It's beginning to look alot like, well...

After living in Britain for 14 years I have finally got the Christmas tree topper that I have wanted all these years! Almost exactly like the one we had growing up, and it suits our 1948 house perfectly! Thanks Etsy- all the way from California!!




It's freezing, wet and very very windy outside, which is generally Christmas in Scotland. It feels like we have had no summer at all (because we haven't) and Mae has picked up a new hobby. Skating. She loves it, and that's great, but I wished she enjoyed something more like scuba diving in the Maldives. I guess at least skating is accessible here......


She's really quite good, especially going backwards! I couldn't really do it well as a child but I don't mind it now; maybe I'll even get some skates from Santa myself......

Ah yes!! I couldn't picture it over the phone but I remember those tree topper stars. Some nice retro glitz.
Nice blade-work Mae.

Love that star! Love Etsy too. And Mae looks like a star herself.

Welcome to the world of being an arena Mom! I spend 7-10 times a week in an arena...but I'm so proud of them all!! Mae looks great out there!

We had a star like that too! And what a great Canadian hobby to do in England. :)
