Christmas at Caswell House

My mom, sister, Grace and I started our Christmas shopping early. Truth be told the Christmas shopping started last week---I just don't have any pictures of our trip to Michael's. Every year they fill the Caswell house with all sorts of Christmas type things that you can purchase. Lots of cute stuff, I have to say. I'm glad Grace came along because I used her as an excuse to take pictures of some really cute stuff that I want to buy, I mean that I want to make. Silly, I know.

She just had to take a pictures with this reindeer. I'm still not really sure why she liked it so much.

Now, with the white tiger downstairs. I don't think she realized that this tiger was for sale. Otherwise, she would have been begging me for it. Notice how the pillow in front of the tiger reads "Naughty". Coincidence?
Of course we couldn't resist a picture with Santa. I started wondering how she is going to do this year with her Santa picture. She did really well last year so here's hoping. Lucas, I know will freak out.
If the smiles on our face are a little strange looking then consider this: Grace took this picture and just before she snapped the photo she said "say table". She took a pretty good picture, I thought.

She was being really sweet here. I think because she was planning on hitting me up for a mint. She is a mint addict. Specifically, the Chik fil a mints. If you go, grab her a couple and she'll be sweet to you too.

With some pretty flowers that match her dress.
Today was also my Grandmother's 85th birthday. We were so happy to celebrate with her over seafood and chocolate cake. Not on the same plate. She had celebrated her birthday last week by going on a cruise to Cozumel. I only hope to be that active when I'm 85! Happy birthday, Grandma!
