Celebrating Christmas With Carolers

The house was ready

Don't you just love candles and what they do to a room?

Once we returned from Gaeta we started to help prepare for Laura and Robert's friends to come over for a caroling party on Wednesday evening. We made a bunch of goodies, straightened up the house, etc and then they all arrived. We had put out luminaries all along the walkway of their section of the complex and and it was just the right amount of cold without rain...yay! If you are wondering where all the rain is...it is over here in Europe. Several families came and joined us as we walked around caroling, it was so much fun. Afterward we came home for hot chocolate, cider, gingerbread cookies, and a bunch of other things that will make you want to start eating. Here are some of the photos.

The bakers did a great job!

The goodies all ready for the party.

I love this hutch that use to belong to Jim's grandmother
and how Laura painted it red to give it some pizazz!
