Christmas at Curt's

Sunday evening Curt and Vanessa invited Lisa, Craig, and me over for cheese pizza and a movie. We watched two - The Berenstein Bears' Christmas for the kids, and then Home Alone for the adults. (Cheese pizza is what Kevin wants to eat in the movie and that triggers the events that cause him to be left behind when his family flies to Paris.)

Curt's home is beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Their stockings hang from the bannister - my mom made Curt's when he was a baby.

I brought Mila her Christmas pillowcase - I love that fabric so much! (She loved it, too.)

Their nativity is by Willow Tree and I gave them some of the pieces.

This door (never used) is so cute with its sign, kid-made snowflakes, and the tabletop decorations!

Curt pointed out two of his favorite ornaments from childhood - hung high to keep them safe from little fingers. My mother gave him those, and I got teary looking at them.

After the first movie, the kids brushed their teeth to get ready for bed.

Ian and Craig played a game that Ian's teeth were so blindingly white, that Craig could not look at them.

It is hard to believe that the holidays are here!
