It has been a busy week for us and I am up before breakfast this morning to prepare lunch for my lunch-bunch girlfriends. Poor Joe will make himself scarce for a few hours. Actually, he is going to do some Christmas shopping (I think) and he has a facial appointment, so don't feel sorry for him!
I am looking at our little Christmas tree and remembering Christmases past. I have been so blessed to share 32 Christmases with Joe and the boys. Many of you have seen these before if you have been connected for a few years, so pardon the reruns!!
My first Christmas as a D'Orsaneo (1989). Love my boys!
I LOVE this photo of Joe and his mom under the mistletoe on Christmas Eve 1999.
Grandson Tristan with his Great-Grandma, Christmas 1999.
Mom & Dad D'Orsaneo's legacy. All D'Orsaneos two days after Christmas 1999.
This was the day of the night Joe's mom passed away. What a blessing that we had
this family gathering.
The Museum had a Festival of Trees for several years.
This is Lauren and Tristan with one of the decorated trees
back in 2003.
Memories, light the corners of my mind!! Thanks for peeking in today! Happy Friday!
Peace & hugs!
