Christmas 2016

For Christmas this year, I thought we would have a real tree.  Putting away the fake tree after Christmas was not something I wanted to do.  I ordered a tree online that would be delivered to my front door as I had done in the past.  Unfortunately, I ordered one that was too small.  So I gave it to the neighbors, and on Saturday, December 3, Tammy, Lizzy, Stas, and I decorated the fake tree.  We also decorated the house for the season.

On Christmas Eve, we had Stas's mom and brother over for dinner.

My parents, AJ and Vania, and Lizzy and Stas spent the New Year's weekend at our house.  Everyone arrived Friday evening.  On New Year's Eve, we went to the 3 antique stores in Palmer, MA and had dinner at the Steamin Tender.  I did not make it to midnight though I hear AJ, Vania, Lizzy, Stas, and my dad did.  Sunday we went to church and then spent the rest of the day watching football.  Everyone left Monday morning.
