Even here in SOUTH TEXAS we can’t wear a bathing suit right now!

I love the lemon/lime ornaments – very, very cool!

Wearing a swimsuit in December just doesn’t seem right.

I love the outdoor tree photo! Also, the best ornaments are the ones that the kids make. I love them. That popsicle stick one is great!

My first year in CA I promptly forgot all the December birthdays because it was so warm. And I went swimming in the ocean on December 24th, just so I could say that I did.
I’m celebrating advent by decorating my house this year, it seems. We pulled the tree in from the patio last night and will most likely decorate it tonight or tomorrow… Our family tradition when I was little was to get the tree early, then keep it on the patio (in the cold) until the 23rd, decorate it and sometimes even hide it from the kids until the 24th.
The build-up to Christmas Eve was beautiful. Just thinking about it makes me miss my grandpa.

I love these photos! Though the swimsuit ones threw me off :-)

I will be sending you some snow. Tonight? It took me 1 1/2 hours to drive 5 miles.

Let’s see, it was -26C with the windchill yesterday, so after we decorated the tree, we did not go out in our swimsuits to cool off, but heated up some warm dinner and snuggled under blankets :). Today was even colder, but it was a one day spell and will be much warmer for the rest of the week. It is supposed to snow (a lot) tonight, so you are welcome to come for a visit!

Love those two pics of the lights on the lemon tree- they are really well done! (So is the new banner! Cute!)

I’m missing the snow myself, and I live in Colorado. What is wrong with this picture? I do think we may get some today though… I hope.

Stare into the lights on the lemon tree and the seating area below looks like it’s covered in snow. It fooled me for a moment in any case!
