Deck the Halls 2011

We put up our tree on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. I am still missing a box of ornaments, but I’m sure I’ll find it eventually.  Tonight I got a few more decorations out, so it now feels like Christmastime around here!

I love this battery operated candle I picked up on the clearance aisle at Hobby Lobby several months ago…

simple touches…

These are all the Santa pics since Bryce was born almost 12 years ago… I don’t really have a place for them.. I’m still contemplating if I’ll put them out or not… fun to look through, though!    

Dan helped Rylan make homemade paper-chain garland for our tree. Nothing better than homemade for the holidays.

 

I had fun slowing down the shutter speed of my camera …

  I made this rag garland a few years back. This empty shutter awaits its first Christmas card… photo Christmas cards, another favorite holiday decoration of mine!
