~A Magical Evening

 This past Friday evening was a magical one indeed. I spent it with my husband at the Walker Homestead’s “Old Fashioned New England Christmas by the Hearthside” with the most wonderful folks!

  3. Hello Bonnie,
    Love the pictures, you captured the magic! I am particularly fond of the picture of my daughter Lydia with Father Christmas;-) I am sorry we didn't meet formally when I got a calendar, but I was as nervous as a cat watching to make sure Lydia didn't bump into anything...LOL! Enjoy the rest of the show!
    Blessings,
    Suzanne

  10. At first I thought Father Christmas with the child might have been an old
    painted Christmas card until I peered more closely. Your photographs are
    splendid...placing us in the midst of that wondrous atmosphere among
    such accomplished people. Kris is the best Father Christmas of note;
    a walking portrait. Bless you for sharing.
