Merry Christmas!

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!
