It's All About The Trees




Yes, I may have started decorating for Christmas.
Thanksgiving is being celebrated at my father's house.

So, 
I may have a tree 
or two
 or three
 maybe more 
that have started getting the Christmas treement.

The kids
 may have
helped me get all twenty something storage buckets out of the attic.

may have
 picked a new color for the dinning room tree or my master tree.

May smay.

Dang straight I have.

Here is a peak at my trees in progress.


This is the tree in the new master bedroom.
I am trying out different colors and have not yet chosen a final look.

A few pieces on the mantel and two enhanced stockings are hung.
I brought one of my slipcovered chairs up from the basement.


Here is the tree at the end of the day.
I am leaning toward cream and gold.
The blue is there because I am trying turquoise, but I don't think it will stay.

Maybe it will look better in the dinning room.
I have started working on that tree too.


See there's the blue again.
I am still trying.


And the basement tree.


This tree is done in mostly gold and vintage except for the Santas I made and a few I found last year at Kohls.

I did borrow some to use for my bed room tree.



This is the room where the kids retreat to watch cartoons or a movie.
You didn't think I would forget the basement did you?


And you?
Hows your decorations going?
Are you a wait until after Thanksgiving or have you started now?

Merry Christmas



I guess it is a really good thing I asked Santa for a camera this year.

My camera is broke.
I can't get the zoom to work.
Nothing is in focus.

Here are some pictures I managed to salvage.


This snowy picture is from Friday.
Arbor House lane all covered in snow.
We were all happy to see snow on the grown.
It makes it feel so much more like Christmas.


I was able to upload some of the pictures that turned out ok.
This is the new tree in the basement.
I decorated it in golds.
Normally I would say I am not a gold person but I really like it.


The dinning room is all ready for guests to arrive.


My favorite snow angels hanging in the hallway.


The living room Christmas tree seen through a mirror in the room.


The mantel in the kitchen.
My white amaryllis is almost in full bloom.


An urn filled with silver and white ornaments on the kitchen island.





Christmas in the kitchen.
All of my lights are on timers and the trees are lit up each morning as I come downstairs. 
This is what I am greeted with as I get ready for each day as I make my morning coffee.



Thank goodness Santa said I might be able to open a certain Christmas present early.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, me, I have to work today, but I am thankful for a wonderful husband who can stay home with the kids and get our home ready for Christmas Eve guests.

Merry Christmas to all!
