Christmas, 2012




Flowers consisted of traditional red poinsettias, around the nativity and in the shape of a tree.  Red berries topped the Christmas trees. Hanging vases with holiday flowers, including tulips and Stars of Bethlehem, graced the side doors.  A large arrangement of Christmas greenery and flowers was on the sideboard in the vestibule.


Fourth Sunday of Advent, 2012
More cedar and magnolia has been added to the progressive arrangement.
