Casa Somerset: Christmas Home Tour Saturday the 5th

In the very beginning of the house building process, we decided that we wanted to be on the Paola Christmas home tour some day. Well, it is here... this coming Saturday. We were fortunate to get wonderful decorators; Kathy Peace, Cindy Porter, Pam King and Diane Husted to help us. Their visions have brought Casa Somerset to be the most beautiful decorated home I have ever lived in. They put hours and hours into it. The room shown is just one of many. We call it the Raphael room. We hope you will stop by to view our house and all of the others on Paola's Christmas home tour. Christine's future daughter-on-law, Toshia , will be baking cookies at the house that day. Her son Mark will be here as well.

AND ON THE HOME FRONT......

My son Joshua went the extra mile with the Turkey for Thanksgiving on the roof. It was a practical joke on Christine, as she is not fond of inflatables. She came home last Tuesday evening and it was up on the roof. As she drove up, she just stopped and stared at it! It was hilarious!

I hope everyone had a happy and delicious Thanksgiving! Christine and I made our usual family favorites... she did her family's choices and I made mine. She had dressing, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole. I fixed stuffing, sweet potatoes, and brussel sprouts. We are able to agree on the turkey, so only one of those was necessary! :-)
