New!

So I thought I'd show you what I did new this year in the Christmas department.


This is my favorite tree. 
My mom loaded me down with gingerbread men, and then I added the yard ornament candy canes.  Kyle is my Christmas tree light turner on-er, and he tells me every night, "Mommy, this is my favorite tree."
And though Kyle hasn't tried to eat the giant candy canes, he has engaged in quite a few "sword fights" with Reed.


This bookshelfy thing usually sits behind my couch, but I moved it into my kitchen this year.  It's been a perfect place to display all my smaller trees. 


 Soooo glad my DELI sign is red.  It goes perfect with Christmas decorations!


I call this my Snow Baby Tree.  I picked these blue ornaments up at Pier 1 after Christmas and had no idea what I'd do with them.  I love how they look with the icicles.


I surprised JR with a Cub Scout tree for his room.  He squealed when he saw it, so I guess that means he likes it.


And finally, though it's not a new tree, it's in a new location. 
Jason had to move the mountain lion to our room so we could put up our big tree in the living room.
I figured the lion wouldn't mind wearing a Texas cowboy hat, even though he's a New Mexican.

Thanks for sharing your decor with us! I DO LOVE the yard decor candy cane idea--I just might have to copy that idea next year. (with credit to you of course!) We are enjoying a cold snap and some much needed rain, kinda feels like the season.
Love ya...Lu

Enjoyed the tour. The BS tree is great and so is the GB tree. I'm w/ Lu. The lights really do the trick. Also I want a Deli sign!! If you can't find it after Christmas, you'll know it's in my suitcase. MR

Wow Jan! Can you come and decorate for me too?? I was going to post a picture of our completed Christmas tree but now I think I'll just say "it's done" and leave it at that;-)

Wow, they are all my favorite for some reason or another, there is something special in them all. Now I don't feel so bad about not having a tree, I can just look at yours anytime I want to.
