Eleanor's Elf, Mom's Time Out, Red On White

1. This dear little elf belonged to Steve's grandmother. He's old and faded and he still sits on the hutch and watches over our Christmas every year.

2.  L. and I babysat our friend's three little ones this morning. They were a breeze to care for, brought many smiles to us, and the time flew right by.

3. The Christmas little people have taken a liking to the ironstone lids hanging on the wall. I'm not sure I can let them stay; they look a little goofy. Which is exactly why I think my granddaughter might like to see them there.
