Trim the trees and wrap the presents, turn the Christmas music on...

I finally finished my tree on Wednesday. I was very excited to decorate because I have new garland (mesh ribbon) and ornaments this year (purchased 90% after last Christmas!). :) I have plans to search for more ornaments at a great price this year too...I like to hit the boutique and florist stores in town. They carry unique ornaments.

This is Raegen's "1st Year Ornament". I searched high and low for the perfect ornament and finally found these silver booties at "Things Remembered".

"May God Bless Each Step You Take"

"Their stockings were hung by the chimney with care"

These silver bells are actually mom's. She quit putting them up once we all left home so I confiscated them a few years back. Billy was kind enough to help me hang them this year. I believe we hung around 50 or so...and I have more! Maybe next year I'll hang them all.


I bought some spotlights this year to illuminate them at night...it's really beautiful.
