It's Christmas time!

River still playing in the packing. Look how beautiful the Santa is! (He is on the tv stand all in white, right above Riv)

This is a beautiful Santa with Noah's ark and animals! So pretty!

Look how lovely they are! They are really special pieces!

River's first look at his new Santa friend

Almost to the treasure inside

Riv loved unwrapping and the peanuts of course!

River was so good during the festival

Beautiful donated quilt!

Grandma and Riv in front of our favorite quilt

My Mom and I attended the Festival of Trees this year with River. Beautiful Trees, garlands, wreaths, quilts, homemade goodies, etc. are donated and sold and all the money goes to the Primary Children's Hospital. Chelan has been a patient there and it is a wonderful hospital for children suffering at such a tender age. A lot of the trees were donated and decorated in Memory of children that have lost their sweet lives too early to illness. It was very touching and made me even more grateful for a beautiful, healthy child. I will always have a soft spot for these sweet angels among us who struggle, but smile through it all. My beautiful sister being my sweetest Angel :) My Mom and I fell in love with this beautiful quilt while we were there. It was so detailed, you probably can't tell from the pic. But it was beautiful!

River and I had a special delivery today! A special box labeled for River came from his sweet Uncle Doug. River was so excited to rip into the box and see what was inside! It was full of Beautiful Santa's!! I don't have any "nice" Christmas decorations and these Santa's are lovely and will be something our family will treasure always!! Thank you so much Doug :) You are so kind to be so generous and sweet to our family. River had a hay day with the unwrapping process and loved looking at the beautiful pieces. Thank you again!! We absolutely love them!!! You made our day with such a fun delivery :)
