SNOW-VILLAGE 2008.

Last year we were very late with the Christmas-decorations, so I left the village in the box.....
Too bad, because it looks so very beautiful and it is so much fun to look at!
So....I took a very deep breath and started the re-building of the village! And it's finished!
Hope you enjoy the details....
Big hug, Jen.

Stockings and fire place.

Slowly the house is getting ready for Christmas. The fire place looks nice and the stockings are hanging...Hopefully Santa will fill them! This little stable I bought in Mexico! The four little angels are from Sleighbells (Oregon, USA) .

Odie loves the tree.

Odie wants to sit or sleep on the chair next to the tree! So.....I did give him his blanket and there Mr. Claus is sleeping and enjoying the tree!
Peter did (as every year!) a great job with the decorations.....
The tree is HIS THING! Very traditional, just like the Dutch oliebollen. There is only one person in this family who bakes them! Peter! This time of year is sooo warm and cousy. I hope you all have the same wonderful winterfeelings as we.
Have a nice day, Jen.

Zwarte Piet.

This LO is all about Elle.
Elle is "head"of the Black Pieters (helpers of St. NIck) and he is alway's there....
He does not say anything bad about others....
He's just there.....Quiet, but believe me.....He knows and he does understand. He writes beautiful songs and he is a very delicate man!
Thank you, Elle, for all the things you do for a lot of people and THANK YOU(ABOVE ALL) FOR HELPING ST. NICK SO VERY WELL!
YOU ARE AN ARTIST!
Have a nice day and thank you for leaving a comment on my blog,
Jen.
