but not by the chimney. Since we have a woodstove instead of a fireplace I decided to use the bench by the back door to hang our stockings. There will be 21 of us here for our annual family Christmas weekend.We do a weekend Christmas early so the girls can be home with their children for Christmas and not have to travel. I have started filling the stockings but not finished yet.Melody was in charge of the schedule this year. The battle of the boxer shorts has a few protests but those that do compete I will post photos of each family in their sleeping boxers and let you vote on the best boxer family. Melody has a busy schedule for us to follow but we love having things planned out.

I think I'm a long lost distant cousin. Can I still come? Oh Peggy, you make things so special for everyone. I won't tell, but I think I just saw a feather fall from you (tucked angel wings perhaps?). You are just the best. xo
