Christmas (Monsoon) by the Sea

Every year we experience different kinds of weather at our traditional Christmas by the Sea in Ogunquit.  One year there was a snowstorm...another year there were huge snowflakes while we shopped and it felt like we were in a snow globe...last year it was bitterly cold...and this year it was pouring rain.  But thankfully it was a warm rain.  All the outdoor activities were canceled unfortunately but we still did our restaurant food tasting event which is always a lot of fun and very yummy...and lots of shopping at our favorite stores.  We just dressed for the occasion and we were fine...

We made edible ornaments for the outdoor Christmas tree when we arrived on Saturday morning...but didn't put them on the tree until Sunday once the rain stopped...

The house looked so pretty all decorated for Christmas and very cozy...

I fell in love with this lovely little space heater...I want one!!

Saturday night Julia and I drove a bit south of Ogunquit to Andrae's first meet of the season.  He placed 6th on vault.  Just incredible talent at that meet.  I had no idea there were so many talented male gymnasts in our area...(watch the very back of the gym)...

The weather cleared nicely on Sunday but it was very windy.  We had a great breakfast at a place down the street called Raspberri's...

The lobby was decorated so beautifully...

After breakfast we went to Perkin's Cove to see the ocean...such a gorgeous day...

My silly girl knows how to make me laugh...

And as usual Pallian always puts me in the Christmas spirit...
