So, now, each year we go pick out a real tree, eat at CiCi's afterwards (don't ask), and come home and set it up and decorate it. Well, mostly I decorate it. Scott is in charge of keeping it watered. I saw a cute idea on Pinterest where a couple had saved the bottom part of the trunk of their Christmas trees for each year they had been married and wrote the year and something significant about that year (baby's first Christmas, etc.) We are going to start that this year and Scott says our tree from last year is out in the back 40 so he's going to get a slice of that trunk as well (we may fib and cut an extra for our first year.)
Here are a few of our other Christmas decorations. I didn't decorate as much this year because, well, 1. I'm pregnant and tired, and 2. we're about to move.
I love collecting small, ornamental Christmas trees. I'd have them everywhere if I could. |
Homemade Christmas stockings- The "P" is for Pepper, and those are fire hydrants if you can't tell. One "S" for Scott and one for me- his has airplanes and mine has music notes. |
New way to display an old favorite. My super crafty Auntie Linda handmade all of these cards. This year, I put them under the glass of my coffee table to sort of "frame" them and keep them safe. |
