Christmas at the Craig's and a Family Tradition

What a busy day I had, whew!  Got up early to shop for gifts and necessities.  Then stopped at the Library to drop off things.  Upon returning home I made 4 gift card holders which I didn't photograph........in a hurry.  Got Sarah to wrap presents then off to Craig Christmas.  We pick up Tim's parents and drove to my nephew's condo.  It's quite large and nice.  This is his first home away from mom and dad.  We had snow that stuck...ugh!  I'm glad we picked up Tim's parents, otherwise they would have cancelled and not been at our Christmas.  We always take a family photo so it will be a day or so until my SIL gets them to us.
   We have had a tradition since we got married 18 years ago to stop at Bedford Square and walk through the lighted area and take pictures.  Tonight since we were near we stopped.  Here are some fun pictures.  I'm going to have to see if I can find some pictures of past years.  You can see that I'm the shortest in the family now huh? LOL  This is the walkway into the square.
I love, love, love lights so this makes me feel like a little kid again!
So I think they should have given me a box to stand on ya know? LOL  I never realized how tall my kids are compared to me.  Pictures don't lie do they?
Tim and kids, I should have been a bit closer.
It was snowing with several inches on the ground, and poor baby Jesus was covered in snow.  This is a close up.  We couldn't get close enough to wipe off his face.
I have two more days of work then I'll be on Christmas Vacation. Then I can work on Christmas cards, and finish shopping and wrapping things. How are you doing on your shopping and wrapping. Thank you to many of you who have sent cards. I just got another pretty one today from Hope. Thank you so much Hope.
I got to listen to Michael W. Smith's new CD called, Glory.  It is instrumental and I found I really liked it.  Here is one of my favorite songs.  I like the lightness and fun that the music seems to have.


Have a wonderful evening.  Tomorrow night we'll be going to a concert and the admission is canned or boxed food.  We'll be collecting the food and putting it in boxes to go to the City Mission. This should be a cool experience.  I'll let you know.
I appreciate your visit.  Soon I'll have more cards here and maybe even a new video or two.
Blessings,
