Christmas Decorations


I finally got around to taking a few pictures of my house decorated for Christmas. ( I can see in the pictures that it is time to paint, though!) . I really LOVE these "Believe" blocks! I was originally going to make some, but found them already done at a cute gift shop here in town, so I figured my time was worth more. I do think I will try them on my mantle next year though!
This is my living room-the room you see when you walk in the door. This is my first year to have a tree in the living room AND the family room. Ever since I was teaching school in Texas I have wanted 2 trees! Our school secretary had the whole staff over one night, she had a tree in her living room that was so formal and beautiful AND one in her family room with all the colored lights and kid ornaments! I was soooo impressed!
My living room tree is not exactly the way I want it, but it is there! I have all thePrecious Moments ornaments on it, I will hit the sales after Christmas with this tree in mind!





This is the family room "Cowboy" tree. My Texas SILs have sort of started a tradition for me. Ever since we moved to California, they have sent me the cutest western ornaments for my tree! Beckie (who live here in town) even got me a darling long horn belt buckle ornament this year. Yee Haw!
* One extra great thing about today is the invitation the girls and I received for tonight! Since Scott is gone we have had some pretty "lame" dinners, I must admit, so when we were invited to go over to Brad and Beckie's house for dinner tonight, we were so happy! The bonus is , we get to see Austin and Gavin! Lindsay has been planning her strategy to sit by Austin all afternoon! Gotta go...it's time to eat!

Your Christmas decorations look so pretty and festive! I also noticed the Christmas book from Susan Branch on your counter...I am a big Susan Branch fan! You have a beautiful family! Merry Christmas! :-)

Your Christmas decorations look great and I especially like your vacuum lines in the living room! haha!

I am glad you girls were able to come over tonight. That was fun and Austin loved it. I think he feels very special with Anna and Lindsay doting over him! Thanks for helping me give Austin a bath. The whole idea was for you to have a night to NOT have to do anything and you still ended up helping.

I am too tired to try to write my post about my Dad. I will try tomorrow!
