Some Decorations....

This year has been fun to decorate as the house is finally not in shambles and Andrew is finally digging the Christmas "Bling" :) And yes...he knows Christmas is about more than just the "bling" and the gifts...that it's Jesus' Birthday! (Once in awhile he'll say it's Santa's Birthday but 99% of the time, he gets it right!) ;o)

Not suprisingly, I have fallen horribly behind with pictures but here's a few of our little decorations... I will try to post some of the house lit up before it's time to take those down. David worked hard getting those lights up:)

Below is our main tree in the front living room which is full of family ornaments and fun memories! We're not necessarily the aestheticly perfect trees, but into ones with memories. (The gold ribbon is a personal touch of David's!)

Below is the miniature Christmas tree in Andrew's room. He decorated it pretty much by himself. I tried to re-distribute some of the decorations but Jeff was here and he reminded me that it was HIS tree and to let Andrew decorate it...so I obliged. I think he did a pretty good job actually! :) Next is a picture of the little tree in our family room that is also "Andrew's tree". Next to it is a picture taken with Santa last year. Andrew was scared so I had to sit with him. And even though he's grown up SOOOOOOO much from when that picture was taken, he's STILL terrified of Santa so we won't try that again this year. (I'm sure Santa's everywhere are sighing from relief!) :)

Below is some greenery and baubles to compliment the beautiful "NOEL" my Aunt Laura gave us last year...

The last picture on the blog for tonight was one of both pride and frustration (?). Somehow the 3 wreaths I had previously have been misplaced/lost/sold/burned/who knows! But they are missing and at the very least, I have to have a wreath on my front door.

SO....visiting our local Hobby Lobby recently (I am a mad lover of their 50% off sales!), I found some "decent" looking wreaths that were pre-decorated. At 50% they were $45.00. That's FORTY-FIVE DOLLARS AT 1/2 PRICE! And they really weren't too attractive! So, I grabbed a $7.00 wreath and about $5.00 worth of accents (mind you these were after the 50% off reduction but still!) and VOILA! Our new front door wreath!

And now it's 11:07 p.m. and this sleepyhead has to watch the news on DVR and hit the sack. I'm pooped! Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. Oh...wait...this weekend is family Christmas for the Davlin-McCoy side of the family. Welp...I'll sleep Sunday night! :) Let the good times roll!
