It's The Busiest Time Of The Year

Every year about this time I am busy, everyone wants a Christmas card photo, or a painting for Christmas is always nice!  Here are some recent doings.  Don't you just want to go to the Mokulua islands in Hawaii?  I was sad to give that painting to the owner, I was enjoying being in a warm, sunny place!

The Grotto

 We got together with our FUN friends, the Lowder's on Saturday and went to dinner and then to The Grotto.  We hadn't been to The Grotto before, so we thought it might be a nice change from our annual Christmas lights at the Raceway.  

I still don't know how to explain The Grotto, basically it had a lighted trail with the Christmas story...
 a nativity at the bottom of a huge cliff.

 a petting zoo, puppet show (the kids' favorite part), a choral concert in the church (it sounded incredible, even with the glass doors shut...and even better when they'd open them) and we each got some hot chocolate!  The hot chocolate was awesome on the cold, windy night.
Let's not wait until Christmas time to get together again!
