I'm not one to decorate for each season (though I wish I was, I always think it's so pretty, I just haven't ever done it), so maybe that's why I love decorating for Christmas. It's the one time of the year that there's a little variety in the house, and it brings warm homey feelings. Here's a look at some of the new additions to our Christmas cheer...
A fourth stocking for baby brother...(he doesn't need a full size one, obviously)
My growing Willow Tree Nativity scene
Our annual Hallmark Keepsake ornament (my mom got one for each of us every year since I was born, so we're continuing the tradition. This one says "Connected with a bond of belonging - forever family, 2007." That's how I feel this year: blessed to be a family, and looking forward to the many adventures that are in store for us ahead.
Your tree looks great. How are you going to stop Katy grabbing the stockings? I've got mine hanging from the mirror above the fireplace, which looks silly but I don't know what else to do.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind but I linked to your blog tonight.
Maybe see you guys this weekend???
My mom did the same things for us every Christmas. It's a fun tradition to carry on with our kids now.
