Christmas Sights - SD

We have half a dozen birds that are lit from within;
one of our favorite ornaments.

Vintage Santa mug

Decorated truck outside the commissary

I made this wreath last year

After the Stake Christmas concert last week, Kimo and  I 
took a walk around the nearby neighborhood to look at their
decorations.

This yard was kind of creepy with the lights turned off!

Sparkly Nativity scene

Clairemont Ward decorations

Home Depot cactus

Sparkly sugar cookies-Tom's fav

Beautiful temple!

Inflatable Nativity scene

 

Art Depicting Christ

Love the light shining overhead and the Christ child
looking up toward it (and His Father).

Christ again looks upward-love the bright
strokes of paint

Bought a very old piano book that has gorgeous illustrations, including this one of the Holy Family.

Love how Peter seems to be rushing toward the beckoning Christ!

The first sacrament

Two minimalist versions of the Holy Family

The use of light here is spectacular!

Different version of Christ walking on the water

Another nice use of light

 

3D Fun

Mandalorian bust

Tom is the nursery leader at church and he wants to give each of the children in nursery a bird-shaped water whistle for Christmas! He's having Kimo make them on the 3d printer-they sound really good!

I needed a flower-shaped cookie cutter to make
blooming marshmallow flowers for Christmas.
I wanted the petals of the flower to be a bit longer
than the ones I could find in the store, so Kimo
made me one!  Sweet!

 

The whole flock of birds!

November Photo Dump

Beautiful, early morning temple

Putting together a Gladiator sticker as a Christmas present for Tom.

Got out our Christmas decorations early this year
to be able to enjoy them longer!

Sushi lunch with my favorite son!

PB telephone pole

Latest crochet project-tissues pull out of the slit on top
imitating whipped cream.

Kimo printed me a cookie cutter on the 3D printer.

He also printed up a Darth Vader bust.

See these trucks all the time!

Enchilada dinner-yum!

Getting to use my Cricut a lot lately!

My current favorite finger food...

Sausage/cheese puff pastries!

Car maintenance can be dirty work!
