Quick Decorating Idea

December 9, 2010 by Aliesha

I’m still preparing for our family coming today, and I’ve been busy the last couple of days making Whole Wheat Bread, Artisan Bread, Minestrone Soup, Italian Tossed Salad, Peppermint Biscotti, and a few other things! 

But I wanted to share a quick decorating idea for you:
Toss some holly branches into your chandelier for instant seasonal flair!

You can use holly berries for your centerpiece too.

As a side note, if any of you are local, you are welcome to come and cut some holly berries!  Our bushes have been overabundant this year!

Spontaneous Christmas Fun!

December 3, 2010 by Aliesha

Last night Tad, Vera, and I went to a local coffee shop to hear a live jazz band playing Christmas music!  We had a great time together as a family.  Here’s a picture of me and Vera before we left the house.

(Yes, our tree is still undecorated in the background.  We’re working on it!)
