...Christmas! I did it. I put the Christmas stuff out early this week. I know what you're thinking, its not even Thanksgiving yet! Well, I figured since we will be spending both holidays out of town with our families, I better enjoy them now. That, and I just love all the holiday decorations out right now. The last couple of years I had really colorful decorations, pink, green, turquoise and orange. This year I decided to go for a more natural, winter white color scheme of silver, white, bronze and gold with a few touches of red.
I only put out our 4' white tree and decided not to put out the numerous others, including our large green one. I wanted this year to be a bit more cozy and intimate. I love the new ornaments and decorations I have this year. Now its time to figure out holiday cards - my second favorite thing.
Bryan lost his Grandmother this year. She was such a lovely woman and quite the spitfire. She gave us this Santa below. She hand painted it in '95 and it was extra meaningful this year as I unwrapped it. It is such a treasure.
I also put out a Nativity Scene that was my Grandmother's. Ever since I can remember she had this Nativity and put it out on her entry table - so that is where it will sit in my home every year. My favorite piece as a little girl was that little lamb. I am so thankful to have it. It is beautiful and I cherish it so very much. I think of her every time I walk in and out the door.
And it wouldn't be a Sunday {or any day for that matter} without a lazy shot of Sir Wesley.
I'm off to meet up with a very dear friend visiting from Denver. Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon!
