Christmastime in Thomasville/Lexington, North Carolina

Roberta Miller & her girls had a fun, Christmasy day planned for us.  Esther & I were the out-of-towners getting to experience some of the local Christmas traditions for the first time!
First, we went to the Lexington Tea House for the real deal.  What a neat place!  Esther & I both got the Christmas Tea.  The others got different tea menus.  Roberta let me sample her pumpkin soup--my 1st time to ever eat any.












Since I love to wear hats so much, I "conned" the rest of the girls into wearing hats for a photo op.  Our waitress helped us by taking some shots for us.

Cute decor by the windows.

After we did some clothes shopping, we went to the Charity League's "Holiday House".  This is a local, historical home whose owners decorate for Christmas then allow any visitors for an Open House.  When we showed our tickets outside the home, we were each given a large pamphlet with details of the interesting historical & design facts for each room of the house.

Back entrance.
 This house is owned by a couple with 2 young girls & a little boy who isn't 1 yr. yet.  Take a look at some of the shots I got.  They can't really give you the complete picture of what we saw, but you'll enjoy seeing some of the interesting decorating techniques.

Thanks, Miller girls (ladies, BIG girls!!), for sharing this event with Esther & me!
