Durham History Museum: Christmas Tree and Santa Clause

 Went to museum with Charity's kids to see the tree and Santa Clause.  Santa Clause is in an auditorium underneath the museum.  We did some art and building projects, and visited the wedding dress and hockey exhibits.  These exhibits are not part of the permanent display so wanted to catch them while they are there.  Hockey was very fun.  They had a whole bunch of game like air hockey and hockey shooting cages.  All the kids took a turn, even Riley.  She was funny holding the hockey stick.  And of course putting the pucks in her mouth.

Christmas 2016: That Is One Darn Big Christmas Tree

Sheri and randy went all out this year and selected a large tree from Home Depot.  They did not want to use our fake tree with one section of lights that don't work.  I must admit, it smells much better.  However the boughs were not strong enough to hold the big ornaments.

My Office Christmas Decorations: 2016

I use the same decorations over and over; however this years they are put out differently.  Instead of hanging the snowflakes, and used them as ground cover, or shelf cover in this case.  The tree isn't as prominent, but snowflakes are on two levels.  My only creche is a framed piece of art.  I might ask Sheri for some more at home pieces, at least a nativity.
