Deck The Halls....................

Allison and I had a great evening making our annual Christmas wreaths at the Portland Floral Institute.  She is hanging hers in her entry so in this picture, she was almost finished with the decorations.  We started with a traditional fresh made wreath, then added lots more greens, pods, berries, ornaments, pine cones and......... then we attached a small bird's nest.

To make the evening more special we started at the Vintners Cellar where we enjoyed wine and snacks to celebrate Allison's birthday, which is today.

Instead of hanging my wreath, I'm using it on my round glass table in the living room.
