...12.2...Over the Weekend...

...we were up before dawn again to head back home...

...the sunrise en route was beautiful...

...back home...we unpacked...and along with a bunch of food...this are all the things we brought back from Mom's...a few books Mom was finished with and thought that I'd like...Sissie's vegan Monster cookies and kiwis...some vegan granola...and a beautiful box of tea...

...such a nice variety of teas...I'm sure we'll enjoy them...

...so I enjoyed one of sissie's cookies with a cup of tea...

...and we went out for Mexican...it was delicious...

...when we got home we got the Christmas lights up on the porch...

...icicle lights on both porches...I may also put the red ribbons on the stairs...we'll see...

...I meant to go back outside after dark and get a better photo...

...and we changed the lights on the back porch to blue and white for Advent...

...it's hard to see the blue ones for some reason...not in person...just in the photo...

...the we got the Christmas Tree down from the attic...

...and got it all set up...

...we'll give it a day or so to settle and unfurl and then we'll decorate...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!
