Christmas Spirit

FOR ANYONE THAT KNOWS ME, THEY KNOW THAT I LOVE TO DECORATE FOR CHRISTMAS AND I USUALLY START EARLY. IT IS TAKING ME LONGER THIS YEAR THAN EVER BEFORE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE, OR BECAUSE I AM DOING IT ALL AROUND KEEPING THE KIDS, KEEPING THE HOUSE, AND DOING THE LAUNDRY.

SO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WILL NOT GET TO COME BY AND ENJOY THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS AT OUR HOUSE, HERE IS A LITTLE PEEK...

TREE #1

THIS IS WIN'S TREE.

WIN'S TREE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TREES. IT IS A BLACK TREE, WITH BLUE AND SILVER WITH A STAR WARS TWIST. HE REALLY LIKES IT.

TREE #2

THIS IS LILY'S TREE.

LILY'S TREE IS THE PERFECT COLOR FOR HER ROOM. IT JUST HAS RANDOM ORNAMENTS THAT WERE PINK AND PURPLE. I ALSO SPLIT UP ALL OF MY LENOX ORNAMENTS AND PUT THEM ON HER TREE AND EMMA'S TREE. I HOPE THAT NEXT YEAR I CAN DO MORE OF A THEMED TREE. I WAS JUST TRYING TO WORK WITH WHAT I HAD. I BOUGHT A BUNCH OF STUFF AFTER CHRISTMAS LAST YEAR, KNOWING THAT I WOULD HAVE ROOM FOR IT THIS YEAR.

TREE #3

THIS IS EMMA'S TREE .
EMMA'S TREE IS REAL GIRLY GIRL. WHEN UNPACKING ALL OF THE OTHER ORNAMENTS, SHE WOULD FIND ONE THAT SHE LIKED AND SNEAK IT UP AND PUT IT ON HER TREE. SHE WAS SO EXCITED AND WANTS TO BUY MORE FOR HER TREE.



TREE #4

THIS IS A TREE THAT IS IN THE OFFICE.
THE PICTURE IS NOT REAL CLEAR, BUT IT IS A CUTE TREE. IT HAS ALL DOCTOR STUFF AND APPLES. I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING DOCTOR ORNAMENTS SINCE NICK AND I GOT MARRIED. THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAVE PUT UP JUST A DOCTOR TREE.


TREE #5
THIS IS THE LARGEST TREE. IT SITS BETWEEN FOR COLUMNS AS YOU COME IN THE HOUSE. IT WAS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR A TREE. IT IS RED, GOLD AND GREEN. IT IS MY "FANCY" TREE. AND NOW AFTER DOING I OF THIS I NOTICE THAT THE PHOTO IS NOT THE BEST. IT WILL TRY TO HAVE A BETTER ONE LATER.......

TREE #6

THIS IS A TREE MORE IN OUR LIVING ROOM. IT IS BLOCKING ONE SIDE OF THE FRENCH DOORS. IT IS A TREE WITH LOTS OF ORNAMENTS OF ALL ALL COLORS, SHAPES AND SIZES. IT TURNED OUT REALLY WELL. NEXT YEAR, I HOPE TO PUT IT ALL ON A LARGER TREE. THIS TREE IS ONLY 6 FT. AND IT NEEDS TO BE 9.

AND THE MANTLE...

OK, SO I HAVE MOST OF THE INSIDE DONE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DINING ROOM TABLE. I HAVEN'T DECIDED IF I WILL CHANCE SETTING IT WITH DISHES OR IF I WILL JUST DO A CENTER PIECE.

AND WHEN THE WEATHER PERMITS...

OUTSIDE!

DECORATING THE OUTSIDE IS MY FAVORITE PART.
