Christmas at Carpenter

This year, we were entered in a holiday decorating contest. We didn't win the grand prize, but at least we tried. Our theme didn't really come together as we planned. Steve created a tree with pictures of patrons who were involved in the military. Each ornament had their picture, rank, favorite place stationed, and years of service. We did get an honorable mention award for "Best Chocolate Treats" for my chocolate peanut clusters. I slipped the recipe to the ex-Chief of Police, so that helped a lot.
