Good-bye 2007

The holidays are almost over, and a new year is about to begin. The family had great fun at Christmas time, Santa did find our stockings, and the kids are still playing with all of their new toys.

I received a lovely surprise from my friends Sheila and Michael: look at this lovely ornament that they made and how great it looks in our tree:

I will be a little sad to take down the tree this year, but I am looking forward to a fantastic new year 2008! Happy New Year to all!

The stockings are hung

The stockings are hung, the reindeer treats are scattered in the yard, will HE make a stop tonight?

Must be Santa...

Did you make your request?
