Hello Family:

Well, as you all know we had an eventful Fall.  Most of it was spent preparing for Kate and Tyson’s wedding.   What a good time that was.  Then it was on to the holiday.  Oh, yeah we did work and  everyday things in there as well!

A new activity for me is doing puppets with Pamey for the Early Learning Center chapel.  Stop in some time on Friday mornings and meet Elcee and Oral.  Oral is a slightly grumpy and slightly clueless rabbit.  That would be my partJ

In November, I kicked off the holiday season by marching in the Christmas parade with the Cosmosphere.  It was wet and cold.  We tried to convince our gift store manager we needed matching Cosmosphere umbrellas so as to dance down the street but he wasn’t as excited.  We decorated our tree, Grandma and Grandpa’s tree and helped with the church ones. Oh and my office.  It all was fun and festive.

We’ve added some new things and of course have our favorite old things as well.  Here are pictures.

For years, I've dutifully decorated the office with a space theme.  Not so this year-it PIGS1!1

The piggy on stilts has been a favorite!

One of the guys from Space Works made the little display area!

A new display by Tim for his village.  We haven't had it all out in years.  Now if it just survives the dogs' tails.

New to us.  Found this at the thrift store.

I've had this Christmas towel and roll of  TP for the bathroom since my dorm days in college.  Moral of the story-if you visit please don't use this TP roll:)

Tim's skier from his boyhood.

I remember picking this ornament out in Macy's in Topeka.  It's been around awhile.

Wishing everyone a blessed holiday.

Love

Auntie and Tim
