The DuPont family has left a legacy of beautiful museums, estates and hospitals in the Delaware Valley area. Longwood Gardens is one of our favorites, especially at Christmas and so we loved to get back out there and see the lights and displays.
My camera is not fancy enough (nor am I) to figure out how to capture the lights well but the grounds were covered with lights and give Temple Square in Salt Lake some competition!
The greenhouses had fabulous displays! I love these ornamental cabbages!
I love the natural decorations and the cyclamen!
We are on a search for these lanterns that were hanging in the rose greenhouse!

Amazing wreath with a variation of poinsettas








We borrowed snow pants & coats and boots from good friends so she was ready!
Taylor thought it looked good enough to eat so she had to lick it !
Taylor and her cousin, Nathan, hanging in all this white stuff!
Our masterpiece on my parent's front lawn!
My parents have a fabulous park on the other side of the woods behind their house. We bundled up to enjoy the paths and John even found a new business idea!
Taylor & my dear friend, Julie! So fun to catch up with her and her family!
My aunt's tree is always fun to soak in and adore - it contains much of her doll collection over the years and gorgeous antique and glass ornaments - such a treasure! Luckily Taylor did not touch or break anything, she left that to her 5 year old cousin, William (luckily it was just a "basic" glass ball that broke!).
I love this picture of my Mom & I with Taylor in front of my Aunt's gorgeous tree (except that my mom's crown fell out that morning! As soon as I figure out my photoshop program I got for Christmas, I'll fix it, Mom!)













A perk of living in Houston is gorgeous weather for Thanksgiving weekend. So that meant fun times at the park in our neighborhood.
She is getting so big!
Kisses!


Taylor loved his balloons and carried them with her all over the house!
