CHALET CHRISTMAS 2017

greetings all! i can't believe it's Wednesday already! we're headed off to see The Last Jedi! - can you all hear the screams of my infectious laughter ?1? we are HUGE Star War fans! Liam has watched all the films and as you can image has tons of Star Wars paraphernalia.

we had a ton of fun! drank and ate and ate some more... exchanged wonderful gifts. Liam had a ball with his cousins. here's my sister and i in fits of laughter... out of thirteen pics i love this one best! it sums us up - to a tee.

five bottles in 28hrs... not too shabby!

we three in our matching Star Wars pj's had a stellar morning. my boys blessed with delightful gifts. Liam gave me the most gorgeous pine tree snowglobe - and since snowy is theme around here - it will be enjoyed year round. fred popped in to sit on some wrapping paper and get some cat treats!

Liam thought it was just really so nice of Santa to put his scooter together that Aunt Reen and Uncle Bobby gave him! HA!

my hubby starts the fire-pit nice and early. he gathers chestnuts, popcorn, juice-boxes and beers in anticipation of our neighbors making their way over.

 

 

 

 

while technically not our property - that's our hill. you can spy my son down there in the red.

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.
