The Manor House at Wildwood Preserve has one week a year that it's decorated for the Holidays. For those of you new to the area it's the first full week in December, Sunday to Sunday. I can't remember a time when I haven't gone. It's especially impressive since it's decorated by local groups, clubs and sometimes families. Our friends at the Garden Forum did a beautiful job on the enclosed porch this year. 
The turtles were a big hit with the Rapplings.
Kate always tries to guess how the kitchen will be decorated before we see it each year. This year's theme was Gingerbread. Lots of felt cookie cut outs. Miss Paige loved the candy canes and lollipops sticking out of the tree.
The room that is always tied for favorite is the upstairs bath. Santa was busy napping in the tub. Of course this was the room that Paige started to go under the roping to play in. The reindeer were to cute to resist.
Sydney loved the trains. Her grandpa would be so very proud. There was a little lever car pushed by Santa and an Elf that she watched with great interest. She loves that her Aunt Laura has a train around her tree. Now she's thinking we should have a train around our tree too. I would love to see that cats chase that. Of course Kate was messing around in the background as usual.
Paige wants this tree. Chili peppers everywhere. It of course looks more amazing without the flash. Sorry snapping pictures on the fly. This is the very end of the house on the way up the back steps Kate wanted a Rappling photo on the steps but her siblings were done for the day. So another tradition over for the year it must be Christmastime.
