Catching up 2013 - December - Making Christmas

Below are some pix of the various holiday decorations around the house and the tree. These are taken out of sequence, meaning some in early December and then some after Christmas. The tree has ornaments from Pop and Gram (my grandparents), Mom and Dad (Opa and Oma), Joe and Diana (Mimi and Papa) and Diane. Additionally, every year I give Joe and the boys an ornament. This year Kevin picked his (a large, round red ornament with silver glitter that wraps around it), Jason's (a red, blue and yellow shiny airplane) and Joe (a large glass ornament that has white glitter and looks like a starlight mint candy).

Enjoy!
