Christmas Inspiration for your Home

Last Sunday, the Circa clan gathered at Jane's & Cindy's houses for our annual Christmas celebration. We start the evening at Jane's with drinks and hors d'oeuvres and then finish the evening at Cindy's with a delicious seated dinner.  It even snowed this year - a Circa Christmas Miracle, we joked!
 
This year, we decided that anyone under the age of 27 would perform a skit! And a skit, we came up with..."The Twelve Days of Circa"...and we made everyone participate. It was hilarious!!!
Every year, I leave happy and think about how beautiful both of their houses are, especially when decorated for Christmas! I'm sure that you will be inspired too...

Our Santa Party was a HIT!!!!!

Circa's 2nd Annual Holiday Open House with Santa Clause was a hit on Wednesday! We all had a blast with children and dogs running around the shop. It definitely got me in the Christmas spirit. Lindsay took some awesome photos of the kids and treats:

Photographer Steve Cook took portraits of all of the kids or dogs with Santa. He does a great job. Check out his website.
Cindy & Jane just couldn't pass up the opportunity to sit in Santa's lap!
All dogs love Santa! Maddie aka Mrs. Clause poses with Santa:
But by far the funniest part of the evening was when little Sally walked down the stairs at Circa and said..."Mama, Santa's house is beautiful" with the sheer amazement that only a child can exude!
Sally, the future interior designer, still in awe of Santa's house:
OR...when little Charlie walked up to Santa and said "Hey Santa, did you come down that fireplace?"
Charlie, the future analyst, still pondering how Santa didn't burn his velvet suit on that English firebasket:
