Thank you so much!
I have that Charlie Brown Christmas book! I got it when it in a book club my parents were in when I was young. I get it out every year. I love all the pictures and sweet memories!
I am loving the three wee birdies Jen - just delightful ....
also your darling man buying bells - I don't ever see mic doing that - hugs le xoxoxo
Hi, Jen! Thanks for joining my blog party and inviting us into your home. Enjoyed seeing your decorations and ornaments. Really liked the idea of hanging the silver balls from the "Family" sign for each member of your family.
Merry Christmas!!
