I love the photo of your son with his boys. And, what?! All of your grandsons are taller than you now? Isn't that bittersweet? It is such a delight to see your children and grandchildren grow into fine adults, but they're still our "babies." Always. <br /><br />A tree that is full of family history is the best. I love that you have a cookie-baking day with your grandsons. See, I could go on and on . . . but I have a to-do list awaiting me today! :) <br /><br />Merry, merry Christmas to you and yours!Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-87249282998992665202017-12-18T08:00:32.075-05:002017-12-18T08:00:32.075-05:00Thank you, Madison.

The cub scout is our son as well. He made this in scouts a long time ago. I hope your week is joyous as it leads up to Christmas Day.

Those old ornaments are the best and always have a story behind them. The nativity set is beautiful on your mantel. I know what you mean about taking pictures on a mirrored cabinet - that always hard for me to get the right angle. But you got a good one of the red dishes in your cabinet. Your family did some baking also! Love these pictures of the boys helping out. For some reason, many of the men in my family can cook haha! I love that little silver tree and snowman. Your home looks festive and charming for Christmas, Martha Ellen. Thank you for sharing it with us. I enjoy seeing my blog friend's homes, cause they tell me a little about them. Yours tells me that you love your home and family and are so very thankful.....and they love you too.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-36443998449144623762017-12-16T22:38:42.611-05:002017-12-16T22:38:42.611-05:00Thank you, Pilar!
