Day 15~ Tree Top

I love stars and Angels for tree tops. 

I have had this beauty for about 15 years. 

I use to do a silver and blue tree for a change and she was perfect.

Jeremiah 17:8 English Standard Version (ESV)

8 He is like a tree planted by water,

that sends out its roots by the stream,

and does not fear when heat comes,

for its leaves remain green,

and is not anxious in the year of drought,

for it does not cease to bear fruit.”

Preparation/Favorite

Always preparation in getting ready for any celebration and festivities. 

I prepared stuffed peppers wrapped in bacon for the Christmas party. 

There is lots of fun and preparation in the month of December leading up to the celebration of our dear Savior's birth.
My favorite item I have on display in my house is Santa kneeling before the Manger. 

Christmas is my favorite time. 

Santa representing the magic and joy of the Christmas season. 

The manger that represents the true meaning of Christmas and the best gift ever given. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Isaiah 61:2-3 New International Version (NIV)

2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.

Taylor & Party Life

Taylor Shenanigans

Good grief! 

Found Taylor all tangled up in some of the aftermath of Christmas attire from the Christmas party; I attended last evening. 

Silly elf thought he was going to throw his own Christmas party. 

Not today Taylor, too much work to be done.
