Decorating for Christmas is quite the ordeal around here with Christmas music in the background. It’s such a pleasure getting everything all set up.
O Christmas Tree…
Swarovski ornament 2004
The tree in the family room is dedicated to Swarovski, Lenox and Precious Moments. We’ve collected ornaments each year from all of the mentioned. With the Swarovski, we collect the annual star ornaments as well as the little ones too.
A favorite Precious Moments ornament from 1998 is special as Bobby was taking flying lessons that year and working towards getting his pilots license. We have 3 years worth of ‘Our First Christmas Together’. We started dating in 97, got engaged on Christmas morning 98 and were newlyweds in 99; hence all three years were firsts.
A favorite Lenox ornament from 2001.
This 7′ Pencil tree did not make it to the living room, now the kitchen has 2 trees.
The tree in the kitchen features cloisonné pieces that we purchased during our visit to China several years ago.
Kitchen tree # 2
Our little tree in the dining room.
Handrails decorated with tree garland, ribbon, lights and berries.
I still need to get my green and red candles going and I’m pretty much all finished on the inside this year. Now we need to get to the outside.
Very nice! Love that garland on the banister.
