I didn't put any decorations up inside this year after my friend Judy passed. Grief got the better part of my motivation. But I have been going through old pictures of them to post in this album and it's been a fun trip down memory lane.
I bought this little wooden puzzle when the boys were quite young. There's a Christmas bell and a little church that go with it. They are usually up on my mantle.
I am plowing through pictures for the main album so that it will finish fairly close to the end of the year. No need for you to comment on any or all of these "catch-up" shots.
Thank you Diana, Issi, Katy, and Harry and thank you for your condolences. I have learned through several aspects of my job to not force your way through grief. It has to be allowed to run its course. So the lights were up outside and I felt at peace not worrying about what the indoors looked like. We weren't entertaining anyway, so it wasn't critical. It took a lot of pressure off.
