We Are Decorated.


Hey Everybody ...
we are finally all decorated for Christmas!

I thought I would share some of our holiday decorating traditions with you ...


I had just began to decorate the mantle ... stockings were hung, garland was up. Mike and I were upstairs gathering more decorations and I heard a huge crash ...


We came down to this mess ... stockings were on the ground and most of our stocking hangers (which I've had for years) were broken. Griffin was playing with the stockings (and he'd been told not to touch them) ... but oh well ... accidents happen.


Bett arrived yesterday ... yeah!! I pretty much had the Christmas tree decorated, but when she arrived from the airport she helped me to finish up the decorating.


Our Christmas tree ...

... and another ...


This is a new ornament this year ... I love it with Griffin's picture in it


Every year we put these two white doves on our tree in memory of my Momma & Daddy

So there you have it ... our Christmas decorations ... hope you all have a great day

  3. Your tree looks beautiful Missy and I love the outdoor lights.

    That's a nice tradition with the doves.

    Little hands like to touch and hold pretty things and yes, accidents do happen.

    Enjoy your Christmas!
