Second get together with daughter Christine (middle) and grandchildren Rosemary and Grandson Seth on Christmas Day.

My little tree...  First Christmas without my beloved Bill. ♥ Very hard emotionally. But we all were celebrating the birth of Lord Jesus.

And in keeping with my backyard critters, the mallard couples returned and were dunking for food in the little lake behind the house...

And the great Blue Heron came to visit.  The Merganser duck couple came too but they are so swift and dive completely under water so I was not able to snap a picture good enough to post.

Thank you so much for coming and I hope your CHRISTmas was wonderful and that your NEW YEAR will be bright with promise and blessings!

I am looking forward to a brighter New Year with the Great Granddaughter- to-be the end of January.  Something wonderful to look forward to.

My wild heart to yours...
