Star Mountain Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope it was a lovely day for all. We had a special white Christmas with lots of snow.

A magical sleigh ride on Christmas Eve helped us get in the spirit. Dan the horse pranced down the trail with jingling bells. Penny helped him move along. "Pick it up Dan", the driver told her to say. We ended with hot chocolate by the fire. Outstanding...

Some playing in the snow action. Unfortunately not the kind of snow to build a snowman. Ice castle it is.

Xmas PJ's
Christmas eve anticipation with of course Christmas PJ's. A long time tradition in our family now passed to the next generation.


Christmas breakfast and after the present chaos. What meanies we were, they had to have breakfast first before presents.

Xmas dinner. Tiffany's excellent apple pie was had much later. Too full! And Heather I made your mashed potatoes with  Chris and Jules help. Turned out ok! Missed you guys💖💖💖💖

A little sledding action of course.

And I marched out to blaze a snowshoeing trail. Deeper snow in the woods than I thought - 3 feet in some places. Whisper quiet and no new animal tracks in the snow. A few days left of this fun adventure. We'll see what trouble we can get into...

Christmas time in Florida

Things are going to change weather wise pretty drastically in the next few days for me. The winter wonderland of Star Mt. is calling. We leave next week for a white Christmas with family. I'm super excited. Tiffany, Chris, Penny, and Jules will be flying in from Charleston. Not all can make it this year though. We'll be missing Heather, Brian, and baby Aubrey. Booo. No plane travel for her as of yet.  We'll miss you all so much!

Rainbow sightings are still happening. I've seen 3 in the last few weeks. I've always thought Star Mt. had all the rainbows- not so...

This is Christmas in Florida. While it doesn't seem exactly right, it sure has a fun festive feel.


Had to throw in more sunrise photos. Everyday they are just gorgeous. A wonderful way to start the day!

A mini trip comes first - Mark's company holiday party is awaiting. Must pack up and go as I'm Miami bound. Sure to be a big party statement with lots of razzle dazzle. ✨✨✨
