Middle Hawthorne showed up yesterday
with Beau.
Beau loves to be held and snuggled.

He's only 10 months old
and weighs over 100 pounds.

Here's little Bo-Bo
with a boo-boo
on top of his head,
sound asleep on the couch.

I packed a bunch of goodies today
for delivery tomorrow.
I had quite the
assembly line going on.
From the kitchen ...

to one bench ...

and to the other bench.

My tablescape
with roses from the garden
and my gift baskets on the benches.

I have 24 boxes here with an
assortment of 40 cookies, candies, and confections.
That's 24 in addition to the
the 3 I've already mailed out,
and the 4 in the downstairs freezer,
waiting for special people
from out of town.
(Plus I have cookies leftover.)

Here's the Norfolk Island Pine
I bought at Harris Teeter a few weeks ago
for $19.95.
I decorated it with white and green lights,
silver and green balls,
and silver bows.

And here's the 9-foot tall tree
in my octagon room.

It's decorated with multicolored lights,
white, silver, and gold snowflakes,
and silver and gold balls.

And here's my tablescape
with Rosie's and Mr. Hawthorne's
reflections in the window.
Merry Christmas, everybody!
Very pretty. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
