Well I thought I'd share some of what we put out for Christmas.
To start is our Tree.
It is decorated with the kids' ornaments. Each year the kids get a
new ornament with the year on it & sometimes with their name.
There are also a few that have been made by one of us. This year
Elizabeth has added her first ornament made at school.
Under the tree is our skirt, that Lynda, my MIL made for us to
match our colors. She did a beautiful job on it! We love it!


The is my manger scene. I've had it for years. We put white cotton ball-like stuff
for a snow effect and some cinnamon scented pinecones. On the edge is the socking holders
that we just hang little stockings from.

This is our Christmas candy corner. A little Gingerbread house that holds candy canes
a Christmas tree to hold M&M's and the last is a nut bowl, but this year we are using
it for soft peppermint candies.

This is our fireplace decorations. I love this Santa! He is pooped and rests nicely
on the lip of the fireplace frame, right next to the Christmas tree.
Elizabeth hung the little stocking here because it plays music when you push the button.

Along with these decorations, we also have icicle lights hung through the living room.
It's very pretty in the evening with all the lights lit.
