First the tree...
We went to my middle son's house for Christmas lunch having been to visit hubby's sisters on the way!
My GD had the most beautiful jacket..
Home again and I realised that I needed some decorated envelopes for putting vouchers in…
…behind the mug you can see my tidy boxes - everything that lies around gets thrown in them to sort out ….some time!!!
Of course - the main reason for being here today is to join Bleubeard and Elizabeth for T Stands for Tuesday.
Yesterday my eldest son hosted our annual family get together - we save our gift giving until then.
On the way the sunset was beautiful.
I took photos of my sons…
Next is number two son …
…the same look matched by Number three son!!!
We played a silly game which involved putting mouth stretchers in and saying well known phrases to everyone else ….fortunately not enough for everyone!!!!
A LOT of laughing went on!!!
After the game I had a wander around my sons lovely home - he collects random objects (just like his mother!)and makes lovely things with them…
One of their latest interests is Steampunk and he made this holster from all sorts of different things.
Today has been a quieter day for us! A little trip out to collect an item that was on order and a stop for coffee! Did we go to the sales? No Thank You!
Thanks for looking, Chris
A fun post and lovely photos of the family, looks like a great time was had by all. Enjoy the last few days of the year, and happy t day, hugs Valerie

ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe you passed up a sale. I'm in shock.
Your tree is incredible. Such pretty neutral colors, too. Of course, I liked the tree (and the art) behind your GD (middle son's daughter).
Wow, wow, wow. That mug is fabulous. A very figgy pudding and happy Christmas feel to it. I would have cut those boxes up for art projects if it had been me, though (grin).
I enjoyed seeing all three of your sons together, but missed seeing T. Please tell him hello for me and happy holidays.
Loved the photos of the laughter you shared, and really enjoyed the objects your son collected and turned into glorious art.
I was actually on my way to leave you a message when I saw you had posted. I took lots of photos of my deli paper and plan to send them to you, but shock of all shocks! It's the same thickness. Yep, got out my calipers and show (photos) they are the same thickness. I may not have the chance to send them today, though, because Scott is supposed to come by this afternoon with my new computer. At least that's the plan. If that happens, it will be awhile before I get photos off my camera with my HOPEFULLY transferred software onto my new hard drive.
Thanks for sharing your Christmas and your lovely Christmas cup with us for T this Tuesday.
OMGosh. What happened? I can't believe how much room I apparently added to the bottom of my post without realizing it. MY sincere apology.
ReplyDeletegreat post, sounds and looks an amazing Christmas.. talent obviously runs in your family! I haven't been to the sales either (yet!)
ReplyDeleteIts a super post Chris, your sons look very like each other a remarkable family resemblance. The photos were fantastic as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year wishes for when we reach the 31st.
Happy T Day

wonderful decoration of the tree, love that top-doll:) great you had awesome days with the Family, so now let´s hope for a lucky and healthy 2017! i´m sure you will bring us to many interesting places again!
ReplyDeletePhew! Couldn't find where to comment, thought I was suffering from Prosecco Blues (only had 2 glasses over all Christmas) but then found the box later down the page.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a super Christmas to me. How lovely to have three sons and spend time with them like that. Love the fact that your son has inherited your craftiness - and all of them your looks! |They do all take after mum!
Have a lovely New Year too - can't wait to hear about it.
Hugs, Neet xx
It is always fun to have a peek into your world dear Chris.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your handsome sons and surroundings.
Christmas came and went so quickly as the days seem to do.
Glad yours was merry and fun.
Here's to a great new year full of adventures and fun.
I have missed connecting with you while our PC was unplugged.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lovely Christmas photos Chris - looks like a fun time had by all.
ReplyDeleteThe Ruebenesque comment about your tree fairy made me smile - ahh poor fairy, she looks adorable.
Especially loved the steampunk pieces and the cool lights your son made.
Enjoy the rest of the week and wishing you a wonderful 2017

Great to get to join in with some of your festivities - how creative your son's work is... as you say, like his mum! We do the full 12 days of Christmas round our way, so I'd be fine with you sharing that mug for at least another six days...
