Christmas in the Suburbs

If you're not in the Christmas mood,

when you go to Jen & Wade's

you will be.

When you walk up the sidewalk

to the front entrance,

there are lighted bushes and shrubs

with lighted Reindeer tucked all around.

Some are standing at attention

while others are turning and bobbing

their heads.

As you walk onto the front porch you

go through an arched entrance draped

with Pine Garland, decorated with

12" wide Red Ribbon, flocked Poinsettas

and 2 extra large Red Bells hanging in

the middle. A large traditional Wreath

hangs on the front door. On the left is

Mr. & Mrs. Santa sitting on a bench

to greet your arrival.

Inside

the first thing you see is a Large

rotating Tree...
and straight ahead is another
Large rotating Tree.

The oversized Coffee Table is loaded
with lit Garland, Gold Candles, Ribbon
and Deer.

The Mantel is laden with Pine Garland,
Poinsettas,.....

Old World Santas,....

and St. Nicks.

and of course for Madison

a Bronze Ballerina from the Ballet

"The Nutcracker"

Every side table is also adorned

with Christmas.

This year Jen, Wade & Madison

recieved from Steve 3 Beautiful

Large Snow Globes. These belonged

to Donna.

They are only a tiny bit of

Christmas Treasures Her & Steve

have collected over the years.
~~~

If you are not in the

Christmas Spirit by now, the opening

of the Gifts will put you there.

OU seemed to be the trend this year.

Wade got OU Slippers.....

AJ got an OU Cap...

and AJ & ME got an OU

Grill Cover...

Go Sooners!!!!!

Steve also got an OU Cap.

I wonder if he will wear it when rooting

Notre Dame!

Steve learned quickly,

that the Gifts just keep coming

and coming!

My Mom is going to be 86,

but that doesn't keep her from

tearing into the Gifts....

and at 86 everthing is a Treasure!

This is a Special Gift to Mom (Jen)

from Madison.

"Perfect Madison"

Of course this is the Best Gift

Jen, Wade and Madison got

for Christmas.

The Gift that just keeps on

giving and giving!

"ETHEL"

As the hours ticked away,

the Gifts were opened,

the paper and ribbons

put in the trash bags,

the boxes folded up and saved

for next year,

we all looked over the Loot

we had recieved and like

every year we said

"You All did way to much" ......

and then

we thought at one time,

we saw

someone wearing Red,

with a Twinkle in his eye,

peeking in the window

and giving us all a

"Thumbs UP"
