http://www.liz4cps.com/Main/Photos/Pages/Christmas_2008.html Our Christmas tree wasn’t much because of my illness, but it was pretty and the butcher table it’s on had arrived at just the right time.

Christmas day we went up to my brother’s house and met my niece’s fiance where there was lots of loving silliness!  http://www.liz4cps.com/Main/Photos/Pages/Christmas_2008.html#0 e76bc431-113c-4724-8711-3ec8fd369703 http://www.liz4cps.com/Main/Photos/Pages/Christmas_2008_files/Media/DSC00614.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.liz4cps.com/Main/Photos/Pages/Christmas_2008_files/Media/DSC00614.jpg?derivative=micro http://www.liz4cps.com/Main/Photos/Pages/Christmas_2008_files/Media/DSC00614.jpg?derivative=mip <div style="padding: 0px;
