CHRISTMAS WITH ROSE and KEN….

….what a wonderful holiday tradition. It’s so much fun to see everyone and look at all the Christmas decorations…..Rose remembers the history of each and every toy, decoration and ornament!

Richard King, Board member at Woodbury and President of King Enterprises…Oh there’s dear Joan ….wonder what they’re talking about????

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…….

This is the cutest picture…..Sweet Sue with our dear Carol…..she really gets into the joy of the day….love those beads Carol (and the story behind them!)

The earrings were a gift…..we couldn’t figure out how they were attached….(all of one piece).

Several rooms had tables set just like this one…….fun and festive…..

I wish I had gotten a better photograph of the amazing Patte B.

Let me digress……each year Patte begins the holiday season with the most wonderful open house in her spectacular home…..

Take note of the two portraits to the right…..

Is this awesome or what……

Next time you’re on Barham Blvd……….

And I love the ‘Service’ to the right…..

Collector and dear friend Sally R. engrossed in conversation….she’s sooooooo sweet!

Let’s sit down and get cozy…….

Libation anyone????

On the way home there’s a house on Los Feliz that has every square inch lit up. People park there cars and start snapping! Wish I had a better picture to show you.

O.K……..back to Rose and Ken……

Salad anyone???????

It’s all about the bacon!!!!!

What would happen if I took the Gingerbread man?????????

OHHHHH……watch the bacon grab…….

Bagels, smoked salmon & cream cheese……yum…….

When will the madness stop…..Can’t believe I ate the whole yummy thing. It’s a wonder I didn’t go back for seconds but then I would have exploded. (Note to self: Get the recipe for that sublime potato dish in the middle of your plate.) Kita is afraid of the Santa whose head lights up and spins around….can you blame her?
